Overview
- BMW confirms a four-motor M eDrive layout with independent wheel control enabling configurable all-wheel or rear-wheel drive behavior.
- A 100kWh-plus high-voltage pack with unique cells, enhanced cooling and an 800-volt architecture is engineered for power delivery and faster charging over maximum range.
- Simulated gear shifts and M-specific sound modes—many patented—will enhance engagement and improve drivability in low-grip conditions.
- Development continues with track and ice testing as BMW withholds final figures, saying only that output and acceleration will reach new heights; industry power rumors remain unconfirmed.
- The electric M sedan will be sold alongside a petrol M3 using the S58 engine, with weight trimmed via natural-fibre composites for non-structural parts.
