After huge discount, rebate and low MF. A 77k i4 M50 was offered 3 years 10k lease for $800 tax included last summer. M3 at that price point is well over $1300. The point is how many people cross shop i4 M50 over M3?

It makes complete sense. M3 stays on the same CLAR platform, M4 goes to Neue Klasse EV. There is no M4 ICE because there is NO base car anymore: 4 Series Coupe ICE.

For example today’s M family (M2/M3/M4/M5/M8/X3M/X4M/X5M/X6M) are all ICE cars. New M5 (G90/G99) is PHEV so the next M2/M3/M4/Mx ,… are expected to follow new generation of PHEV… let’s see in 2-3 years

The NA E series M cars, followed by F series turbo chargers (F series and then G series for 2 generations). Then the new generation started by XM and G9x M5. So next M2/M3/M4 or whatever you call M3 2 door / M8/M6 ( I know you believe there is no M6 ![]() I might be wrong… let’s see

So the 8 series - G14, G15, G16 will be produced until 06/2026 and F91, F93 until 10/2025 ?
https://www.bmwblog.com/2024/12/22/b...ds-early-2025/ Initially, rumors suggested that a new generation of the BMW 8 Series and M8 was slated for 2026. However, our sources indicate that the final decision on their development has yet to be made. If greenlit, the next-generation 8 Series and M8 are unlikely to appear before 2029-2030.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the large coupe gets scrapped for good just like MB did with the S Coupe. I certainly hope not since coupes still remain the best looking cars but the trend has been make more
SUV’s. I love my M8 not sure what I could ever replace it with. |

I just received a survey from BMW about my M8, and they asked what I liked about it. I pointed out that a big selling point to me was that it was an ICE car. Maybe similar survey results from others could impact BMW's plans, like people's passion for keeping manuals. There is something else the German car companies, in particular, should keep in mind, and that is that their mechanically operating cars are superior to others, but with BEVs, there are other issues involved as cars become more like automotive appliances, which favors cars coming from China. |

Sad news....which was somewhat in the air. In Germany on the BMW.de configurator the M8C is still configurable/available, but let's see for how long. I love my M8C in every respect and would not trade it or change it for anything else within the BMW's lineup. Actually now I feel even more like keeping this beauty for a long time!
