Based on what consumers do demand, there is a new sheriff coming to town and his motto is ‘drill baby drill’ . . . pretty clear message

But, yeah, BMW continues to plow forward with an EV ///M3 because that is what all the ///M car enthusiasts are going line up to purchase

P.S. it does LOOK good though
BMW i4 M50 is the best selling M car:
https://www.thedrive.com/news/2023s-...-the-i4-m50-ev

BMW EV sales went UP 19% YOY IN Q3 2024, ICE sales went DOWN
https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/globa...ns?language=en

And 92% of EV owners say they’d never buy an ICE car again.

M3 will have an ICE and an EV version. EV version will sell more. Wanna bet?

What’s your source when you say people don’t want EV? The bubble of arrogant/ignorant EV haters?
BMW got the memo, that’s why they’re developing this car.
