General warning: In case you have a history of epelepsy, please be adviced that looking at the rims of the newly presented BMW Active Hybrid 5 could provoke a seizure.
Another stupid car to keep Hollywood celebs happy...pointless! :t-banghea ...though BMW USA could make a HUGE profit I guess ...from a money making point of view, not that pointless at all....:eusa_clap Pure Petrol/Crude oil burning, internal combustion for me - thank you!
I really, really hate the fan boys for doing this to me, because I used to love BMW, but they're really turning me off the company. I hope those are LED's and not just ordinary fog lights, just to annoy them.
That link is not valid or at least it is not valid anymore. Can't find anything in the front page either. Wonder whether the story leaked out before it was supposed to...
Because it is suppose to be driven slow. Why would you need amazing wheels on a slow car? Not to mention they actually look nice.
Sounds great! Glad to hear that BMW will actually produce a Hybrid 5. Looks like they will beat the E-class and Infiniti M hybrids to the market.
I have LED lights (rearlights) on my babybimmer but on the 5-series it looks tacky. BMW or not, it aint beautiful.
Fugly maybe (sounds excessive to me tough, they don't look bad), but they actually have an aerodynamic purpose, cleaning and improving the air flow. Just like the rear-wheel cover of the F700.
