BMW Planning On All Electric Cars In 2012
BMW has become more than just a popular car – but also an icon among people today. When you see a BMW on the road it makes jealous that they got their hands on something that is full of luxury and class. Starting in 2012 BMW will be labeled as a large vehicle manufacturer over here in the U.S.
Because of this great honor the folks at BMW are now in talks amongst themselves to decide whether or not they will produce what they call “an ecologically compatible car for the U.S. market”. They are trying to prepare for the newer and stricter CAFÉ standards that will be in full force in a couple of years.
If they decide to go ahead with these cars they will be shifting gears. BMW is well known for the engines that they use – but these new cars will be battery operated according to a statement given by Norbert Reithofer – CEO of BMW. They are also thinking about starting from scratch with the design. This isn’t confirmed yet so we may still see a battery operated M5 in a couple of years.
