The very first BMW M3 EV is spied on the street with more of his production body.
It has been clearly the Electric 3-Series possibly Betged i3-and The M3-spin-off for a while now, styling will have closely based on the Vision Neue Class concept of 2023.
Just like the concept, the production i3/M3 has a long, flat bonnet and boat lid, as well as low belt line. In the front there is a wide double renal grid that fits seamlessly into the headlights.

A strip of tail lights lives high near the boot lid at the back. Unfortunately, this car still does not wear production-ready lighting units.
In the translation into production, the side windows have become a bit deeper and won frames.
In contrast to the prototype that was spied on at the beginning of the year, which had a circular disguise pattern on the fenders, we can now see bulging wheel arches that will be exclusive to the M3. Of course the thick fenders house the chunkier rubber and wider track of the car.
Our spy photography says that this prototype 20-inch alloy wheels wore Michelin bands at the front with 275/35, and 295/35 rubber at the back.
The desk was also able to zoom in a bit on the interior, where we can see that the dashboard has a large central touchscreen, but not intriguingly no instrumentation panel for the driver.
That’s because the production i3/M3 will use the new panoramic iDrive system, which has a digital display of pillar-to-endable at the basis of the windshield for the instruments, compass, media, climate control and other items.
It is understood that the M3 has an electric motor for each wheel and generates around 746 kW or 1000 hp in the old money.
To seduce performance heads to the M3 EV, it will probably be faster up to 100 km/h than the 3.0-liter Twin-Turbo with straight S-Six-driven M3 CS, which needs 3.4 seconds to raise the century.
Under the skin will use the new i3/M3 BMW’s Neue class EV architecture. The first car based on the platform will be the next generation of IX3 SUV, which is expected to make a while debut this year. This is followed by the i3 in 2026 and the M3 must follow in 2027 or 2028.
