According to The Detroit Bureau, BMW's next-generation M3 sports sedan will come with a petrol/electric plug-in hybrid powertrain - a move which will also likely affect its two-door brother, the M4.

The Detroit Bureau is not alone with this unconfirmed news. It cites an unnamed executive within the company who has worked on both BMW's electrified i sub-brand and in its M performance division, the DB report says stricter emissions legislation is the primary motivator for the move to hybrid propulsion.

With a plug-in hybrid powertrain and battery pack, the next-gen M3 could drive in a zero-emissions mode for up to 32km before its battery is depleted - perfect for crawling through peak-hour traffic.

But it won't come at the expense of performance.
