[xDrive50i]

What I found rather interesting about the picture showing the V12 above is that you can clearly see the alternator. I thought that BMW (at least according to their sales brochures) is pushing the efficient dynamics and one of those functions was to use brake energy regeneration ?!?

I have yet to see any car for the North American market that actually has that feature. They had advertised this on the X6 and on the new 7 series. But to date, none of these cars actually have this brake energy regeneration feature!
The international brochures available from bmw.com for the X6 as well as the new 7 series were both showing the brake energy regeneration features on the efficient dynamics overview pages. However, none of the local market brochures (US or Canada) are showing this feature!?!
