BMW 1-series Hybrid

Car and Driver has spotted a BMW 1-series Hybrid out and about in testing.

There's no way this is going to hit the production side of things for at least a few years, but Car and Driver is saying they may have been looking at what is to come in 2013.

They are also guessing the next generation 1-series might get a mild hybrid system, not a full hybrid system. So expect a start-stop, regenerative braking system used to assist in acceleration or to at least keep the fuel efficiency numbers up for less cost.
