There is always a possibility, if they decide to do a hybrid M. Most hybrids use NA engine, in anything from a prius to a porsche 918.
As for a pure NA BMW M car, I doubt it will be happening for at least another 10+ years, if ever at all. If the automotive trends and emission rules start to change in favor of NA cars and/or huge efficiency gains applied to NA cars (like freevalve tech which koenigseggv developing) then there might be a pure NA M car in the future. |
Actually hybrids with naturally aspirated engine are also going to die out.
If you look at newer cars like the Panamera Turbo S, it combine a turbo with hybrid drive.
Only Toyota clings to naturally aspirated hybrids because they are cheaper to make and Toyota loves making things cheaply. Others are working on Turbo Hybrids with electric turbos.
Here is a great article on the engine of the future.
