The first M class vehicle to get an electric motor will be the BMW plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. The company said in a news release that the BMW XM will be built in South Carolina.

The BMW XM has a V8 engine and electric motor that can provide 750 horsepower and 700 foot-pounds of Torque. The production version of the XM will have a V8 engine with a plug-in hybrid system, but preliminary figures should be considered, according to Jay Hanson.

The company said the front-end design with two large nostril-shaped openings shows off a new direction for its future luxury vehicles that includes an illuminated version of its black kidney grille.

Hanson said the interior features vintage-look leather and a curved display that combines the instrument panel and infotainment display into a single design. BMW M CEO Franciscus van Meel said in a statement that the concept is a complete re-imagining of the high-performance vehicle segment.

The company didn't say how much the vehicle will cost.

BMW expects 50 percent of its new vehicles to be fully electric by the year 2030. It is developing all-electric versions of its 5 Series and 7 Series sedans. The iX3 will only be available in Europe and China.
