Camo BMW M3 EV Shows Concept-to-Production ChangesBMWThe electric BMW M3 isn't far away, and BMW took the opportunity to tease us with a new camouflaged version of it during the company's one-millionth M car celebration.These new photos, shared last week, provide the clearest view yet of what the M3 EV will look like. While it's mighty similar to the M Neue Klasse concept, the changes from concept to production are present throughout. What might be even more enticing, though, is how similar this car looks to the flashy concept.The key elements of the front fascia are nearly identical. BMW's Neue Klasse kidney grille headlights, but instead of an "M" in the motif, there's a light-up "M3" now. The deep V running through the center of the hood into the BMW roundel remains, and the vertical "track lights" in the outer edges of the front bumper carry over, too. The two large openings in the lower bumper are shaped the same as the concept, and here they appear to have movable flaps. BMW dials some aggression out of the front splitter, but that's to be expected versus the rather large table tray that's protruding from the M Neue Klasse's front end.BMW's wheel design itself looks generally similar to the concept's wheels. However, the center-lock design is predictably swapped for a more traditional lug fitting. The side mirrors are less dramatic, too, dropping the concept's thin, protruding arms for thicker mounts. With the camouflage, it's hard to tell how much sculpting has been done along the doors compared to the concept, but a wise guess suggests the concave shapes will be a touch less striking on the production car. BMW swapped out its little door pulls by the pillar for flush-sitting electric door handles, neither of which we're too enthused about.BMWOf the big differences between concept and production, none are as huge as the shift in the rear. The integrated ducktail spoiler is swapped for a tacked-on decklid spoiler, and the protruding area that housed the roundel is now flat. BMW's taillight design looks similar, though, and the rear track lights are making it into the production car, albeit in a less striking fashion since they no longer appear to protrude as far from the rear bumper. The diffuser is largely deleted in favor of a rear end that looks a bit more aero-slippery. And while the rear bumper's shape is clearly related to the concept, it's nowhere near as ostentatious in presentation.BMWIn terms of remaining faithful to the concept, the M3 EV looks to be on a path to success. No, it's not the same, but it was never going to be. On top of providing these new photos, BMW announced that this M3 would be exclusively built at its flagship Munich plant. Starting in 2027, only electric vehicles will be made at this plant in Germany.BMWIf You Can Only Own One Car, Make It One of TheseThese Are the Most Popular Cars by State
