Yeah, you can get a lot of fossil burners for £100k. The tech is impressive though, quite like the 918 spyder. While we are talking tree hugging got passed by a Tesla S the other day.

What the tree huggers forget is that the energy for the batteries has to come from somewhere.

Yeah, completely agree! Ironically our old trucks go to Africa, Cockenzie power station has just been closed and shipped to India or Pakistan. Just shifting the shit air quality elsewhere.

Exactly mate. All this Plug In Hybrid B.S. makes it sound as if electricity is free and supplied directly from thin air

I can not help myself but laugh out loud every time I see these environmentally misguided knobs driving around Central London in these G-Wizz contraptions while their Supercharged RR SPORT is driven just outside the C.C. Zone by their nanny on the numerous school runs and down to Waitrose for the tri weekly shop.

ignoring the politics etc .... it's still an impressive car and good to see BMW making an effort

Tree-hugers rejoice, Hydrogen is the way of the future! I wonder will they do a conversion kit? But the best doesn't always win out, remember; VHS v Beta-max.

Trouble is the majority of decisions made by politicians are boll**s & the average punter has to pick up the bill.
