BMW to Discontinue Gasoline M3, Launches 900 HP Electric M3 in 2025
[Digitaltrends AI Reporter] BMW will discontinue the gasoline-powered M3 based on the G80 platform with the 2027 model, and will launch its first all-electric M3 in 2025. According to the electric vehicle media Electrek on the 26th (local time), the 2027 model is expected to be the last model year for the G80 M3. BMW recently introduced the 2027 'M3 CS Handshift' as the final model of the sixth generation M3. Scott Stirling, BMW M North America Product Manager, also stated in an interview that 'this is the last model for the G80.' He explained the reason why the M3, rather than the M4, was chosen as the sole CS Handshift model.
💡 AI analysis: BMW's discontinuation of the gasoline M3 and shift to an electric M3 signals an acceleration in the transition from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles, potentially reshaping the automotive industry's regulatory and technological landscape.
