Doesn’t the electric BMW M3 already exist? Given its technical characteristics, the i4 M50 and its 544 hp. (more than the current M3 Competition with its 510 hp) could fill that role perfectly, but with more than two tones on the scale, its performance can quickly be limited, especially on the circuit.

BMW is also preparing its first truly radical electric M, a model that must have four electric motors with a capacity of more than 1000 hp.

Specific details of the future electric BMW M3

Will this be the future iM3? Perhaps because the brand has gone from words to action by registering the name “iM3” with the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) and the Deutsches Patent und Markenamt (DPMA) in Germany. A necessary step to guarantee the commercial rights for the future sale of the car

As mentioned above, and it is certainly not a secret, Several electric BMW M’s are in the works. Last July, BMW M boss Frank van Meel expressed great interest in creating the next generations of 100% electric M3 and M4, “provided they can exceed the current range”.

See you in 2027?

In terms of pure acceleration, there should be no problem given the power available with the electric motors. In fact, the challenge with these cars will revolve around handling and overall driving experienceto retain as much of the M3 driving experience as possible.

The upcoming BMW 3 Series (and probably the iM3 as well) will be based on the Neue Klasse architecture. Electric versions of the 3 Series should appear in 2025, and the iM3 could arrive two years later and be sold with thermal engines, since BMW M has not yet buried this power.
