Back in August, BMW M reveled that they built a testbed prototype for an future electric M sports car with four electric motors. See original press release & info at: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1947291

We now bring you a close look at this prototype!

BMW M is likely about to begin road testing of this prototype as it now wears road-legal license plates.

You are now assimilated.

chicagofan00 · 12-14-2022, 06:41 PM

Potentially the first EV I’ll actually have interest in owning…will be interesting to see how this comes along and what the specs are when announced.

DocWeatherington · 12-14-2022, 06:42 PM

Come on bmw...just release it already

Tease.....

ScullyD · 12-14-2022, 06:42 PM

Whatever happened to the iM2 rumors, where the car was codenamed Katharina?

Seems pretty cool. Everything is headed electric, so I will just hope it rivals and ideally crushes the performance offered by Tesla, Lucid, etc while continuing their higher end interior / build quality / etc. The design language of this bad boy looks promising (to me anyway) so far as well! I will keep enjoying my twin turbo V8 but will be glad to potentially look at BMW for a high performance electric when the day comes… 😂

Hate it except for the 4 wheel burnout in that video, that was pretty epic.

Will need to be seriously good to steer better than an iX 👀

WeekendWarriorz · 12-14-2022, 06:43 PM

Another soulless BMW M car that weighs over 2 tons. Nothing to see here

Took a page out of the G Wagon EV book.

mikerx5 · 12-14-2022, 06:46 PM

It has a perfect stance…

ErikJ1 · 12-14-2022, 06:48 PM

Love it, but it will have S Plaid/Lucid pricing..

Couldn't have said it better myself. Let's see what this thing is all about.

Pass on a quarter mile of 150mph... Too fast and stomach turning...

Give it feel, soul and make it not drive like and EV...

Plus some sort of sound

I wonder how far away we are for an official reveal with specs, etc.

I mean the iX is truly brilliant to drive, just the feel of it for what it is. All M needs to do is bring that experience to a sports car or fast sedan car, and it’s a winner.

But they already make an EV that’s incredible, you just have to be comfortable with it being a 6000lb rolling egg.

Devils41 · 12-14-2022, 07:05 PM

*puts on tinfoil hat*
so BMW announces new future design for the M3

From update in the Future BMW Info Thread.
There will be another special M3 model in 2024-2025, either another run of M3 CS (based on LCI2) or something similar.

What if it's a intermediate M3 (M-ev) interesting way for bmw to dip the toe into the market and get some recuperation on the EV development. All this is my $.02 / speculation based on very little research

This will be an I4M or whatever based off the I4...

So won't be a M3 ..look at the rear this could be a "grand coupe"

I know it’s an EV, but..

M4 Gran Coupé
