The seat’s structure benefits from a robotically-wound fibre composite, reducing weight and enhancing the vehicle’s overall energy efficiency. This innovation aligns with BMW M’s broader strategy to blend high performance with high environmental consciousness.
The Altair Enlighten Award recognizes BMW M’s strides in sustainable processes, particularly in ultra-lightweight construction that minimizes emissions and maximizes recyclability. With such developments, BMW M not only adheres to its lofty engineering standards but also drives the industry towards a more sustainable future, proving that high performance and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.
