Angela Pisanu commented on BMW being awarded the Fleet Car of The Year award, "Through its EfficientDynamics initiative, BMW has continued to raise the bar in respect of delivering class leading reductions in carbon dioxide emissions whilst at the same time maintaining exceptional vehicle performance and economy. BMW's achievements in small, medium and in particular the upper fleet vehicle sector convinced us that the firm is once again a worthy winner."
BMW is a very popular prestige brand, its 3 Series model is a benchmark for all other makes & models in its class, and this is represented in its resale value. A used BMW 3 series in Turriff may cost more than other models in its class, but the technological features, reliability and levels of refinement justify the premium price.
