BMW takes another step toward launching an electric M3.

The concept has four motors, all-wheel drive, and a bespoke battery with over 100 kWh.

The M Concept Neue Klasse also previews a new design language coming to future production M models.

BMW has been selling M-flavored electric cars since the i4 M50 arrived in 2021. Since then, the lineup has expanded to include a variety of performance EVs, but a full-fledged M model without a combustion engine is still missing. However, it won’t be long before you find a true M-badged EV at a dealer near you.

Before the electric M3 arrives sometime next year, Munich is previewing the electric super sedan with a new concept car at Le Mans this weekend. The BMW M Concept Neue Klasse is essentially an electric M3 in all but name. It’s not as radical as the Vision Driving Experience (VDX) concept that came before it, largely because it has been toned down to bring it closer to the production model.
