BMW iX3 M60 xDrive Is an Electric SUV That Thinks It’s a Hot Hatch

BMW confirmed the X3 M won’t return, but introduced the iX3 M60 xDrive as the quickest and most powerful variant of the iX3 line, positioned under BMW’s “M Performance” label rather than a full M car. Using two motors and a 112.2-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, it produces 603 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque, enabling a 0–60 mph time of 3.9 seconds and a 149-mph top speed. Standard equipment includes Adaptive M suspension, variable sport steering, and an M Sport rear differential, with added front-end bracing for stiffness.
