宝马目前有10款M版车型，但未来几年将推出更多M版车型。宝马负责M版车型销售的Peter Quintus近日透露，宝马计划进一步扩大M版车型阵容。他虽然没有透露细节，但表示将推出更多M版SUV。他谈及X3 M，该车已经在纽伯格林赛道被谍照记者拍到。而轿跑车风格的X4也将增加M版本。第三代X3标准版将于明年底或2018年初上市，而M版将于2018年底推出。如果宝马推出X1和X2 M版车型也丝毫不令人感到吃惊。不过，他表示，宝马M版本不会像奔驰-AMG那样拥有如此庞大的车型阵容，不会每款车型都提供M版本。而前驱的2系Active Tourer及更大的Gran Tourer七座版不会增加M版本。也就是说，MPV只会提供M Sport套装作为选装件。

BMW says more M SUVs are coming

BMW currently has 10 M-flavored models in its portfolio, but that will change in the years to come as the company’s vice-president of sales and marketing for M models, Peter Quintus, has revealed plans for an M expansion. While details about which models are going to receive the treatment have not been released, Peter Quintus did hint the SUVs will be at the forefront of the M-ification.

He was likely referring to the X3 M, which has already been spotted tackling the Nürburgring. Chances are its coupe-ish sibling, the X4, will also get a high-powered M version further down the line. The regular third-generation X3 is expected to go on sale either by the end of 2017 or early 2018, with the M-flavored derivative slated to arrive probably by the end of 2018. We won’t be too surprised if the smaller X1 and the forthcoming X2 will spawn M versions as well at some point.

He went on to specify the BMW M offerings won’t grow to be as big as Mercedes-AMG’s portfolio, mentioning there will not be an M model in each model range. Reading between the lines, it means the front-wheel-drive 2 Series Active Tourer and its larger seven-seat Gran Tourer counterpart won’t get fully-fledged M versions. That being said, both MPVs can be specified with an optional M Sport Package.
