Ever since BMW has announced its concept car named Vision EfficientDynamics at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 2009, the world began to think about the possibility of a car that does two things very well: looks outstanding and also has a very good fuel economy. And it’s getting near us.

Now, getting back at the present time, we got a piece of news that is sure to be of great importance. According to Ian Robertson, sales and marketing director for BMW, the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is said to have a price tag of about 150,000 euros (around $200,000) when it will be launched. That kind of money doesn’t come by too often, but it will get you a car packing a three cylinder diesel hybrid that sports 328 hp and a huge 62.5 mpg fuel economy.

Unfortunately, there is no official launch date for the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics, although a few speculations could be made, as the German car manufacturer will be sponsoring the 2012 London Olympics and that could be a prime candidate for a debut. Either that or the year 2013, but we shall be looking for more info on that.

It would seem that the Vision EfficientDynamics concept car the Bavarians at BMW rolled out to the public quite some time ago is still the inspiration behind some rumors.

The most recent of them is that BMW are considering building a new model, a hybrid one no less.

The guilty party behind the rumor is the staff at German magazine “Autozeitung” who have made quite an interesting case.

Don’t think back to the BMW 850i with a washing machine engine in it, oh no, this will be a M powered vehicle. Even so, that’s not enough. It will be the 5 liter V10 engine out of the E60 BMW M5 which will be mated to a couple of electric motors rounding up the total horsepower figure somewhere around the 700 mark.

Not bad, not bad at all. The new BMW, dubbed the M8, will be nothing short of spectacular if we pick up this presentation, the spec sheet of the Vision EfficientDynamics concept and the talent that BMW has on offer.

Perhaps it will also be turbocharged, better yet, twin turbocharged. And perhaps it will have machine guns on the roof. We’ll just have to put our sensible hats on, not take it to seriously. Well at least some cheeky Germans who actually work for BMW confirm this.

I have to say that I skipped this video, but at the same time, there were few people talking about it but now I saw it and I would like to share it with you and at the same time to say few words about it.

I want to say at the beginning that the video is cool but it could be much cooler if they would do as they usually make their videos, I mean in a very professional way, it would be better, I think that this video was made in a very short time so they didn’t have time for it.

Anyway, talking about what contains this trailer, it shows a bit of what BMW came at the Geneva Auto Show namely the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept, BMW X6 ActiveHybrid, BMW 1 Series Convertible, BMW M3 Convertible and there will also be some other surprises so if you read this blog, you will find what I’m talking about.
