If you're interested in a greener ride, you'll be happy to note that the upcoming BMW X5 xDrive45e Plug-In Hybrid will feature sustainable new rubber tires from Pirelli.

Anticipation was high for the BMW i8 plus-in hybrid sports car, and when it finally made its debut at this month's Frankfurt Motor Show, it did not disappoint.  It's the Concept X5 eDrive, and it's a green car that we can easily imagine amidst the rest of our new model lineup here at BMW of Salem.

We've all been there.  You're talking on your smartphone, while simultaneously confirming your dinner plans via email, and suddenly, you lose your grip and your device summersaults until it ends up face down on the gritty sidewalk.  Grimacing, you pick it up, and inspect it for damage.  Luckily, there is none, and you breathe a sigh of relief and continue on your way.  How did you manage to escape a future spent viewing Instagram through scratches and cracks?  Gorilla Glass, that's how.
