BMW's are so good that the defy the laws of physics!
Discussion
According to an advert I saw on TV last night all BMW's can 'create their own energy'....
WOW!
Either BMW's engineers are they best on earth and have managed to defy the laws of physics and thermodynamics or BMW have dissapeared completely up their own asses?
I wish I had taken a contract at BMW now as I would have my own perpetual motion machine by now.
On a serious note how the hell do they get away with false advertising like this? It's physics for 13 year olds knowing that you can't 'create' energy.... well it was for me and my basic state education.
And dont' call me a BMW basher (I own 2 of the things and they certainly don't create their own energy)

I think they use regenerative braking for battery recharge?
Ah, here you go!

With Brake Energy Regeneration, BMW EfficientDynamics points the way to a more energy-efficient future. As soon as you brake or take your foot off the accelerator, the kinetic energy is captured and fed to the battery. This reduces the amount of power the battery takes from the engine and hence lowers fuel consumption. When the driver presses the accelerator, on the other hand, the alternator is decoupled from the drivetrain. With fewer components drawing power from the drivetrain, more of the engine's output can go into accelerating the car.

Oh, I totally agree - World suffering certainly pales when compared to this...
So what you are proposing is that we rate all gripes and ills in terms of importance and can only talk about/work on/solve the one at the top of the list, then when that is solved move down to the next one?Don't be a peen.

They're not creating energy. Ah, here you go!Found this. Click here

On a positive note I learnt a new word 'peen' today, result!

If I was annoyed I would have used t
