Automotive News reports that BMW is one of the first automakers in the world to use advanced steel in their vehicles. They share the spot with Honda as the industry leaders in the use of advanced steel. The new advanced steel is already available across many models from the BMW fleet. For the 7 Series alone, 400 pounds of advanced steel was used in the production of each vehicle. The use of this advanced technology helps BMW remove more weight from their vehicles. In the next five years, the use of this lightweight technology is expected to increase significantly.
