BMW says the electric M3 will be a “new level” of performance

BMW teased its all-electric M Series performance sedan today, promising that the all-electric M3 sports car will feature truly next-level specs when it arrives in 2027.

The M3 will have four electric motors and simulated gear shifting, a feature that is quickly becoming a necessity for electrified sports cars. BMW says the setup unlocks the benefits of both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, with the ability to disconnect the front axle.

An electric M3 will also be built New BMW Series platform Which promises more efficient batteries, ultra-fast charging, and higher-powered computers. The build will be 800 volts, the regenerative braking will be highly efficient, and if the camouflaged images are any indication, it’ll be a real street looker.

Speaking of computers, the M3 will have four of them, unified underneath The oddly named “Heart of Joy” item Which combines all the functions of traction, stability and management of the car’s electric motor. This means that when software updates become available, the car’s brain will be able to receive them over the air faster than BMW’s current processors.

The M3’s simulated gear shifting will feature a “newly developed soundscape” that “channels pure emotion.” Like other automakers, BMW hates to alienate its loyal M Series customers by giving them all the torque but none of the gear feedback. Now a fake “soundscape” will accompany all this transformation. Porsche, Hyundai and Dodge are also on board the fake EV crossover bandwagon.
