The concept car is interesting, but I am just not sure that there is all that much to get carried away about. All we have so far is the usual corporate method for generating excitement aimed at an increase in sales. The configuration of the concept car as shown in the thread is not unique - it is based on one of the well known architectures for building a modern hybrid. Without doubt all the major car companies are testing something similar. To me, opinions in the thread are more interesting than the sketch of the car, since they reflect ideas of those who have invested money into the BMW, and care about the company. In the thread, few question the ability of BMW to produce a car of the future, but many might be writing their opinion while worrying about the reliability of the HPFP in their present car.
