BMW is considering a new low-end vehicle to comply with carbon emissions reduction regulations.

“If built, the vehicle would help the German carmaker lower its mostly large-engined fleet’s average carbon dioxide emissions as European Union lawmakers push ahead with CO2-cutting laws.

According to people with knowledge of the project, BMW has ordered initial work on prototypes of a low-emission car smaller than any of the company’s models. “BMW is considering a small car under the Mini,” said one. “It’s very serious.” “
