"Rebadged the 750hL, the hydrogen-powered car differs very little from a conventional 7 Series. A 37-gallon hydrogen tank was installed in the trunk,"

"In order to provide sufficient combustible strength, hydrogen must be compressed to liquid form. This is done by chilling the gaseous hydrogen to minus-425 degrees Fahrenheit, which causes the hydrogen atoms to compress."

"There are, however, significant obstacles to overcome before hydrogen-powered cars become prevalent. Right now, BMW's hydrogen tank has a range of 220 miles."
