The EU recently decided on EURO 7 as part of the European Green Deal, but German BMW has found a solution for its ICE engines considering it too early to fully electrify the car.

Former BMW M department head Markus Flasch said in a statement to German media that the company has a technical solution for its turbocharged petrol engines. These engines are already installed in BMW M models, so by fitting into the announced Euro 7 standard, the engines will still be on offer.

The Bavarian car company has confirmed that it will have its in-line 6-cylinder turbo petrol engine, along with a larger and more powerful V8 option. Alignment with Euro 7 standards, which should take effect from 2025, will extend the life of ICE engines at least until 2030.

BMW has not yet revealed whether and when they will follow in the footsteps of Mercedes, in whose AMG department they have already decided to follow the path of partial electrification. This will compensate for the reduction in displacement and number of cylinders in its turbo petrol engines.
