I love my M5C LCI and I look forward to a hybrid or electric M5C in a few years. I thought long and hard about the Tesla Model S Plaid but it's too sterile. BMW's electrified M5C in the coming years will likely be just right.

We'll see
BMW's sandbagging has put them very far behind in the EV race, so it's currently very hard to take them seriously

good news....and bad news.
Through the lines Flasch says that it's not secure that the v8 will live over the current lineup.....as the straight six is the flasgship iconic engine for BMW M, so....if there will be an ICE enegine to kill...it will be probably my beloved v8. We have another confirmation too......the M3/4 will be the last pure ICE, and they will receive an hybrid module in the next few years....(LCI???) I'm not against hybridisation or electrification, at all. But for a petrolhead like me, these are sad words to listen to. I'm really happy that my brother is due to receive his brand new M8comp coupé next week though. The last pure BMW v8 will scream a little bit over here alongside my M3.

We even had our electrician fit our new house built last year with an EV charging outlet.

But yes, the next generation 3/4 Series and M3/M4 are rumored to usher in the Neue Klasse architecture which is BEV / PHEV only. |

The electrification story has been foretold by Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid powered by 600 HP V8 and 2 electric motors with an additional 282 HP.
In 2013, Porsche 918 Spyder set a Nürburgring lap time of 6:57 beating the previous record by 14 seconds. The record has been beaten since 8 times standing at 6:40. 8 years ago, Porsche 918 Spyder could be in anyone's garage for $1M USD. What is remarkable is how the same technology now costs a fraction. I would not mind M3/M4 with 600 HP inline 6 and 2 electric motors which engage when needed, i.e. pulling out of a corner. |

Personally, I'm very excited for electrification. People love to crap on EVs for lack of engagement, but the Taycan has hinted at the serious performance cars will attain in the next couple years. Think about it: we're only starting down the path to electrification and we have 5,000 pound vehicles doing 0-60 in under 3.0s
Imagine those same power figures in a car that weighs 3500-4000 pounds :O |

BMW will likely develop two modular BEV platforms in the future. One for non-M models, and one for M models. This is my opinion, the platform tech might be so modular and easily changed one day that they'd only have to develop one. Either way, with the performance possibilities electric drive has opened up in the past few years (and exponentially continues to get better) we are bound to get some amazing M's in the future.

1. The first BEV M car performance model ready later this year. 2. A high performance Hybrid "we will see pretty soon" 3. A high performance BEV we'll see in a coupe years. Thoughts on differences between "BEV M car performance model" from #1 and "high performance BEV" from #3?

I think number 2 is the X8 or XM that starts production mid 2022

I also think #1 is the i4. 6/2 debut??
I think #2 "variants" suggests special models. This gen. |

I find this a bit laughable. There are now more "levels of ///M" than there are of the base series
