Perhaps one of the biggest factors in acceleration is a vehicle's weight. The bigger it is, the more the engine has to work to push it. That's why true performance enthusiasts drool when hearing the words carbon fiber, as the lightweight material has been known for giving vehicles the speedy kick that they desire.

To this extent, it makes perfect sense that BMW would invest in the material for use in its lineup, which is why we here at Hendrick BMW are thrilled to announce that the company is now controlling a 15.16-percent stake in SGL Carbon SE; one of the largest and most lauded producers in the industry today.

This move means that BMW will have more access to carbon fiber for use in its lineup, as well as cheaper costs to use it too. And this move even spells good news for the U.S. economy, as the two companies recently opened a new plant for the production of carbon fiber in Washington State. Of course, at the end of the day, we know that this news is best for drivers in the greater Charlotte area and beyond who want to get the most out of their BMW.
