Because some version of this hybridized drivetrain will be in future M cars.

Ugh. I have to believe this isn't the approach, but I think you're right. Mercedes' approach is a 4 banger with an electric motor that in part spools the boost on the turbo. These approaches are so heavy and take away so much from the driving experience. My hope is bmw can sell enough of these PHEVs and EVs as well to keep the M3 non hybrid.
