The pointlessness of Hybrid has just been highlighted by BMW. I’m lucky enough to have an M5 Competition, and the dealer just contacted me about the new M5 model which is a hybrid, it has approx. 100bhp more than mine, but is 570kg heavier, and slower!!!!
That isn’t an answer to a question anyone is asking except bureaucrats…hopefully someone sees sense on this net zero madness soon.
First of all, you’re veryyy lucky for having an M5 Competition, you definitely dodged a bullet without having a plug-in hybrid system in your M5; Second, at least for the time being, the M2,M3,M4 & M8 are still pure ICE. Third, you would think that with all the hype of the WRC going (Plug-In) hybrid we would get more information, but I guess like everything else in the WRC it’s top secret and no can no anything about it.
