I'm the definition of risk taking but calculated, not generalizing about, say, BMW being an "unreliable" brand. It depends....
Sure, but BMW had hybrid 5-Series in the F10 generation (the previous generation before the G30) that were produced starting in 2011. BWM also shares their PHEV “generation” across a lot more than just one product line. They share it across all of them and this is possible since they are replacing the transmission with the EV motor. It means they can match it with any of their engines and it is model agnostic…

This platform is a lot more developed than you think…
