There is hardly a secret that the future of the M Division is electrified. The entire automotive world is heading down that path, and naturally, the sportscar divisions will need to follow suit. According to our sources, the first attempt by the M division at an electrified model will come in the form and shape of the X8 M.<\/p>\n
The uber-luxurious SUV will arrive sometimes in 2022 and will feature a plug-in hybrid drivetrain with a rumored 700+ horsepower output. But that doesn\u2019t seem to be the only M electric product in the pipeline. The next-generation M5 will most certainly have an electric component, yet the biggest surprise comes from next year\u2019s i4 electric vehicle.<\/p>\n
BMW M CEO, Markus Flasch, recently spoke to Australian media ahead of the reveal of the new M3 sedan and M4 coupe. According to the M boss, the first M-fettled product from BMW\u2019s future electric lineup will be a version of the i4, first previewed as a concept in March 2020.<\/p>\n
Of course, this won\u2019t be a full-fledged M product, but rather part of the M Performance Automobiles family. So think along the lines of the M340i, M440i or M550i. It\u2019s likely that most upgrades will be visual, with the typical M aero parts at the front and rear. We should some some M bits inside the cabin as well, with some sportier accents.<\/p>\n
