BMW Hydrogen Powered 7-Series
 |
||
Imagine if every taxi in NYC were powered by the BMW's hydrogen-fueled V8: The only thing coming out of their tailpipes would be water vapor. I pull the Hydrogen 7 out into traffic and joust my way over to the West Side Highway and trundle up to 40-or-so miles per hour, far slower than its' touted 154-mph top speed. The H7 is running just fine, so I thumb the H2 button on the wheel and—exactly nothing happens. The speed and note of the engine change not one bit.For more videos from Popular Mechanics visit: http://www.popularmechanics.co...

I can't speak for customer service though, I only wish Audi didn't get chinsy with the customer service. Sorry for calling you a moron.

IMO you're a moron. Audi's interiors (for one) blow BMW away.

They put the hydrogen engine in the 7-series because the rich and powerful drive them. Its also a heavy car. So its demonstrates the power and smoothness of the engine.BMW calls these people "decision-makers" and produced these cars to gain their trust.

BMW is better than Audi... audi is a good car, but BMW ...by far the best cars, company , and customer service...IMO

LOL but your beloved BMW is the one whose trying to push this hydrogen powered crap. If anything the only good alternative to petrol is diesel (TDI Power). Audi seems to be taking the better path (as usual).

If you drive a 7 Series you shouldn't be too worried about the price of gas.

So many great innovation's with too few resources and expensive upkeep. I do love the 7 series. My last automobile was a 1997 740i - 4.4-liter V8 with lots of power but I only put premium gas in it; at around $60 + upon fill up.
