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.
