Yes, I should have been specific about that.
That said, there was news a few months ago that BMW is planning to phase out the use of the "M Performance Vehicle" branding. Still though, the tiered model structure will remain, and the "i4 M" (or whatever it may be named) will essentially be to the standard i4 what the M440i is to the the standard 4 Series. And, indeed, that means that, for this generation at least, there will be no electric equivalent of the proper M4 (so no wide-body i4 with M4 suspension components, for example). Come next generation though, could it happen? We shall see.
