BMW M: WHAT’S COMING WHEN

M2 CS (2018)

Like the M3 and M4 Club Sport variants, it gains carbonfibre parts and has a subtle hike in power output.

M3 (2019)

New M3 will be larger but the target weight is the same as today’s car. Insiders dismiss all talk of a hybrid drivetrain.

X4 M (2019)

It will be mechanically identical to the forthcoming X3 M, but is likely to be the more dynamic of the two.

M4 CABRIOLET (2020)

Open-top M4 is set to ditch the folding hard-top used today for a lighter fabric roof.

X5 M (2020)

Next X5 M is set to benefit from a range of weightsaving measures and fully variable four-wheel drive.

M8 CABRIO (2020)

Future M range-topper will feature a fabric roof, 2+2 interior and the same driveline as the M8 Coupé.

X3 M (2018)

Aimed at the Mercedes-amg GLC 63 and Porsche Macan Turbo. Twin-turbo 3.0-litre six-pot provides the power.

M4 COUPE (2019)

Second-gen M4 will pack a 10% boost in power at around 465bhp. Planned CS model likely to top 500bhp.

Z4 M (2019)

Roadster sales are falling globally but M will bolster its Z4 with a full-blown M variant with up to 450bhp.

M8 COUPE (2020)

To be positioned much higher than the M6 Coupé it’s set to replace. Gets M’s twin-turbo 4.4 V8 with about 600bhp.

X6 M (2020)

As with the next X5 M, it will get even more power in a bid to match the likes of the Mercedes-amg GLE 63.
