BMW Introduce their first electric Coupe

Coming next year to the UK, the “1 Series Active E” is BMWs first Electric Coupe. Its only limited to 90Mph but its a massive test for BMW to see if it can really take off over here. Only a few will be able to get their hands on the car but if all goes well, its ready to be put into full production. Because of its 170bhp engine, the 0-60 speed is pretty impressive, under 9 seconds.

With a ‘fast charging’ point, the car only takes 3 hours to charge the battery which gives users around 100 miles. The people that are able to get their hands on the car will have to fork out nearly £600 a month to lease it (insurance included we expect) plus what ever it will cost to keep it fully charged.

New 5 Series BMW

Recently announced by BMW, the 5 Series Gran Turismo combines the sheik looks from the coupe BMWs and the luscious interior from a series 7 model. The 550i GT model kicks out over 400bhp and reaches 0-60 in 5 and a half seconds, unleashing the power of its 5 litre V8. Unfortunately the top speed is limited electronically at 155Mph and comes with the new 8 speed gearbox, as shipped with all BMWs nowadays.
