New BMW M3

Upcoming electric M3 appears to be smaller in dimensions to the current model. The silhouette of the vehicle is also vastly different from the already-on-sale M3, sporting shorter overhangs, flared fenders, a more uniformly flowing roofline and a longer, more upright boot deck. The fascia borrows a few elements from the Neue Klasse concept, unveiled in September, last year, such as the revised version of the kidney grille. The front end also gets sleek horizontal headlamps. Another visual detail that can be observed are the flush door handles.
While BMW hasn’t given us a glimpse at the interior, it is safe to expect that it will come with a minimalistic interior layout much like the Neue Klasse concept. Expect very few physical controls to be present, with most of the functions, including the iDrive controller to be integrated into the large central touchscreen.

The electric M3 will reportedly feature a quad-motor setup, with one motor driving each wheel. It was stated during the Neue Klasse concept’s unveiling that the models will have 4695- and 46120-format cylindrical cells with increased nickel content and reduced cobalt content. These cells are said to offer 20 per cent higher energy density than current BMW EVs. Additionally, Neue Klasse EVs will also have 30 per cent quicker charge times.

Other Upcoming BMW Models are the 4 Series and iX3
