BMW is fully aware of the imminent demise of internal combustion engines. It will take time, not just a few days or weeks. possibly ten or two years. However, it will occur. The avalanche of all-electric cars is just getting started with the release of the new BMW i4 and iX. The CLAR architecture of those cars will be replaced with a dedicated EV platform in 2025.
BMW has trademarked the former before; the most recent instance was in 2017. Nothing happened, and BMW affirmed that the M760i would continue to be the most potent 7 Series. Again, nothing has come of the years of rumors around the M9 name. But now, with the entire industry moving quickly in the direction of electrification, things are different. It’s conceivable that BMW M has changed its mind and is still working on an M7.
Although this is only our opinion, keep in mind that work is already being done on the next-generation 7 Series. In the event that it turns out to be the last combustion-powered 7 Series, BMW could want to go all-out. Undoubtedly, an M7 would be appropriate.
Who knows what the M9 will do. Recent pictures taken by our spies appear to show the tough M8 CSL prototype lapping the Nurburgring. According to sources, it will have a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine linked with electric motors to provide a total of about 700 horsepower. The modern M8 can produce up to 617 horsepower. The M8 CSL’s configuration may also serve as a testbed for a new drivetrain that might eventually be used in an M9. That something special is in the works is also indicated by those intakes in place of the back windows.
Unfortunately, the trademark documents make no mention of body type, even though a sedan is very likely. Even-numbered names are used for all of the company’s combustion-engined cars. We wouldn’t anticipate BMW to comment on upcoming goods here because no automaker ever does. However, we truly hope that at least one of these potent sedans comes to pass.

BMW Supercar M9 Concept Renderings Display
While there has been some discussion about a potential partnership between BMW’s hybrid I and racing (M) divisions, there have even been reports about a supercar called the M9 that the company was planning to introduce in 2016 to mark its 100th anniversary. All of this rumor was categorically refuted by the automaker, so for the time being all we have are the creations of freelance designers who have attempted to envision what the M9 would appear to be if it were to be produced and marketed.
Designer Razvan Radion from Romania created this image of the model in the natural environment, and it is quite attractive. Based on the i8, it would have an engine that produced more than 500 horsepower and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque, which would place it on par with the majority of Porsche, Lamborghini, or Ferrari models – especially if it retained the i8’s lightweight chassis.
BMW is undoubtedly cooking up something spectacular for its 100th birthday, even if the German juggernaut won’t be delivering a hybrid supercar anytime soon. Just have to wait and see what that is in detail.
Does BMW produce the M9?
In the car industry, holding onto potential names for its models is nothing new. And BMW has used these strategies before. According to a recent filing with the Philippine Intellectual Property Office, BMW has exclusive rights to the “M7” and “M9” badge names.
BMW has never produced a genuine M7. The M Division has never believed that the 7 Series made sense as a M vehicle for whatever reason. However, it has already reserved the name in 2018. In contrast to the outgoing BMW M760Li, which is a M Performance vehicle, any BMW bearing the M7 emblem on the boot would be a true M Division product. The M760Li is much more luxury-oriented as a result.
We’ve driven a number of 7 Series cars, and while they’re great, the 7er isn’t the best luxury vehicle on the market. Although it is a huge, heavy car, its chassis is outstanding and it has a reasonably good drive. So, it’s possible for us to envision what a BMW M7 may look like, and it’s an intriguing thought. However, given the trend toward electrification, it is unlikely that an M7 will be fueled by gasoline. In the future, an electric M7 might be more sensible.
There is now even more uncertainty regarding a prospective model of the M9. There isn’t much talk about the likelihood of an M9 coming out of Munich, and as has frequently happened previously, the name may just be a fictitious one. According to previous rumors, the M9 will be a custom vehicle, much like the future BMW XM, which lacks a BMW series counterpart.
No other information is provided in these fillings, but we’ll be sure to keep an eye out in case there are any updates.

A BMW M7, will there ever be one?
BMW won’t produce a true M7, but even after the i70 M70 goes on sale, the 7 Series lineup will continue. The business will at some time in the near future introduce the 750e xDrive, a plug-in hybrid 7 Series. This model’s specifications for the United States are not yet accessible, but they have already been made public in Europe. They include a 3.0-liter inline-six engine and a single electric motor. The overall system output is 516 pound-feet of torque and 490 horsepower.
The mild-hybrid 740i accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in five seconds flat, but the BMW 750e PHEV is really slightly faster in Europe, reaching 62 mph in 4.9 seconds. We also know that it will have an all-electric range of between 52 and 57 miles thanks to its European unveiling, however those figures are based on the overly optimistic WLTP scale, meaning that real-world usefulness will undoubtedly be a little less. This PHEV has an 18.7-kWh battery pack, which implies charging won’t take very long, like the mild-hybrid 740i and 760i.
Is it time to purchase a new BMW?
Around holidays like Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, the Fourth of July, and Black Friday, many dealerships offer fantastic discounts. You’ll probably get a better price on your next automobile if you can wait until one of these holidays rather than shopping on an ordinary day of the year.
How long does it take to get a new BMW?
Currently, the average lead time for new BMW orders is between 20 and 24 weeks. In addition to the four to six weeks of transit time that some models require, which is included in the average, lead times for electric and plug-in hybrid models are longer due to very high demand.
The firm informed us that while new-car inventory at BMW dealers is smaller than it has typically been, buyers may still browse what is offered online. Most new automobiles that are in stock can be delivered in less than two weeks.
Cost of the X8 BMW
Pricing for the BMW X8 in 2022 The base price of the BMW X8 in 2022 will be around $166,000, and the X8 M variant will be close to the $200,000 mark. The freshly announced 2022 BMW X8’s deserving successor, the 2023 BMW X8, is already garnering attention.
Exist any V12 BMWs?
In a 7 Series car, BMW’s first V12 engine was introduced in 1987. This week, it finally made it into another 7 Series. “The last BMW 7 Series vehicles with the V12 have been produced,” a BMW representative says.
How quick are BMW M2s?
The BMW M2 Competition is a rather powerful vehicle, even in stock form. With a 3.0-liter inline-six engine under the hood producing 405 horsepower (302 kilowatts), it has a top speed of 155 mph and can accelerate from a stop to 60 mph (0-96 km/h) in under 4.2 seconds (250 kph). However, the vehicle is already capable of doing that.
The S55 engine from BMW powers the M2 Competition and can manage astounding power levels when used properly. The model you can see in the video above is producing 850 horsepower (600 kW), which is almost twice as much power as it did at the factory thanks to multiple hardware upgrades and new software. The HC-Performance crew completed it, and this video demonstrates its full potential.
The driver of this customized M2 Competition unleashes the wrath of the hot hatch along an open stretch of the Autobahn, reaching speeds of up to 186 mph (300 kph). And it is absolutely amazing how quickly the car accelerates from 50 mph (80 kph).
But there’s something we should mention. Even though the car is traveling at an incredible rate of speed, it seems to be bouncing and sliding sideways. According to the video, it appears to be unstable at times and even dangerous to drive; possibly some additional suspension adjustments would be a big improvement over how it is now.
Nevertheless, this is unquestionably one of the fastest BMWs we’ve seen on the Autobahn in recent months. Assuming it makes it through the grueling Autobahn runs, it will be quite interesting to see how this M2 Competition performs on the drag strip.
