Four-wheel drive, a range-extender and electric motors, according to rumors to get rid of 2022 all of BMW’s larger than the 3 Series they, and the Rolls Royce’s.

According to the British Autocar the next-generation BMW 3 Series, which for 2022 on the calendar, sometimes for a huge turnaround. The brand is known for its six-in-package (all you need nowadays is often missing) and rear wheel drive would be on the brink of a real turnaround. The new car will be just like the BMW i3 and i8 to be developed with electric motors as main drive, with gasoline engines as range extenders. Furthermore, the new BMW’s also have to be built from a mix of steel, aluminium and composite materials like carbon.

The step is somewhat forced, for 2021, the European union has pretty stringent CO2 requirements on automakers. In all likelihood there is for 2025 a new standard, of course, even stricter than that of 2021. The large models of BMW, everything from the 3 Series and above, currently taking 75% of BMW’s sales.

Is this the beginning of the end or is it -it is still a BMW – and in the end be fine with that Freude am Fahren?
