BMW’s efficient cars for a greener future
Words MHH International-A Prestige Car Importer German-built BMW cars have been highly regarded in the world of prestige motoring and their future plans include building upon this reputation. Thirteen years ago the brand introduce its ‘Efficient Dynamics’ technology package which, in their words, remains unrivalled in the car manufacturing industry to this day.

It has also been revealed that the new BMW iX3 scheduled for launch at the end of 2020 (subject to the current global crisis) will be fitted with the latest generation of BMW aerodynamic wheels. Other manufacturers in the mainstream sector will be playing catch-up on this aero-science. The technology behind the new wheels has resulted in a five percent reduction in drag coefficient compared to conventional BMW X3 wheels plus a 15% weight
