Sunbelt BMW

What does the BMW hybrid lineup currently look like? Right now, it's comprised of two models/three trims: the Active Hybrid 750i, ActiveHybrid 750Li, and Active Hybrid X6. From what we can tell at Sunbelt BMW, located at Meridian, MS. Drivers' response to these performance-driven green machines is extremely positive. As such, we're thrilled to announce that starting next year, there will be two more BMW hybrids available to the eco-minded speed hounds…
