Coveted CAROLINA awards for BMW EfficientDynamics, BMW Concept X6 and MINI.

Munich. The BMW Group picked up as many as four awards at the CAROLINA
Internet Auto Award 2007 by AutoScout24, Europe's largest automobile
portal. With its EfficientDynamics program, BMW won in the special
category "Best Innovation". "EfficientDynamics" is
BMW's package of measures to optimise fuel consumption which is sold in
models ranging from the BMW 1 Series to the BMW X5. The measures
include High Precision Injection in the modern petrol direct injection
engines, Brake Energy Regeneration, automatic air intake flaps, Auto
Start/Stop Function and intelligent lightweight construction. With
these measures, 40% of new cars made by the BMW Group have an exhaust
emissions level below 140 grams CO2 / km, from MINI to BMW and
Rolls-Royce. The BMW Concept X6 was judged "Best New IAA
Feature"; the majority of those questioned at the IAA were
enthusiastic about the idea of a Sport Activity Vehicle in coupé
form. MINI was also highly successful: the compact, sporty car not only
won the small car category by a comfortable margin, it was also awarded
the title "Most Popular Car in Europe". The Internet Auto
Award is the biggest public internet award of the automotive trade in
Europe, with some 350,000 people voting. The editorial team of
AutoScout24 chose the "Best Innovation". All winners received
the CAROLINA, an extravagantly styled metal trophy. Input text.
