It doesn't take much for us here at Germain BMW of Naples to profess our love for the new BMW models that we carry. They are, after all, some of the most exquisite and compelling vehicles that you'll find on the road today. We also know, however, that when it comes to your next luxury car, you have a choice. And for a while, when drivers in the United States sought luxury, the sought not only BMW, but other competing luxury automakers as well.

And up until recently, one Japanese manufacturer of luxury autos actually held the top spot in terms of sales. We say held in the past tense because their reign has come to an end. Now, it would seem that more and more drivers are choosing to invest in the Blue and White Shield each day, and we couldn't be more thrilled. After all, you can never see too many BMW models on the road.

So who was the reigning luxury king? That would be the Big L. They captured the hearts and minds of luxury drivers for years, and for that we commend them. But, we knew that they were going on borrowed time. It's nearly impossible to contend with the level of luxury and performance that you'll find in models like the BMW 5 Series, X3-Series, and Z4.

Some are claiming, however, that Lexus only fell because of the same hardships that many other Japanese automaker faced in 2011. These would include the devastating earthquake and tsunami that stalled production, and the record flooding in Thailand, which shutdown parts factories. To that we say, let's see what 2012 brings.

If you're interested in helping BMW retain the number one spot, then be sure to contact us online or by phone at (866) 494-8656 today. We can arrange a test drive here at 11286 Tamiami Trl N Naples, FL 34110-1622 on any new or used BMW, and we can demystify the whole car-buying process.
