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. |
Last generation tech?
The motors are a new design built inhouse by BMW.
No permanent magnets and local stability control.
I'm just trying to figure out what last generation tech you are talking about?
