BMW has lifted out 7 awards from one of the country’s most important fleet magazines. Business Car magazine has conferred BMW with the title accolades of ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ and ‘Environmental Award of the Year’ in addition to 5 further product precise awards.

The BMW Group was coroneted as the king in 2 major honors. MINI was declared as ‘Supermini of the Year’. ‘Lower Medium Car of the Year’ was bagged by the three- and five-door BMW 1 Series models. ‘Medium Car of the Year’ was shared by BMW 3 Series Saloon and Touring ranges. BMW’s 5 Series Saloon and Touring were collectively awarded with ‘Executive Car of the Year’ and the BMW X5 was cited as ‘Large 4×4 of the Year’.

Paul Barker, Editor of Business Car stated that “The Manufacturer of the Year award reflects BMW’s huge range of appealing products that the corporate sector relies on, while the Environmental Award is richly deserved for the spectacular achievement of EfficientDynamics, which saves both companies and corporate drivers a large amount of money without any compromise in driving performance or specification.”

Sean Green, who is the Sales Director of BMW UK, articulated: “The corporate customer is an extremely important one for BMW which is why it’s fantastic to be honored by Business Car in so many categories. But with 166 BMW and MINI models emitting 160gkm of CO2 or less it is not hard to see why our products are so popular. With vehicles such as the 109g/km BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Saloon leading the way we fully expect to remain ahead of our premium rivals in 2010.”

Based on a version to the InsideLine an unnamed “senior BMW authority out of Munich” stated that the German auto manufacturer will certainly manufacture a production edition of the Vision EfficientDynamics conception which was introduced last year at the Frankfurt Motor Show. BMW is apparently scheduling for a replica run between 5,000 and 10,000 units in the year 2013. Phew stated that “We’ll get to the details in a moment, but here’s the best news: That name that the marketing people forced on us [is] going to change for sure.”

Evidently, BMW is not planning to dump the revolutionary plug-in crossbreed power train, which stretch out 356 horsepower and of course a whooping 590 pound-feet of torsion in the conception. This only means that we will receive something comparable to the turbocharged 3-cylinder diesel variety extender and double electric motors catered by a lithium polymer battery pack. This was actually boasted in Frankfurt motor show. Sounds grand so far, and BMW arrogates the operation will even improve to more than the 4.8-second 0 to 60 run cited for the conception.

Of course a few of the Vision’s more bizarre external bits will follow the path of the Dodo. But the latest reports by the IL states that BMW’s objective of weight is still below 3,000 pounds. This only means that eminent-technique complexes and production techniques are a genuine lock. Prices for this next-generation eco-friendly super car have not being yet announced.
