Many would agree that out of all car manufacturers, BMW stands towards the front. They have always been known for their excellent craftsmanship and dismissal of anything less than superior. This reputation is what created such a loyal customer base over the years. Visiting your local Northridge used BMW dealer to browse the selection of luxury vehicles will show you that they're made to last, with technology that enhances performance as well as keeps your family safe.

One of the most interesting things about BMW is their stance on protecting our planet. They have been shifting towards a greener perspective of their vehicles, and thus have been looking for revolutionary new ways to improve their automobiles. By trying to reduce their impact on our planet, BMW has shown that even at the heart of all the luxury, there is so much more to driving than the experience.

In fact, BMW has received the award for being "most improved" for fuel efficiency and carbon dioxide emissions out of all the other car manufacturers, even more than Toyota, Honda, and GM who have been coming out with their revolutionary new hybrid and electric vehicles. Everything from little coupes to full-sized SUV's are getting a make-over.

The combined efforts of BMW all come together in their Efficient Dynamics program. A vast collection of scientific advancements and cutting-edge technology make up this program, which goes towards making the vehicles produced by BMW more environmentally friendly. One of there new implementations is advanced diesel. Advanced diesel works similarly to its more traditional cousin, but it produces 99% less emissions. The vehicles that run on this special gas also received some upgrades, giving them a boost to fuel economy. When making the vehicles, lighter materials are used. BMW's revolutionary gas mileage boosters, the Valvetronic and direct-inject technologies, have also been upgraded, helping them give you even more miles per gallon than they used to.

BMW is also working towards making more hybrid vehicles of all sizes for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint a little. With both a hybrid, called the ActiveHybrid, and an electric car, the high-performance Concept 1, both with the standard excellence associated with BMW, you are able to make greener choices without having to give up luxury.

At the Environmental Transport Association's Green Car Awards, BMW was recognized and praised on three different occasions for their eco-friendly point of view. Of all 5,000 cars being judged, BMW received the award for greenest off-road car. You can test drive this vehicle at your local BMW auto dealer Orange County. At the Awards, BMW was also praised for their EfficientDynamics program, which has been applauded for its work towards eco-friendly vehicles.

You don't need to give up environmental conservation to enjoy luxury, or vice versa. There are things we can do to help protect our planet, and driving a hybrid or electric vehicle from BMW can help you play your part. Head to your local Northridge BMW Service dealership and ask about eco-friendly vehicles. By combining innovative technology, undisputed luxury, and an eco-friendly attitude, BMW has taken the car industry to the next level.
