I think this statement is driven by marketing; to get more people buying gas powered M cars right now and to instill a fear that these are somehow more memorable than they really are...

The ICE Engine Is Past
BMW M has no choice but head in this direction or invest in Hydrogen drive tech. The laws all over the developed world will absolutely require zero or near zero emissions on the timeline that they are proposing.
I really don’t understand the pushback from some the people out there to something beyond BMW control and generally aimed at the wellbeing of all. Let’s hope the tunes of the times can provide some entertainment to accompany thre performance and make up for the loss of engine noises. |

But these are EV, Frolich is talking about hybrids, less battery = less weight. It's a stop gap until the EV M is here within a couple of generations. Hopefully the I4 will be juicy until then.

I always thought BMW M would build a naturally aspirated, 8000+ rpm motor combined with hybrid just like the LaFerrari by 2025.
Now that I hear M2 will be made in Mexico starting 2022 for cost cutting, it doesn't seem very likely.

I'll buy an EV if and only if charging stations become as commonplace as gas stations AND a full charge would take no more than 3 to 4 minutes. If BMW or any other car company can guarantee these conditions then they will have my business.

What's the smallest straight 6 or V8 a manufacturer can make with lowest emissions? I don't need to go fast, I just need to hear and feel like its going fast!

The headline reads: Full Electric BMW M Cars Possible After 2025.
I take that to mean that it may be possible to have some fully electric M models by 2025, not the entire M line-up. I doubt internal combustion is going anywhere, anytime soon. I would, however, love to see an electrically assisted M drivetrain soon. And it looks like the next gen M5 will be the one, provided the M550e experiment goes well. |

I don't care how superfast electric cars are, silent sports cars are lame. I watched a Formula E race and it sounded like golf carts going around the track |

"Germany’s Bundesrat federal council agreed to ban fossil fuel powered vehicles by 2030 in October 2016, when it also suggested for the European Commission to introduce an EU ban on diesel and petrol vehicles. German Chancellor Angela Merkel agreed to these plans in August 2017."
Source: European countries banning fossil fuel cars and switching to electric So, 2025 is right on schedule for the Germans. Electric is coming soon. Except in the US. I am sure we will be the last to get onboard with this. |

I agree you don't NEED an ICE to commute but these green zealots are just insane. Germans can't take an idea and just be moderate. Tolstoy said it and now I'm saying it. Protestantism, Catholicism, Clausewitz, Nationalism, Communism, Neo Liberalism, Imperialism, And now Greenism. These guys just take something and will f up everything for an idea. Less than 3 decades after the Berlin Wall and they are back to their old tricks. Petty, insidious, presumptuous, cowardly. do the Germans have any capacity in their brains to learn anything besides racism, Xenophobia, imperialism, and anti-sémitismes? They have mistaken kindness for weakness yet again. Never forget the past or risk repeating history. Die Grunen: kreigsanstifter. Kriegsverlangerer. |
