With the
Frankfurt show a year away and lots of models to unveil Paris was busy for BMW. A new tech-laden
7 Series is the big production car news from Bavaria, BMW spoiling Mercedes-Benz's fun by also showing its
ActiveHybrid version under the Parisian lights. The blink and you'd miss it
facelifted 3 Series was also on show, as was an interesting
X1 concept - this sub-X3 model due to be revealed in production form within the next 12 months.
