Safety Technologies

You know what the old saying says about "great power". Thankfully, the BMW 3 Series, like the Acura TLX, is available with a wide selection of safety features to match its large lineup of powerful engines, making it practical and responsible as well as performance-oriented. From adaptive headlights to a head-up display, to a 360-degree camera, there's almost no active safety feature or driver assist technology you can't get when you choose to drive a BMW 3 Series. Of course, in all fairness to the Acura TLX, it also comes with plenty of standard and available safety features.

Infotainment and Connectivity Features

From BMW iDrive to AcuraLink telematics, both the BMW 3 Series and the Acura TLX are availalble with their own unique infotainment systems that offer modern drivers like you from Middleburg, FL to Gainesville and the nearby areas with plenty of infotainment connectivity options. Choosing the TLX gets you access to niceties like a 10-speaker premium audio system and wireless device charging, too. That being said, you can equip the BMW 3 Series with plenty of extras also - like a Wi-Fi hotspot and Harmon Kardon 16-speaker audio system.

BMW 3 Series Models vs Acura TLX Models

Choosing the BMW 3 Series gives you access to a world of possibility. In fact, one of the most positive attributes about the 3 Series lineup is its versatility. While four-door sedans are undoubtedly one of the most popular options here in the Saint Augustine area, the 3 Series lineup also includes a Sports Wagon for SUV-like capability or Gran Turismo hatchback for added sleek style. What's more, the 3 Series model lineup includes plenty of trim models for each body style. The Acura TLX, by contrast, comes only in sedan form, and there is also only one trim model available, to which you can choose to add more features either a la carte or via option packages.
