BMW ActiveE. Everyday utility.

[flevostad]

I drove this car for a presentation for BMW NL the last two days! I LOVE IT! Its a real BMW.. for 100%. Handling is super.., looks also.. It brakes fenomenal when you lift the gaspedal.. Its even fast to! Never thought i would love it because it has no normal engine, but now i don't mind anymore. I want one!

So ein scheißdreck diese beschissenen E-Karren. Wo kommt denn der ach so tolle Strom her? Joa aus dem nächsten Kohlekraftwerk dass durch die ganzen zusätzlichen E-Autos mehr Energie und somit mehr Treibhausgase produziert. SUPER!! Wenn schon Grün dann der Wasserstoffverbrennungsmotor. Hat die gleichen Leistungen wie ein Benziner, hört sich genau so an, man muss nicht 2 Tage für 10 km laden und es ist auch grün. Verstehe nicht warum man da nicht intensiver entwickelt. Fuck off Elektro Autos.

imagine you are accelerating hard with no sound of enigne. Mecedez have recently introduced their 550bhp fully electric sls amg.

if you think in a way, these are (and many other) the companies who are really shaping the future.

@mowtin

das war sarkasmus richtig?

[jessellanos787]

i will only buy a petrol

[trolleeeee]

@TheVasquez112 thats an oxymoron moron

[trolleeeee]

beemers are for fags 

[lambooo]

where is the charging station , I can say something , Electric cars are not ready yet to hit the market , the technology is there but the stations , people adoptions to these types of cars needs lots of time ... for example , if one electric car help me to pass a 200 km daily from my work to home i will buy one . because i have FJ cruiser and the tank can take me only 430 km :( every 2 day i have to refuel...

[deeppteron]

@lambooo it sounds to me that you don't need an electric car,but a normal european car rather than that fj cruiser(which i have to admit looks pretty interesting and funky)but is just a stupid car intended for the american market. i mean who really needs a 4.0 liter v6 gas guzzler as a commuter car. my car has triple the range of the fj cruiser on the same tank of gas and it's not even considered a very fuel efficient car by modern european standards.

[Tehr0oni]

I have an 8 Cylender BMW...and ill never ever buy an electric car

even if 1 litre of petrol will be more expensive than 1 kilogram of Gold. i will still youse my V8.. infact, ive decide to buy a V12 .

Electri engine? thats for faggots

[Tehr0oni]

@Tehr0oni use **

[ArinOngunTV]

Electric cars still harm the environment, your still burning fossil fuels to create the energy. Just a sales tactic.

[fjuli]

recharge utility everyday...

[XxMoeJoeFlowxX]

Charging the batterys takes to much time..

it must be faster to charge, best way were charging during drive like Trams with cable connection.

[MrLuar1]

I Love Bmw. I have a BMW car. But in terms of electric cars, Tesla is light years ahead

[nintendoatarikiller]

I saw a modified rolls royce being charged via conduction. I believe that's the better route for the shopping mall scenario.

[ltrebl]

I think this is a great vehicle for short everyday drives. I wouldn't mind owning one...

[XscXps3]

Will they do a M version?

[NoNameUser18]

@XscXps3 yeah, then you can drive 10 miles and have to recharge the battery afterwards for 10 hours :D good idea!

[xpgek]

i hate it :( gasoline and diesel ftw

[wacky0pker]

As an engineer, this would be something i would love to be involved in the future.

[susukek]

i am from germany as well, but his english is soo bad!

[SilverFireblade]

@susukek Kein Wunder^^ Der Mann ist ja auch Deutscher und sein Akzent macht sein Englisch zu NICHTE^^

I pray to God that combustion engines never die completely....

[soulresistor]

@PhotoshopSimplified They will....

[Tovkal]

@PhotoshopSimplified But they will... except if the progress with synthetic crude oil continues...

[NRPBrute]

@Tovkal What do you mean? There are already fully synthetic oils and synthetic fuel made from coal has been around for damn near a hundred years. Economics. Crude oil is still too cheap. Once the supply becomes low enough and the demand is high enough other sources of fuel will be more economically viable.

[luedriver]

@PhotoshopSimplified I fear that day, but dream of a alternative fuel source or a more efficient combustion engine...

[NRPBrute]

@luedriver There are already plenty of alternative energy sources. They are just not economically viable at this time due to the still relatively cheap price of oil.

[luedriver]

@NRPBrute my point exactly, but I imagine that some day they will perfect the combustion engine so that it will be 100% efficient, but till then I guess we'll have to keep dreaming...

[wesleyvb99]

@luedriver I promise you there will never be a combustion engine that will be 100% efficient.

[luedriver]

@wesleyvb99 I take that promise and raise you a "too efing expensive for mass production to build" plausibility....

[ultimazer1]

@PhotoshopSimplified: there will always be "oldtimer" cars with combustion engines :) ...and probably many with natural gas in the future instead of petrol

[wesleyvb99]

@PhotoshopSimplified Why? Electric engines have many benefits over combustion engines.

[PhotoshopSimplified]

@wesleyvb99 I understand that. However, combustion engines have a pedigree that you have to respect. I'm fairly sure that someday, another type of power will replace combustion and it will eventually develop a pedigree for itself, but until then it's hard to think about. I guess you could say it has a degree of sentimental value.

[tigers123123]

@PhotoshopSimplified

God has nothing to do with it. Not even a bit.

[ThePorsche4life]

@PhotoshopSimplified I will be sad because we wont be able to hear the great sound a engine makes
