Overview
- BMW M says all Neue Klasse M models will use one motor per wheel with the front axle mechanically decouplable for rear‑drive running and efficiency gains.
- A performance‑tuned high‑voltage battery exceeding 100 kWh with unique cells, a revised layout and upgraded cooling is engineered for sustained peak output at the expense of some range.
- The Heart of Joy centralized controller and M‑specific software promise faster responses, fully independent torque vectoring and higher regenerative braking than standard Neue Klasse EVs.
- Simulated gear shifts and a new M soundscape aim to preserve driver feedback and improve low‑grip controllability by spreading torque more predictably across the accelerator.
- Official power, range and charging figures remain undisclosed as prototypes continue testing toward a 2027 launch, and a combustion M3 will be sold alongside the new electric sedan.
