We're big fans of electric cars, being vehicles that run on clean energy and all, but we're also incredibly sensitive to design. When we first caught wind that BMW was getting into the electric car business, we hopped around ecstatically like little schoolgirls. But those were concept renders. BMW took the wraps off its new BMW i series vehicles and both of them look futuristically gorgeous — or at least as true to a BMW as a car from the future can look.

One of the most common traffic accidents, is when people make a left turn into the path of an oncoming vehicle. BMW wants to make these accidents less likely using a system called Left Turn Assistant, which scans the road ahead for oncoming vehicles, and can even step on the brakes before you run into the other guy.

You have to love BMW's design group. The company already has the goods when it comes to crafting cars, but its DesignworksUSA never ceases to amaze when it tackles other projects, too. Just take a look at the Inspiro, a train for Poland that's modern in more than just its looks.

You know all those awesome concept cars we're always showing you? BMW's "Megacity" electric vehicle feels a lot like one of those, but the company actually has plans to bring this sleek, weird-wheeled-wonder out as early as 2013.
