BMW’s plans to drop the X6 Active Hybrid from their lineup by no means belittles their intentions to move forward with a greener line. Following in the footsteps of the ActiveHybrid7 and ActiveHybrid5 will be a hybrid version for the next generation 3-Series
This ActiveHybrid3 prototype was seen running some laps around the N�rburgring and although there is nothing on the body of the vehicle that can distinguish it from a standard petrol model, this particular tester has the obligatory hybrid stickers on the side and rear. Hybrid stickers are a must during testing because if the car happened to get into an accident, the police and medical crew need to be aware of the dangers of electric power.
The future ActiveHybrid3 will combine a 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine with an electrical engine to deliver some 40 kW (about 53.6 HP). It is scheduled to launch one year after the standard 3-Series, which would be sometime in 2013.
