If you are saying BMW is being environmentally irresponsible in offering a V12, and not an electric, the answer is timing. There are BMWs in development that are all electric screamers. When the marketplace is ready, BMW will do what it thinks will maximize its profits -- like any other car company.
I said drop the engine meaning put it in another vehicle.
