We gauge market interest and listen to the needs of our clients in order to bring in the models they admire most.

But what if you already know exactly what you want? What if you’re tired of settling for an exterior color you don’t love or a model that has every feature except the one you want most? Well, BMW has the perfect solution. They’ll make your dream a reality with the option to special order custom BMW models from the manufacturer.
Step One: Choose Your Vehicle
To get started, you'll need to visit the Build Your Own Page. BMW has so many great models to choose from, but it’s important to choose the vehicle that’s going to fit you, and your family best. If you’re looking for a sporty, compact car, the BMW 2 Series may be right for you. Looking for the latest technology and the most space? Consider the BMW X7. No matter which one you choose, performance and luxury are at the forefront of every BMW ever created.
Step Two: Powertrain
Over the years, BMW has become synonymous with efficiency, performance, and reliability. Choosing your powertrain can seem difficult, but we’ve got some tips to make it easier. First, consider how important fuel economy is to you. Options like larger engines and xDrive, BMWs all-wheel drive system, can lead to fewer miles per gallon but add to the overall experience behind the wheel. BMW’s xDrive All-Wheel-Drive is perfect for drivers who spend time in a variety of conditions or prioritize performance.
Step Three: Design
How your vehicle looks can say a lot about you. Impressive exterior colors, seating materials, and wheels will all be customizable when you decide to build a BMW. For exterior paint, you can go bold with vibrant red or stay subtle with a subdued but stunning pearl white. Of course, there are tons of options, so choose what speaks to you. Interior colors can be just as important. Lighter colors look elegant but can show more stains and wear over time. Dark colors give the cabin a stealthier vibe. Wheels can also play a huge role in how your BMW looks. The 22-inch M Double-spoke black wheels available on the 2022 X5 xDrive40i for example, make this premium SUV look more menacing on the road.
Step Four: Packages*
BMW offers several packages to give you exactly the features you want. Convenience and Premium packages offer different things on different models but always add more comfort and technology. The Driving Assistance Professional Package is perfect for drivers who want almost every available premium driver assistance feature from BMW. For those who prioritize comfort, Interior Design and Luxury Rear Seating Packages promote the best comfort on the road.
Step Five: Accessories**
There are tons of smaller add-ons that can make your new BMW more functional and fitting for your lifestyle. Things like drive recorders, remote start, heated steering wheels, space-saving spare tires, roof rails, and so much more. It’s the small details that can really make a difference in how you feel about and use your new BMW, so make sure you take a look at all of the BMW accessories available for your vehicle.
Step Six: Make Your Dream Car a Reality
