BMW<\/strong> is readying two different M3 models<\/strong> for launch toward the end of this year<\/strong> and early 2027<\/strong>. Recently we saw the electric iM3<\/strong>, which only uses electric power<\/strong> to propel it forward, testing before its unveiling. Now we are seeing the petrol M3 that will keep the company\u2019s trusted 6-cylinder<\/strong>, twin turbo engine as its foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While petrol power<\/strong> is fully in place in the new S58 engine<\/strong>, some electrification<\/strong> will be available, but quite minimal, in order to save weight<\/strong> and keep the car as light as possible for maximum performance. What is not known (yet) is exactly how much power. We can speculate<\/strong> to say over 430kW<\/strong>, alternatively sent to all four wheels<\/strong> via the xDrive<\/strong> system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can see the influence<\/strong> of the Neue Klasse<\/strong> look, especially with the headlights, front grille, and rear lights. Of course this being an M car, four exhaust tailpipes<\/strong> would not be missing. It is somewhat surprising that the car still hides behind so much camouflage<\/strong>, given that the new i3 has already been unveiled, and the M3 itself will be shown around November<\/strong>. Nevertheless, very little is hidden<\/strong> to the eye that is aware.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
