I will believe it when I see it or an official release. The M5 chief was interviewed some time ago and as I recalled he indicated the F90 would not be the last ICE M5.

According to Marcus Flasch the ICE will continue after 2025. I think the next generation M5 will likely have an ICE drive train.

The question asked is as follow.
How long we still have to wait for a BEV M, 15,20, 25 or even more years?

Flasch answered.
We don't want to answer such a hypothetical question, we want and need to remain commercial relevant. It's no doubt the future, but when is now a question left unanswered. Also because the ICE still has a very long and important role to play. I can tell you this: as from 2025 we'll have all kinds of motors: ICE, PHEV and BEV and they will provide a solution for everybodies needs and wants.
