BMW to Go Green?
According to Motor Trend, you heard correct. BMW is apparently planning a new 5 Series ActiveHybrid, which will be a newer version of its new ActiveHybrid mild hybrid system (already featured in the 7 and 6 series) into the all-new BMW 5 Series. Now you can have your BMW and not feel guilty about driving it all over town!
According to the article in Motor Trend:
On the 7 Series, the ActiveHybrid system improves performance versus the 750i, reducing the 0-60 time to approximately 4.8 seconds, while offering about 15-percent better fuel economy. Other advantages include an idle-stop system, which makes town driving more peaceful, and an electrically driven air-conditioner that can run for 30 minutes without the engine. [source]
It’s no surprise to find that BMW is jumping into the growing line of car dealers who have effectively “gone green” with their vehicles. While the green trend is spreading as more people try to conserve gasoline expenses during a downed economy, there is no telling where this trend will be once (if at all) the economy eases back up to where it used to be. In the mean time, it is definitely nice to be reassured that drivers now have more options than ever- especially when it comes to top of the line vehicles such as the BMW.
