I'd imagine at some point (probably the M5 gen after the next one) the models will converge and it will just be an M5. There's no way they toss that legendary model designation / nameplate in a full electric future.

Actually, I'd be extremely surprised if we ever see i5 M on the back of a BMW. That model designation would mean nothing to no one. I think we'd probably see a M5i.
