Not to mention that they have a fully-electric M5 with a 1000bhp to be release in just two years.
The writing is on the wall, BMW is currently in a transitionary period but by the following generation, all their vehicles will have an electric/hybrid drivetrain.

Yes all that is true, and they have to enter the EV space aggressively to catch up where they've fallen behind. but BMW is playing the long game here and being realistic about the ICE/EV transition instead of trying to make shortsighted headlines to boost their stock performance.
And if Germany, Italy, and some other countries have their way against the EU, some ICE models will continue to live on for the forseeable future, as it should be. A handful of new 911s, M cars, and Ferraris being produced annually isn't going to cause an environmental catastrophe.
