Your future BMW M3 setup starts with the wheels, the stance and the sound. Choose the design direction you want, consider how you will use the car, and bring those choices together with BaanVelgen.
This guide focuses on planning for the expected G84: BC Forged wheel designs, future exhaust possibilities with iPE as a priority, and a coordinated approach to suspension, intake and carbon. Our collection brings the designs and enquiry options together.

Model status — expected G84. Our review has not found an official BMW production announcement establishing G84 as the code for a future combustion-engine M3, or confirming its model year, drivetrain and launch date. No G84-specific aftermarket application has been verified in this review. The designs and upgrade categories below are planning options.
The fully electric BMW M3 is a separate programme, with production in Munich planned from 2027. BMW uses ZA0 for its prototype; that alone does not establish the final production code. The current G80/G81 and BMW's M Ignite update are separate again. Parts and specifications are not transferred between these routes.
Forged Wheels: Set the Direction for Your M3
BC Forged is our starting point for a bespoke wheel brief. A clean spoke pattern and understated finish can create an OEM+ direction, while a more intricate design or contrasting colour gives the wheels a stronger presence. Think about the finish alongside the body colour, exterior trim and brake calipers you have in mind.
Choose Your Design and Finish
Start by comparing monoblock and multi-piece designs. The spoke layout, visible hardware and finish all contribute to the appearance of the finished car. The BC Forged RZ25 shown here is one design to consider; the collection gives you a broader starting point for your shortlist.
Brixton Forged offers another design direction for a personalised build. BBS, Vossen and other relevant options can join the shortlist when a suitable application is established. The aim is to find a design you want to live with, then specify the complete package around the car.
Your Design. A Complete Wheel Specification.
Tell us which designs appeal to you and whether everyday comfort, visual presence or road-and-track use matters most. BaanVelgen will assess wheel construction, tyres, brake clearance and load requirements together once the production vehicle can be evaluated. Any weight-saving or handling claim should relate to that actual configuration.

Plan Wheels, Tyres and Stance Together
The wheel design is only part of the result. Tyre profile, ride height and the relationship between the wheels and bodywork determine the overall stance. For a daily-driven car, comfort and usable clearance belong in the brief from the beginning.
Start with the appearance and driving priorities you want rather than choosing a diameter in isolation. If you are considering lowering later, include it in the wheel discussion now. Final sizes follow the production car's requirements; G80/G81 measurements are not a starting specification for G84.
Future BMW M3 Exhaust Upgrades
iPE is our first priority for future exhaust evaluation, alongside relevant applications from Akrapovič and Capristo. This is BaanVelgen's planned coverage, not an announcement of G84 development or availability from those manufacturers.
Define the Sound You Want
Would you prefer a restrained cruising character with more presence under load, or a more expressive setup for occasional drives? Tell us how you plan to use the car and where it will be registered. That gives the future exhaust comparison a clear purpose.
Once dedicated systems are released, the comparison can cover sound, valve operation, component options and suitability for your market. Materials, performance figures and delivery times will come from the specific system. An exhaust offered for an existing M3 does not establish fitment for the future model.
Suspension: Balance Stance and Everyday Use
A lower stance should work with the whole setup. Decide how much you value comfort, everyday clearance and adjustability, then consider the suspension together with your preferred wheels and tyres.
Springs, height-adjustable systems and coilovers are possible future routes. The choice will depend on the production chassis and damper electronics, followed by a suitable product application. There is no G84 lowering amount or suspension kit recommendation at this stage.
Intake: A Later Part of the Performance Plan
Eventuri is a candidate for our future intake evaluation. If intake sound and engine-bay presentation are part of your ideal build, include them in the brief alongside your exhaust preferences.
A recommendation follows the final engine layout and a documented application. Sound and performance benefits must come from the relevant product rather than results achieved on another BMW platform.
Carbon: Keep the Exterior Coherent
Consider the front, sides and rear as one design. A restrained carbon accent and a more pronounced exterior package create different results, so choose the direction alongside your wheel finish and target stance.
Specific components follow the production bodywork, mounting points and sensor layout. For now, reference images and finish preferences are useful ways to describe what you want; a named G84 carbon package is not part of this guide.
Build Your Future M3 Road Setup
Our starting concept combines a preferred BC Forged design and finish, a tyre brief suited to your driving, a target stance and an exhaust sound preference. iPE is the first exhaust direction we will assess. Suspension, intake and carbon can follow as suitable applications become available.
- Tell us about your plans. Include the model you are considering, your country, intended use, budget and timing.
- Choose the visual direction. Send a preferred wheel design, finish or reference image, together with your stance ideas.
- Set your upgrade priorities. Describe the sound and driving character you want, and which additions matter most.
- Review a proposal when the application is ready. Validated components can then be brought into an itemised quotation with specifications, price and delivery terms.
Design preferences can be discussed now. A vehicle-specific order follows verified fitment and an agreed quotation; catalogue prices and lead times do not constitute a G84 offer.
Future BMW M3 Upgrade FAQ
Is the G84 launch date confirmed?
No official BMW announcement establishing a G84 launch date was found in this review. The 2027 production timing mentioned above relates to the electric M3.
Can I choose a wheel design now?
Yes. Shortlist designs and finishes in the collection and send us your preferences. Final dimensions and an order follow validation for the production vehicle.
Does made-to-order production mean a wheel fits G84?
No. The specific configuration still needs to meet the vehicle's requirements. A generic model tag or catalogue listing does not provide that confirmation.
Does this guide cover the electric M3?
This guide focuses on the expected future combustion M3. The electric M3 needs its own upgrade plan; conventional combustion-engine exhaust and intake systems do not belong to that route.
Where should I start if I already own a G80?
Visit the BMW M3 G80 collection and ask us to confirm the exact application for your car.

Sources and Updates
BMW's M Ignite announcement covers the existing M3/M4 range from July 2026 in markets subject to EU7 regulations. The electric M3 production announcement describes the separate Munich programme from 2027. BMW uses ZA0 for its prototype in M Electrified, Episode 5.
In Episode 7, published on 21 October 2026, BMW describes pre-production electric M3 testing at the Sachsenring and Miramas. That update concerns the electric programme, not G84 specifications.
27 October 2026: official model information reviewed. Brand priorities and setup concepts are BaanVelgen recommendations, not supplier release announcements.
