There’s always been something magnetic about BMW. The way the cars look, the way they feel behind the wheel, the prestige of that badge – it’s a brand that sits at the very heart of premium motoring, both across EVs and traditional ICE models.
For years, though, many Australians saw BMW as a dream for “someday.” Something to aspire to, but maybe not today.
That perception has changed. BMW has made premium ownership more accessible than ever thanks to smart ownership packages, a wide range of models across multiple powertrain technologies, and a focus on value that’s aligned with Australian drivers.
Attainability without compromise
So what exactly makes BMW attainable today? It comes down to four pillars that take the guesswork – and the risk – out of premium ownership.
1. Service Inclusive
BMW’s Service Inclusive program is a game-changer. Instead of worrying about unexpected bills or rising costs, owners can lock in their servicing upfront for years. That means predictable, transparent running costs, carried out by factory-trained technicians using genuine BMW parts.
For anyone stepping up from a mainstream brand, it’s a reassurance that premium doesn’t mean painful.
2. Five-year, unlimited-km warranty
Every new BMW sold in Australia comes with a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. Whether you’re clocking up short commutes or long family road trips, that coverage gives you total confidence. It’s BMW backing up its engineering with one of the strongest guarantees in the industry.
3. Guaranteed Future Value
One of the big unknowns when buying premium has always been resale value. BMW Finance solves that with a Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) loan. It locks in how much BMW will value your vehicle for at the end of your finance term, making it easier to plan ahead and upgrade when the time comes.
It’s a way of bringing security and confidence to the ownership journey – and it’s uniquely powerful for buyers moving up from mainstream brands.
4. Roadside Assistance
Finally, there’s BMW Roadside Assistance. Available 24/7, anywhere in Australia, it’s your safety net on the road. Whether you’re driving around the city or exploring beyond it, you’ll never feel stranded.
These four pillars take premium vehicle ownership out of the “luxury only” mindset and place it firmly in the world of practical, everyday attainability.
BMW for every buyer
Attainability also comes down to choice. BMW doesn’t just build one type of vehicle – it builds a full family designed to meet different needs, lifestyles, and budgets.
- Urban drivers: The BMW 1 Series hatch is compact, stylish, and sporty. It’s a perfect entry point to the brand.
- Families: The X1 and X3 SUVs deliver space, practicality, and safety, while still looking and feeling premium.
- Touring drivers: The 3 Series and 5 Series sedans are perfect for long-distance comfort and dynamic driving.
- Sustainability leaders: BMW’s i4 and iX3 EVs prove you can go electric without giving up driving excitement.
The breadth of the portfolio makes BMW not just aspirational but attainable – there’s a model for every stage of life.
ICE, PHEV or EV: The freedom to choose
Some automakers are forcing customers to go all-in on electric. BMW doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, it offers the best of all worlds:
- Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) models for drivers who love the character and flexibility of a traditional engine.
- Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) models for those who want the efficiency of electric driving with the freedom of petrol backup.
- Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) models for those ready to embrace the future of mobility, with instant torque, reduced running costs, and silent refinement.
This technology-open strategy means customers can step into BMW ownership today with the confidence that they’re not locked into a path they’re not ready for.
Why step up from mainstream?
If you’re currently driving a Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, or Toyota, you might be wondering: why move into premium?
The difference isn’t just in the badge – it’s in the experience, the quality materials, and the general fit and finish in the cabin, and it’s noticeable the moment you climb into the driver’s seat.
- Performance: BMWs are engineered to be more engaging, more responsive and generally more fun to drive.
- Quality: Every material, every switch, every detail feels considered and crafted.
- Status: A BMW doesn’t just get you from A to B. It says something about who you are and what you’ve achieved.
- Confidence: With Service Inclusive, warranty, GFV, and Roadside Assist, you’re not stepping into the unknown. You’re part of a structured, well-considered plan.
For many, the jump from mainstream to premium feels like the natural next step – and BMW makes it smoother than ever.
The feeling you can’t measure
Specs, numbers, features – they all matter. But the real difference comes when you drive a BMW.
The steering feels alive in your hands. The balance of the chassis gives you confidence in the corners. The cabin wraps around you in comfort and quality. Even the daily commute feels like something a bit special.
That’s the difference between owning just another car and owning the Ultimate Driving Machine, whether you’re ready to go electric or prefer the feel and sound of a traditional combustion-engined BMW.
Conclusion: Premium has never been closer
BMW has taken away the old barriers to premium vehicle ownership. With Service Inclusive, a five-year warranty, GFV finance options, and 24/7 roadside assist, the value proposition is as strong as the vehicles themselves.
For Australians ready to step up from mainstream brands, BMW offers a path that’s smart, secure, and attainable.
Whether you’re drawn to the thrill of an ICE model, the innovation of a BEV or something that combines the two – a PHEV – there’s a BMW for you, and it’s a lot closer than you might think.
