BMW’s iconic M3 sports sedan is set to electrify the automobile market, with the brand’s product development chief confirming its transformation into a quad-motor electric vehicle (EV), Electrek reported. 

Frank Weber, the product development chief at BMW, disclosed this news during a roundtable interview in Portugal. The move confirms months of speculation regarding an electric M3.

Weber revealed that the first electric M3, expected to be a high-performance EV, would make its debut around 2027. The EV will be based on BMW’s innovative next-gen Neue Klasse platform.

Earlier this month, the German automaker unveiled its “Vision Neue Klasse” which gave insights into its efficient and high-tech future. Weber affirmed that this new architecture is designed to support “four independently operating electric machines [motors] up to one megawatt.”

BMW’s decision to electrify the M3 is in line with the comments of BMW M CEO, Frank Van Meel, who during his Australia visit, underscored the potential of a megawatt sports sedan built on the next-gen platform.

Despite the excitement surrounding its inaugural electric M3, BMW plans to retain the gas-powered version for a little longer.
