Inside BMW Classic - The Hydrogen BMW 5 Series E12 (520h)

In this new video, we went inside the BMW Group Classic in Munich to give you a rare look at the 520h developed in collaboration with the German Aerospace Research Institute. You can imagine it was far less practical than the gasoline-fueled 520i of those days because the hydrogen tank occupied most of the trunk space. The tank had to be specially insulated to protect the hydrogen and store it for as long as possible at a temperature of -250 degrees Celsius (-418 degrees Fahrenheit).

While later hydrogen BMW prototypes were engineered to run on both gasoline and hydrogen, the 520h used only the latter. Interestingly, we also get to see a black 7 Series E23 from 1980 with a hydrogen tank good for 300 kilometers (186 miles) of range.

Let's take a closer look at this unique BMW 5 Series Hydrogen!
