No other manufacturer has achieved the symbolic achievement of mass producing CFRP for volume production and in its most cost effective form. Any other competitor with CFRP in the same capability the customer pays for that because it is not produced in-house.
The G11 BMW 7er begins the Carbon Age for BMW. The competition know it is coming and whilst there is curiosity there is also concern. In June 2015 we will see everything become apparent.

The thing you should know about BMW is that in an ever changing industry there is only one constant. Adapt or die.
BMW have the ability to change as required yet still stand still on their sportier philosophy.
Laser light..blah blah

How about led turn signals in any car that has xenons or led head lights??

Enough with saving led turn signals for the LCI only to remove them with the next model. It's absurd at this point.
