I agree. I think there will be demand for the M340 and M3 in the coming few years, as people see the 3 series is the last of the core models still portraying what people think of as BMW. Eventually, it will follow the 5 and 7 into this new territory of huge proportions and electrification.

Maybe when battery tech becomes more efficient they will be able to build cars that aren’t boats, are lower to the ground, and weigh less. But I’ll still miss the drama of ICE. I don’t think EV is bad, I just wish there wasn’t this wholesale changeover by force. The market would support both for quite a while, maybe forever.
