This is not just any old 7 Series, it's a 7 Series with rather limited boot space...

Since 1979, BMW have been working on their Clean Energy programme, and this is what they have come up with;
"Ostensibly, a BMW 7-series – a 760iL, specifically – engineered to run on either ordinary unleaded petrol or liquefied hydrogen. When burning the latter, it emits only water vapour and trace amounts of nitrogen dioxide and harmful particulates. That, says BMW, makes it the world’s first super-low-emissions luxury vehicle, and a totally sustainable means of personal transport."
It all sounds so great...it's a shame that there is only one fill up station which is in Essex and it can travel 125 miles on one tank. {A normal unleaded car can go approximately 425 miles} They also cost £80,000 and depending on the sources you look at, there's only 100 of these and 4 for sale. It goes 133 mph as well...
