While BMW continues to experiment with hydrogen, this hybrid isn't a hydrogen-powered vehicle. It is a hybrid powertrain, which could have a gasoline engine, a diesel engine, or anything similar at the front end.
As an aside, if BMW did produce a hydrogen vehicle, where would you fill it up? And where would they get their hydrogen from? Hydrogen, IMO, can better be thought of as a storage method (like a battery) than a fuel in the way that we think of gasoline, diesel, natural gas, etc). You have to produce the hydrogen first. Just a few wrinkles to work out there first.....
