Lets all hold it together here. The picture is not from BMW. It is some guys photoshopped version of what he thinks the future 3 series will look like. BMW is going to make their cars as green as they can without losing the ultimate driving machine status. They have never said they are going to sacrifice performance in the name of being green. BMW left F1 for several good reasons. 1. Car sales are down by 30% for every maker except Suburu (not sure why). 2. The sweeping rules changes in F1 the past two years and next year have changed the sport totally. 3. Get ready for Toyota to follow. 4. It makes total sense for BMW to take their resources and figure out how to make great performing cars what are also green, doing so will give them amazing advantages. 5. The US is the single biggest market for BMW with CAFE changes and the current political climate BMW would be foolish to not adjust their business model to take into account this new reality.
I have total confidence that BMW will stay true to their reputation and build great cars and not lose their way.
