Exclusive: Shocking Details About the Future BMW M3 Revealed! ICE Power Lives On

As the automotive industry shifts towards electric power, BMW's M Division is standing firm with their commitment to internal combustion engines. Despite the announcement of an all-electric M3 model, the traditional ICE-powered BMW M3 is reportedly set to continue for another generation with some exciting updates.

Straight-Six Engine and Emission Standards

The next-gen BMW M3, codenamed G84, is rumored to retain the iconic straight-six engine with twin turbos. However, complying with the stringent Euro 7 emission standards poses a challenge. BMW is considering partial electrification, but there's a possibility of keeping it purely ICE-powered to cater to purists.

Next-Generation Updates and Timeline

Expected to arrive in late 2027 or early 2028, the next-gen BMW M3 is likely to continue using the CLAR platform with some enhancements. Meanwhile, fans of the M4 might be disappointed as rumors suggest that it won't receive a new generation, with the current model expected to be phased out by the second quarter of 2027.

The Future of M3 Touring

Speculation surrounds the fate of the M3 Touring, with uncertainties on whether BMW will introduce a new station wagon variant. With the declining popularity of estates, BMW's focus remains on quick crossovers. All these details are unofficial and subject to change until BMW makes an official announcement.
