BMW's Electric M3 Will Drop the 'i' From Its Name
Original: The Electric M3 Will Be BMW’s First EV To Lose The “i”
BMW's upcoming electric M3 will be the company's first electric vehicle to carry the M badge without the 'i' normally attached to its EV names. Reports suggest the high-performance EV will simply be called the M3, aligning it with the petrol model rather than cars like the i4. Enthusiasts are debating whether dropping the 'i' signals BMW wants the electric M3 viewed as a true M car first.
Why now: It's a notable naming shift that suggests BMW wants its flagship performance EV marketed as a mainstream M model.
