The BMW i3 M60 xDrive is set to be introduced in 2027, introducing an M Performance variant to the brand's new fully electric 3 Series lineup. Powered by twin electric motors and equipped with Gen6 M eDrive technology, the i3 M60 promises an WLTP-rated range of up to 830km. Although its power output and acceleration figures have not been disclosed yet, the vehicle will feature steering-wheel paddles for adjusting electric powertrain responses, further enhancing its performance capabilities.
In terms of design, the i3 M60 sports exclusive 21-inch Style 1067M aerodynamic wheels and M Yellow Lights at the front, along with a distinct tail light design at the rear. The upcoming electric M3, which will feature quad-motors and individually controlled power and torque at each corner, will serve as the ultimate performance model in the BMW lineup.
Until then, the i4 M60 xDrive, an all-wheel-drive version of the i4, offers a glimpse of what an electric M Performance model can achieve, with a 0-100km/h time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 225km/h. As the Tesla Model 3 Performance boasts a 0-100km/h time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 261km/h, the i3 M60 will aim to either match or surpass these figures upon its debut. Pricing and availability details for the BMW i3 lineup in Malaysia remain undisclosed.
