That's the main challenge. I'm not sure if BMW will implement hybrid technology in the next generation M3, but maybe the one after that. With BMWs CLAR platform (in the upcoming G30 or whatever 3er), we can see a good amount of weight savings. The more CFRP in the unibody the better.
Honestly, an M3 with 3400lbs or less with an NA I-6 with batteries would be totally awesome... all of the benefits of an NA engine (excellent throttle response + engine sound) along with the benefits of turbo technology (low down + mid range flat torque curve) AND better fuel efficiency? sign me up.
