Final tests

Bmw M3 electric, the era of the high-performance battery car is upon us

The first model of the M Ev division will be launched in 2027. Here are the first technical details of a genuine revolution in electric mobility, which, however, may still be available in an endothermic version. The pictures refer to the latest tests of the new electric M3

Bmw has previewed details of the M division's first high-performance electric model. This is the electric M3, the sports version of the saloon built on the same 800 Volt platform as the iX3, which for the M features a four-motor all-wheel drive system, one per wheel plus a specific centralised driving dynamics control system. The package of technical innovations will be arriving in the coming months tested under very extreme conditions.

The unofficial power is announced to be in four figures

The powertrain package is credited with an as yet unofficial but four-figure power output. It will also be based on sixth-generation technologies found on the Neue Classe family models. What is new is that the front axle will be decoupled, turning the car into a rear-wheel drive. A move that will improve efficiency and increase driving range with the wheels turning at the same time. But the new features do not end there.

 

The battery pack will have a capacity of more than 100 kWh

The M3 Ev will also be equipped with a gearstick simulator with the aim of adding more driving excitement to be matched by a sound appropriate for a high-performance car like the battery-powered M3. Underpinning the four available electric motors will be a battery pack with a capacity of more than 100 kWh designed to handle even high values in energy recovery. Hence the need for compensation so as not to make the weight jump too high.

 

Not all endothermic variants are excluded

In order to contain the considerable weight of the system, the bodywork will inevitably offer lightweight elements. These will be made of natural fibres, an environmentally sustainable mode that provides the same or almost the same results as carbon-fibre ones. In short, the M models of the Neue Classe family promise to be a real thrill-fest in battery-powered driving. It is not entirely excluded, however, that in addition to electric motors, the M models will be offered in an endothermic version.
