I think the current target MPG is 37MPG by 2015 or 2020. Nothing BMW makes even comes close to that.

I think what we are seeing from BMW are ideas that were planned 3-5 years ago. Times are changing and they need to scrap most of it and start over.
I'm in commercial real estate....I better start looking for a place to build that museum Thanks. PalBay
