BMW is getting ready to introduce a new generation of 3-Series sedan, probably next year, and we’ve been focusing a bit too much on the M3. The automaker has just taken the wraps off the ActiveHybrid 5 sedan, so this is the perfect time to take a second look at the 3er with an electric motor.
The ActiveHybrid 3 has once again been spotted testing on the Nurburgring track, and our spy photographers had no trouble identifying it, due to the stickers on the sides and the rear of the car, which have been used before for other hybrid BMW vehicles.

Word is that the ActiveHybrid 3 will make use of the exact same powertrain as the hybrid 5-Series that was launched today. This means it will have 240 hp at its disposal, thanks to a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder with an electric drive system and an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
