BMW\u2019s efforts to electrify sports cars are limited to a variety of M Performance models. Relevant examples include the i4 M50 and iX M60, but a fully fledged M car without a combustion engine will have to wait.

\u201cRight now, it\u2019s not possible yet to do high-performance vehicles purely electric, that\u2019s why we have them in the M Performance models. We say this is not a car built on the track for the track, but it\u2019s developed on the track to give you a little bit more M in your series production car. The i4 M50<\/a> has got more power changes in the chassis setup, but it\u2019s not a track car like the high-performance M3 or M4.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
