Beemer has created the M3 (as well as the M4) to stay the same, so you shouldn’t expect any visual facelift for 2024 BMW M3. The company has planned it out that this gen of M3 and M4 won’t get any major facelift. During the mid cycle updates, they still get technical improvements, but that’s about it. Their visual appearance will remain the same. But along the line, and to see how other brands have developed may have made the Beemer to change their minds. After all, the M3 and M4 are designed to last. They are going to be here and the company wants them to remain fresh.
The Change of Heart
Keeping it appealing and fresh is the main reason why Beemer has finally decided that their M3 (and M4) should get visual updates. This means that the 3 and 4 Series may have proven to deliver satisfying performance so that the company wants them longer. If everything goes as plan, the M4 is even planned to outlast the M3 by one year, or such thing alike.
The company has developed its own plan, which include production end for M3 Beemer G80 sedan and G81 wagon, ending in 2027. It has been extended for an extra of 2 years, considering that it should end in 2025. When the company first announced their M3 Touring, they didn’t actually know how long it will last. They have simply followed where the demand is at. It turns out that the outcome has been positive as demands have always been encouraging. That’s why they decide to extend the lifecycle.
What about the M4 G82 coupe as well as G83 convertible? They will even last longer with the production end set in 2028 – also getting 2 years extension from 2026. This is pretty common with Beemer because the sedan 3 Series typically receives tweaks and upgrades before the convertible or coupe siblings.
The Physical Updates
There hasn’t been any information of what the 2024 BMW M3 will look like, but considering that the company wants their lineup to stay fresh up to the period of 2027 and 2028, they won’t approve 3 years to 4 years of stagnation.
The updated look on the front may happen without the kidney grille, which is kind of massive. You can also expect newer headlights, probably also taillights, and also fresher interior updates. Better features and more sophisticated technologies should also be expected.
Q and A
Q: Is there a possibility that the M3 would be coming as an electric vehicle?
A: There is a possibility, but Beemer hasn’t said anything about it, so we can’t really discuss it a lot.
Q: What would happen if Beemer finally decides that their M3 and M4 would get electric power?
A: Well, they may likely switch the vehicles over to Neue Klasse platform. After all, if the company will make the electric X3 with the platform (together with the gas X3 constructed on CLAR), then they will likely have the same scheme for the M3 and the 3 Series. As information is still limited, let’s wait for further release about the 2024 BMW M3, shall we?
