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.
Very interesting, lets see how it pans out, mine has just less than 2K miles on it so far so plenty of time left in it.
