Spy photos of BMW 1-series Hybrid: Spied Vehicles - BMW 1 Series Hybrid - Motor Trend 2013 BMW 1-series Hybrid - Spied - Car and Driver More Hybrids On the Way From BMW, Including 1-Series - Green Car Reports The Green Car Report article points out that if BMW already has 2010 X6 and 7-Series hybrids, and is currently developing a 1-series hybrid, then 3-series and 5-series hybrids seem a logical next step.
I like how they keep it secret, yeah right! Do you think they might have wanted it noticed this is or might be a hybrid?
lol... nothing to see here, just some obvious stickers that say this is a prototype! My guess is that it'll be a mild hybrid like the 7 Series (also note how BMW uses ActiveHybrid for both their mild hybrid and two-mode full hybrid systems. No distinction). The 1 Series is tight on space (thanks to its RWD layout) so I can't see them stuffing a good sized battery anywhere so it has to be a smaller, Li-Ion type that can maybe fit under the bonnet or something.
Haha. I like your responses. We should have a bunch of stickers made that say "Hybrid Test Vehicle" and we can pass them out to the public at the auto show. (btw LA Auto Show is December 4-13, 2009) Check out this link, whether you live in SoCal or not: http://www.laautoshow.com/AlternativeFuelVehicles.aspx (PHEV Prius is on list) . . .
The 2011 Sienna will be revealed. Hopefully they'll tell us whether a Sienna hybrid is coming or not (methinks it is coming very soon)
