Interesting read Terry. As we know here, current TECs are incredibly inefficient (usually under 10%). Theres no saying you can't use them, but its most likely cost prohibitive. So, BMW is going to have their work cut out for themselves. They're going to have to improve efficiency, and/or cut cost quite a bit I'd think.
