Game-Changing Price for New Hot EV
BMW says the electric M3 will deliver 745 kW and match the petrol model on pricing, according to sales director Sylvia Neubauer.
- BMW sales director Sylvia Neubauer told AutoCar that the upcoming electric sedan will reach price parity with its petrol counterpart. "The good news is that from a pricing perspective, they are in the same ballpark," Neubauer said.
- Built on the 'Neue Klasse' platform, the new electric sedan features a quad-motor setup delivering 745kW, outperforming the 4.4-litre plug-in hybrid turbocharged V8 in the larger sedan. This technical advancement enables the competitive pricing.
- Current Australian petrol variants feature a 3.0-litre six-cylinder twin-turbo engine producing up to 405kW, with prices ranging from $169,100 up to $253,900. This pricing baseline contextualizes the electric model's competitive positioning.
- The new electric model is expected to exceed the $160,000 European price tag, with Australian pricing projected to be closer to $200,000. This maintains competitive positioning despite the technology shift.
- BMW will provide further details regarding the new sedan in the fourth quarter of this year, with the vehicle potentially arriving in Australia by 2027 following its European launch. Market timing remains subject to regional rollout schedules.
