The ActiveE hood is metal. It is probably only marginally lighter bc it's missing one of the inner hood cross braces -bc the battery pack or electric motor(not sure whcih) in the ActiveE sits quite high.
Here are some pics I found of the ActiveE prototype being tailored. I think BMW must have reduced that black box in the center of where a traditional engine would sit. This must be a battery pack, since it has orange power cables atop of it. ? Maybe BrokenVert can take some under hood pics of his car.
production ActiveE... note how the center black box has been reduced in height.
