G84 M3 ICE model to get 48-volt mild-hybrid inline-six engine, not PHEV (per Häcker)

Im going to just throw out the wishlist here:

EV M3 - AWD with every trick their engineers have thought of to make it defy physics.

IC M3 - 9K redline I-6 NA, RWD only, with lots of hybrid torque fill down low. Same approach Bugatti took. With the EV M3, the specs can matter a little bit less and the driving experience can take center stage.

I know it won't happen but that would make for one heck of a "last M3"

Basically, I will be placing an order around Xmass time 2026 for a '27 model to replace my '23.

Any data to corroborate this statement?
