BMW’s electric M3 promises blistering performance with four motors and a Heart of Joy
BMW is developing an all-electric M3 to be revealed in 2027 after the new 3 Series debuts; it will use four motors (one per wheel) and a central Drive Dynamics computer called the Heart of Joy to fine‑tune steering and traction, likely around 1,000 hp (with possible higher bursts), a 108 kWh battery for roughly 450 miles of range, and sub‑3‑second 0–60 mph performance, targeting rivals like the Tesla Model S Plaid and Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. A petrol-hybrid M3 variant is also expected.
