The funny thing is electric is not green at all.
some company has started to make fuel from fruit, just like the banana fuel.

on the sub of banana, they have designed a plastic from banana which is much stronger than PU.
so I think within a few year will will see car make out of banana.

thats not new, 335 has a 3l engine. think bmw use the number to represent the actual performance of the car. cars w 2L or smaller engine will most likely follow similar naming convention when they come out.

so we should not pay more road tax because all BMW 25,30,35 and 40 has the same 3L
