BMW and Mercedes goes all electric and will die because of that. China counts for 30% of their sales, and most of China is COLD climate, which makes EVs useless. I've never seen EV in North China. What sells best is Li auto PHEVs which can go 100km on a charge but also have petrol engine.

new hybrid C63s is using a modified A45s engine, 470hp and it weighs 2100kg. combining it with a 201HP electric motor makes so fat to perform in turns. I expect bmw to use a modified M3 CSL engine to get 560-570HP and use a smaller/lighter electric motor to get a total output of 680-690HP with a curb weight of 1850kg for the new M3 CS xdrive.that formula can let it break the current M3 CS Nürburgring record (7:28.76).
