Thanks for the news summary, I didn't know about that. I think Toyota probably won't try to adopt BMW's fancier engine tech since it costs too much (piezoelectric injectors, spark plug integrated knock detection, etc.), so I guess the carbon fiber could be something.
HSD would be a bit strange to see in a BMW which usually has some attempt at sporting intentions. If they cooperate on this stuff that would be interesting to see.
off topic: Speaking of hybrids, FHI is producing lithium hybrid supercapacitors, and I have this hunch Subaru might be the first to bring out ultracapacitor based hybrids. Hybrids whose batteries don't wear out after a few years!
