25 Years of BMW (Forschung und) Technik GmbH

Innovative force entails future capability. The BMW Group owes its status as the world’s most successful manufacturer of premium automobiles to an outstanding development concept in all areas relevant to driving pleasure, sustainability and safety. The principles of this pre-eminence have been forged over the last quarter of a century in BMW (Forschung und) Technik GmbH. The researchers operating within the framework of this think tank develop technologies and concepts for individual mobility in tomorrow’s world. The subsidiary was created 25 years ago as BMW Technik GmbH. With this company the BMW Group has a centre of competence that is unique throughout the world. It safeguards and expands technology leadership for BMW by providing a constant stream of innovations.

The video is starting to be funny at about 4:40.

But very clever people indeed.

I think this was a great video, its nice to see each area of development they are working on. Its comforting to know there is such a strong and dedicated force at work to ensure the viability of future products.

I hope they get the memo about the next gen M3 Sedan.

The video is on par with other fluffy "information" most companies release to tell everyone that they are looking into the future. The people in the movie look credible, but from what they say it looks as if the future were still as hard to tell as it used to be when the Delphic Oracle was in the same business.
