Exactly. BMW already has two hybrid drivetrains, why would it need Toyota's. BMW's series hybrid (basically a copy of Honda's design from the Insight) makes more sense for a performance-oriented car, Toy's parallel hybrid (developed from TRW's patented engineering design model from the early 1970s) makes more sense for a max low-fuel consumption vehicle such as the Prius.
