On another note, am surprins in concediu 2 modele de BMW camuflate aflate in teste pe ghetarul de la Grossglockener. Unul din ele parea a fi noua serie 1, cealalta parea o limuzina. Am trecut destul de repede pe langa ele, deci nu sunt 100% sigur.

- all-wheel drive hybrid model
- diesel engine coupled with an electric motor mounted on the rear axle for a total output of 200 PS (147 kW) and 450 Nm of torque (332 lb-ft)

Now it seems that the day we will see the first front-wheel drive BMW is closer than we thought. According to Autocar magazine, the 1-Series GT, which is said to be a more practical version featuring a high-rising tail like the 5-Series GT, will be the first BMW to adopt front-wheel drive. Its launch is scheduled for 2014.
