V8, 510PS and 700Nm. Before we switch to electric and the legislators limit us to 200kW

The truth is that electric vehicles a 1 or 2 incremental steps from being vastly superior to ice vehicles at this point. Throw-in a rapid charger so that you can load 200 miles in 15 minutes and what's left to prefer on an ICE?

This really is not enough information. A hybrid ///M car could be interesting however a full electric ///M car just seems...well...taboo...like a GTR with a wooden steering wheel.
Some things just don’t belong in the same bed. The general public cannot tell the difference between a real ///M car and a “fake one” anyway; so this really could get interesting. |

A lot of cars are loud af and equally as slow. Actually these are the most annoying cars on the road. It's ok to loud, if your fast. If. BMW needs only to take direct cues from ( which I'm certain they have ) the 918 spyder: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_918_Spyder Who's gonna argue that the 918 isn't the beast of beasts in this category ? And I'm not even a Pcar guy at all ! But I gotta give it up to them ... this car is nearly 10 years old now ! Just Look at the specs Heavy at well over 3600 lbs +++ The Porsche 918 Spyder is a plug-in hybrid sports car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Porsche. The Spyder is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.6 L (4,593 cc) V8 engine, developing 608 PS (447 kW; 600 bhp) at 8700 rpm, with two electric motors delivering an additional 210 kW (286 PS; 282 bhp) for a combined output of 887 PS (652 kW; 875 bhp) and 1,280 N⋅m (944 lbf⋅ft) of torque !!! Get ready fam - like all things that change and evolve - this is inevitable and part of our future ! Experimental "Power BEV" 5 Series achieves 100+ hp more power than the M5 https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1627835 And whatever became of the 911GT3R hybrid ? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.car...-first-photos/

good news I think..., so I will save tons of $$, there will be no point to spend $100k+ for humming electric sports cars, no petrol smell, no engine or exhaust sound... when that happens probably my next car will be small fully electric KIA or public fully electric transport

My i3rex is a complete and total whispering rocket ship. It beats nearly anything from light to light. ANYTHING ! The torque pull is shockingly fast. My g30 530e - msport ? a silk hammer. Do I still love my M cars more ? Hell yes, way more. But It's the future and I'll almost put $ on it they M division will evolve into an " I + M division. Let's just see where it goes. But for now, I'm going to enjoy all of the different types of cars we currently have on market / hand. pic is of the 918 curb weight ( w arrow ) http://whatiscurbweight.com/vehicle-...urb_weight.htm All of this talk of burbles and exhaust sounds and smells is making me want to go for a good old fashioned rip right now ... brb ! Guess who's turning 40 !? https://www.bmw-m.com/en/topics/maga...m1-procar.html

Hmmm ...
What about the beautiful musical notes of the legendary BMW exhaust? What about the brilliant transmission technologies of ZF ? Is the writing on the wall for ZF ? How on earth can the suspensions take a car (electric) that will be, at least, 1.5 times heavier? Beefing up the suspension also increases the weight itself. The Telsa Model S weighs like my Honda Pilot.

Yes Tesla is a pig at well over 6k lbs curb weight
Yet still so swift - as time moves forward ... everything that starts off huge whittles down in size as technology and innovation grow. Take just for a random example - computers and personal electronic devices and just how much in size and weight they've dropped since the 70s. The Cray Computer in the 70s took up like an entire room or building ! See pics. Today, 4 decades later .. we have more computing power in our pockets than they ever even dreamed of back then ! ... heck, everything gets smaller faster and more tech as we move ahead. Just look at history's lessons. Give it some time. I can just see BMWs marketing department already saying : the new BMW M ... it's ELECTRY- FLYING !
