For years, BMW has been implementing new technology and discoveries to help create a more eco-conscious vehicle. Despite all the luxurious materials and cutting-edge technology found in their vehicles, BMW is helping lead the way towards a greener driving experience.

For making their cars more fuel efficient and for reducing their overall carbon emissions, BMW received a "most improved" award. Even beating out Honda, GM, and Toyota, BMW has been making huge strides towards getting more hybrid and electric models out there. All of their cars, from coupes to SUV's are getting a green make-over.

A vast collection of scientific advancements and cutting-edge technology make up this program, which goes towards making the vehicles produced by BMW more environmentally friendly. One of there new implementations is advanced diesel. Advanced diesel works similarly to its more traditional cousin, but it produces 99% less emissions. The vehicles that run on this special gas also received some upgrades, giving them a boost to fuel economy. When making the vehicles, lighter materials are used. BMW's revolutionary gas mileage boosters, the Valvetronic and direct-inject technologies, have also been upgraded, helping them give you even more miles per gallon than they used to.

In an effort to add a touch of luxury to the already-existing hybrid and electronic models available by other manufacturers, BMW is working on beefing up their selection of green cars. A hybrid vehicle, referred to as the ActiveHybrid series, and an electric car, the Concept 1, come with all the luxury and class that you would associate with BMW with added green technology.
