Overview
- The company says its first fully electric M models, including an M3, will launch globally from 2027.
- An M eDrive system with one motor per wheel enables precise torque vectoring, with software-managed Dynamic Performance Control and optional front‑axle decoupling.
- Sixth‑generation batteries promise over 100 kWh usable capacity on an 800‑volt architecture with upgraded cooling and structural integration for sustained performance.
- Confirmed features include artificial soundscapes and programmed “shift” events intended to replicate familiar performance cues.
- Media reports project the quad‑motor M3 could approach or exceed about 1,000 bhp, while a separate ICE M3 with a mild‑hybrid inline‑six is described as in development but remains unconfirmed in detail.
