BMW to End G80 M3 Production by 2027

BMW is planning to end production of the G80 and G81 M3 models in February 2027. This marks the end of the current generation of high performance internal combustion engines for the M3 line, with the next generation expected to arrive in July 2028. The transition comes as the automotive industry faces increasing pressure to decarbonize. The current M3 models average around 19 miles per gallon, highlighting the emissions gap that next generation electric or hybrid powertrains will need to address.
