Do you want an old radio with a freakin' antenna out the back for entertainment? No, you want Apple car play, Bluetooth, hot spot wifi, freakin satellite radio that beams your dumb talk shows from outer space!
Do you want an old technology 1986 M3 with 200 horsepower? NO. You want it to be more powerful than the current model, sip less fuel, emit less harmful gasses and be more reliable.
Do you want an M3 with more lightweight carbon fiber technology or would you rather have more steel?

Then why all the fuss about hybrid engines? If you have any doubts at all, look no further than BMW's masterful implementation if the i8 with just 3 cylinders! That's the new floor.
I don't resist progress and innovation, but these are the last things I need in a sports car when driving an engaging mountain pass in my Z4M-R:
"Apple car play, Bluetooth, hot spot wifi, freakin satellite radio that beams your dumb talk shows from outer space"
