Default BMW Testing Steam-powered engine?!

Just read about it in the Car and Driver at my doctor's office this morning. Anyone see this article? It uses the wasted heat from combustion to drive two steam engines, using heat off the coolant fresh from the engine and the other off the heat at the exhaust. Pretty _____in. SHould check it out ;)

Its funny how "new" cars are using old techniques. Things are very cyclical.

Give me a Scion tC with a 13B rotary engine. That would be a dream come true.
