Overview
- BMW M eDrive places one motor at each wheel for rapid, independent torque control, with the front axle able to decouple for rear‑drive operation and efficiency gains.
- The high‑voltage battery exceeds 100 kWh and is engineered for sustained peak output, faster charging and added chassis stiffness via structural integration.
- A centralized electronics suite led by the Heart of Joy and four high‑performance “Superbrains” coordinates driving dynamics, braking, regeneration and software updates.
- Driver‑focused features include simulated gear shifts and an M‑specific soundscape intended to deliver familiar engagement in an all‑electric package.
- BMW will sell petrol M3 variants alongside the EV, and final power, range and pricing are still to be confirmed as media reports speculate about four‑digit output.
