If you happen to wander into a BMW dealer and see a huge flat-panel in the corner, it's likely not a TV on which owners can watch CNN while waiting for their Bimmer to be serviced. It's more likely one of these high-tech sales tools for the Bavarian motor company. Powered by software made by <a href="http://www.innotive.com/">Innotive</a>, these touch-screen information displays allow a sales consultant to point out design features and even call up comparisons to competitive models. It's kind of like having the company's build-a-car websites open and active, but at a much higher level of interaction. And with the ability to telestrate and customize a sales pitch to the individual, it should be the ultimate selling machine for these ultimate driving machines. <br /><br />Follow the jump to see a YouTube video of a salesperson using the system to compare features of a BMW to those of an Audi. You'll also see a customer using the system to customize his car with a few taps of the glass.<br /><br />[Source: Fresh Creation]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/14/bmw-the-ultimate-selling-machine/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>BMW: The Ultimate Selling Machine</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/14/bmw-the-ultimate-selling-machine/">BMW: The Ultimate Selling Machine</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 14 Mar 2007 18:02:00 EST.
