BMW or Mercedes Benz? US survey results.

source site – Insurance Blog, Home Insurance Blog, Life Insurance, InsWeb Insurance Blog

Have you ever pondered that question? If you were to buy a car (not necessarily a new one), and your choice was between the two, which would you prefer? I realize that’s not a simple question to answer. Particularly since there are multiple models for each make, presumably to suit all ages and budgets.

this is probably old news for many, but merely confirms many beliefs about the profile or bmw and merc drivers. interesting to note that accountants prefer bimmers in the US.

BMW Ranked Most Sustainable Automaker

source site – BMW Ranked Most Sustainable Automaker | Green Blog & Discussion at Automobile Magazine and BMW Group is once again most sustainable automotive company

The BMW Group is the only company in its industry to have been listed in this important collection of corporate sustainability indexes every year since they were established in 1999. The BMW Group’s Board of Management defined sustainability as a key corporate principle back in 2000. Sustainability throughout the value chain, comprehensive product responsibility and consistent conservation of resources are firmly anchored in the company’s processes. The BMW Group is using its strategy for sustainable mobility – which encompasses efficiency increases and further electrification of the power train through to the long-term use of hydrogen – to reduce the CO2 emissions of its entire vehicle fleet. Production sites are minimising their environmental impact and conserving resources. High social standards for the employees of the BMW Group have also been implemented at all locations for decades. More detailed information is available at www.bmwgroup.com/responsibility.

well done to BMW for their work in sustainable development.

Chris Bangle at TED.com – an insight to BMW’s design spirit

I managed to stumble on this great video of Chris Bangle at TED.com relating to the BMW design philosophy and spirit. This was done in 2002 and i believe is quite relevant for the new age design and technology approaches for the 21st century.

i like the way bangle creates an environment to unleash creative forces of his people. some food for thought for those of us challenged by new problems of change and innovation.
