BMW's new Concept Hybrid Vehicle

[rmoore]

When an automaker wants to 'test the water' and get customer opinions on their future ideas, they build what is called a 'concept' vehicle.

The BMW i-3 Concept vehicle has some interesting features. If they ever become a part of a future BMW hybrid, then rescue personnel will have some interesting challenges in store for them.

I particularly like the glass paneled doors. All we would need would be a spring-loaded center punch!

Maybe this is the genisis of the hydraulic window punch?

Ugly.

Love to trunk tunnel that thing, take out the spoiler and catch all the falling glass. Done.

Besides the smaller size BMW concept Hybrid, the i-3, there is a Big Brother, the i-8.

Here he is...

Is that the Flux Capacitor built into the center console?

Anyone ever cut a Delorean? Do the gull doors present a problem? I wouldn't think the different door angles would present a problem here other then you'd have to be aware of them and adapt accordingly. The strut at the base of the A-post would also be something to be aware of.
