Full blown i4M with let's say 700+ hp and in its own platform weighing 4500 lbs or so would be amazing.
Makes me think that's what they are waiting for. Next gen when they can get weight down they will do it.

I don't think any EV at this point would hold up to the M standard. It would weigh too much, be handling and cooling compromised.
Plus this isn't even a dedicated effort as this underneath is the 3/4 series with the ICE motor ripped out and replaced with EV tech, based upon last generation tech. |
This is sort of funny.

You could *almost* replace 'EV' with every successive generation of M Car. |
That is kind of funny.
My E90 weighed more than my E36 which weighed more than my E30.
Each generation of car M or otherwise weighed more.
I did see the article on tri-motor M5 possibility. While interesting; I don't need to go faster. I need longer distance.
The M50 has plenty in the HP/torque department. I would say than 99% of people are going to run out of road before they run out of car.
