Overview
- The M eDrive system uses one motor per wheel for precise torque vectoring, with a decoupling feature that enables pure rear-wheel drive for efficiency or dynamic handling.
- An M-specific high-voltage battery exceeding 100 kWh on an 800‑volt architecture adds two-sided cooling and structural integration for stiffness and sustained power, with natural-fibre components targeting lower CO2e in production.
- A consolidated electronics setup of four high-performance “superbrains” includes the Heart of Joy controller, or BMW M Dynamic Performance Control, to manage motors, traction and energy recuperation with faster responses.
- Simulated gear shifts are paired with an exclusive M soundscape to bolster driver engagement and help modulate torque in low-grip conditions.
- BMW targets a 2027 launch for its first fully electric M models, while final power, range and acceleration figures remain undisclosed, and reported peak-output numbers are unconfirmed.
