BMW considering alternate hybrid systems for M division

do you just cut and paste the same comment every time you post? Doesn't that get boring? Because reading it sure does.

JRob, didn't you know that Staar(k raving lunatic) is suffering from synapse failure and is incapable of expressing any other comment - talk about not firing on all cylinders...

Anyway, it will be interesting to see how far BMW can push the envelope with this technology.

Good, now lets see what a proper bunch of engineers can do with this technology. We hopefully will get some great real world applications/innovations that can be applied to all vehicles regardless of price or size.

It's a good thing BMW is giving us the performance hybrid, now we can all finally claim that the Lexus GS450h copied it.

BMW: always follow.

You mean now we can see what a proper bunch of marketers can do, convincing sheep that the GS450h is actually a copy of this prototype. BMW stopped employing engineers about 10 years ago.

It is funny how people don't read the article and started posting "opinions" after reading the title... sad.

mpwr,
And you suppose anybody who doesn't follow F1 to care?

Maybe if they put more F1 technology in their cars, BMW wouldn't have to offer 0% downpayment, 1% financing and more and more cheap economy models. People might actually want their cars without being given an incentive.

Again, BMW cars are designed by marketers, not engineers.

I really enjoy reading auto spies, except for the haters, whats wrong with you guys, why is it wrong to like one brand over another. I'm guessing some of the BMW or Lexus and mercedes haters have never owned or even driven these cars. I like most of you guys love cars, I respect any manufacture that spends time and money developing new models and technology. I'm a loyal to the brand I own, but would buy another brand if my economic situation changed for the better or the worst. Why not allow other readers to share their opinions without being bashed or ridiculed?
