Lightbulb World premiere: BMW H7

This is too cool: I work for a BMW dealer. We just got some literature about the newest technological advance from BMW: a Hydrogen-powered v-12 engine that has virtually no emissions. Water in, a water mist out. We're talking 260 horses and top speed of 143 (this is accoring to BMW magazine, so, bear with me). The car is physically a duplicate of the regular 7-series, with the exception of a little steering wheel button that allows you to switch between gas and hydrogen, so it's a true multi-fuel. Anxious to see a price tag...
Those of us who make at least some attempt at being environmentally conscious can really embrace what this technology represents

Is it really going into production in foreseeable future? Seems like I have heard about this car, or a mini or something, quite a while ago...

too funny.

This vehicle is going into production as we speak, if I understand correctly. Also, it could be in a Mini, as BMW and Mini are tight buddies

That is to Mini's detriment IMO.
