Click above to see a video of the BMW PAV in action.
While a lot of attention will be paid to BMW's M3 convertible fitted with the automaker's new dual-clutch gearbox, another vehicle set to debut in Geneva has the potential of being as important, if not more so. BMW plans to show off a new concept utilizing its Efficient Dynamics powertrain and it could be our first glimpse of the recently spied Progressive Activity Sedan (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/06/spy-video-bmw-progressive-activity-sedan/).
At this point, the details about the concept are minimal, but considering BMW's penchant for unveiling near-production ready concepts with next generation drivetrains (ala X6 (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/11/frankfurt-2007-bmw-x6-revealed/)), it's a distinct possibility. And with sales of the PAV expected to begin sometime next year, Geneva might be the first place BMW shows off its plans to assault the people-mover segment.
