With BMW\u2019s Neue Klasse<\/a> chassis looms on the horizon, its current lineup is about to undergo some big changes. For instance, one car that\u2019s quite the fan favorite among BMW enthusiasts\u2014the BMW X3 M\u2014is about to meet its four-wheeled maker. After this generation of X3 M<\/a>, the M Division\u2019s most fun SUV is rumored to be killed off to make way for high-performance electric cars. The first of BMW\u2019s Neue Klasse electric cars will be the next-generation of iX3. It will be sold alongside the next generation of BMW X3 (G45 code), though both cars will have different chassis.<\/p>\n

BMW iX3 M Likely To Arrive<\/h2>\n

The rumormill churns out that along with the iX3<\/a> will be a performance version, BMW will build in the future a M version of it \u2013 iX3 M (the name is likely a placeholder for now and might still be called simply the X3 M). There\u2019s no word on power or performance, but it\u2019s likely to have more power than the current X3 M, just with an electric powertrain.\u00a0Since BMW wants to start pushing high-performance electric vehicles, it likely doesn\u2019t want to distract from that with an internal combustion version. So rather than have a gas-powered X3 M fight for sales with an electric iX3 M, BMW might feel it\u2019s best to just sell the latter. But these are our assumptions since BMW has been quiet on this topic.<\/p>\n
