"The M3 will have four electric motors and simulated gear shifting, a feature that is quickly becoming a must-have for electrified sports cars. BMW says the setup unlocks the benefits of both rear and all-wheel drive, with the ability to decouple the front axle. Four motors, though, is a bit of an outlier in the performance world. Tri-motors, sure, you can find plenty, like Tesla Model S Plaid and Lucid Air Sapphire."
"But four motors are bit a rarer: the only ones I could think of are the Rivian R1T and R1S Quad, Rimac Nevera, and the electric Mercedes G-Wagen (or G580 with EQ Technology, if you prefer). The electric M3 will also be built on BMW's Neue Klasse platform that promises more efficient batteries, lightning fast charging, and higher powered computers."
BMW will introduce an all-electric M3 M-series sports sedan in 2027 with a quad-motor layout and simulated gear shifting. The four-motor system enables both rear-drive characteristics and full all-wheel-drive capability with the ability to decouple the front axle. Four-motor configurations remain uncommon compared with tri-motor setups, with a few examples including the Rivian R1T/R1S Quad, Rimac Nevera, and the electric Mercedes G-Wagen. The M3 will use the Neue Klasse platform featuring more efficient batteries, faster charging, higher-powered computers, an 800-volt electrical architecture, and highly efficient regenerative braking. Camouflaged pictures indicate distinctive styling.
