Dude, this site is the coolest!

This site represents the brand really well. It's visually engaging, interactive and has tons of useful info and interesting features. As it should. This is after all BMW...

I liked this site because it had tons of features to explore, yet was easy to navigate. It uses flash, javascript, animation, databases in a stylish, user friendly way. You can explore all the vehicles inside out and defintely can get a feel for the luxury they offer.

Here is their cool intro to the hybrid 7:

I really liked the build your own feature, I whish I knew how to create something like this:

The site has financial calculators, drop downs menus, international sites in diferrent languages, a dealer locator, shopping functionality, just to mention a few features, so I think it is an excellent showcase of web design skills. I am not quite at this level yet...
