Long live ICE

Pretty sure rumors I've seen is that the next M5 will be a mild hybrid with the ICE. Please correct me if I'm wrong

Rumor has it that there will supposedly be two versions of the M5; a plug-in hybrid and a fully electric version.
To the point was attempting to make is that BMW is all on board with phasing out the ICE, as they are already christening a bonafide and established M model as fully electric. This will eventually trickle down to the lower tier M offerings.

The infrastructure in the US has a long way to go. No way ICE is dead in 15 years. Hybrid will be the next king, I think. But that's just a practical opinion. Could be wrong.

It's practical and more realistic. It is my opinion that we will
never move away from ICE's fully unless we are legislated (…
**cough**…forced…**cough**) into it. That's going to be a huge uphill battle for the must-go-green supporters who will not subject themselves to the same rules. We would have to revamp the entire trucking industry, improve our infrastructure significantly, etc. The government barely uses infrastructure money on actual infrastructure improvements now.
