Electrification has arrived to change everything and we are seeing how, little by little, it reaches all corners of the automotive industry. Even sports cars seem predestined to use this type of propulsion system, although the most purists may not like it. The latest information tells us that the first electric BMW M3 is in the pipeline. It will not arrive immediately to replace the combustion one, as it has a few years of life left. It seems that the two formats will coexist before the paradigm shift occurs.
The German brand has a strong commitment to electrification and the most anticipated base is the Neue Klasse. We are talking about the electric platform that will give life to the majority of BMWs in the coming years and that will also include the electric M3. Some images of a camouflaged prototype have already been shown with the promise that there will be news in the coming months. The design is inspired by that of the prototype, with minimalist lines and a grill that seems more refined than that of the current Series 3.
Everything indicates that the BMW M3 EV will debut in 2027. It will come after the future i3 is launched in 2026 with the Neue Klasse platform. That sedan will be a revolution and its top-of-the-range variant will not be left behind. There are still doubts about its name, but it is clear that performance will be above all. There is talk of a 670 hp power which could become more in special versions. The brand has hinted that its electric vehicles with four motors could reach peaks of 1,300 HP, although that will be in other models.
One of the highlights of the electric M3 It will be traction controlwhich will ensure notable effectiveness on any surface. Advanced chassis control is also expected thanks to the new platform’s electronics. In any case, there is less left to know more details about this specimen that could change the rules forever in BMW M. Currently there is already electrification in models such as the M5 or the XM, but in the future it will be taken further.
