BMW 5 series

I recently read an evaluation of BMW’s new 5 series. The new diesel powered car gets more miles per gallon’s than Toyotas Prius. The 5 series gets about 42 miles to the gallon, beating the Prius by almost a mile. Although the difference is not huge it is still a huge step in the right direction and has raised many questions about new technologies. The new battery saving features, and six speed transmissions have increased the fuel economy by 10%. This new technology may be used in many car manufactures in the future. Having a sports car compare to one of the most fuel efficient cars ever made is certainly an achievement. This evaluation raises the awareness of new technology and BMW’s eco-friendly practices.
