Simply because it wouldn't look good to have the Tesla 3 easily beat the M version of the competing BMW electric model. And to beat the Tesla 3 means BMW needs to be on par or better performance than the M3...
I wouldn't worry about effecting sales of the M3 if i4M is priced higher and lots of M buyers still won't consider electric even if it has better performance.

Agreed. Sadly think they'll try to keep the ICE cars the kings of the line ups for now. They'll probably be extremely close if not the same in terms of performance, but edge would be given to the M3/M4. Similar to how the M8 has the edge over the M5.
