BMW has revealed the 2027 iX3 M60 xDrive, a new high-performance version of its mid-size electric SUV.
BMW has unveiled the 2027 iX3 M60 xDrive, a new high-performance variant of its mid-size electric SUV that bridges the performance gap between the standard 50 xDrive and the upcoming full-fat iX3 M. The M60 xDrive uses a dual-motor all-wheel drive layout with a new Gen6 electrically excited synchronous motor on the rear axle and a more powerful 420A inverter, producing 450kW of power and 875Nm of torque.
The vehicle accelerates from 0–100km/h in a claimed 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 240km/h, compared to the 50 xDrive which manages the same sprint in 4.9 seconds. Despite this performance increase, the M60 xDrive retains the same 108.7kWh nickel manganese cobalt battery as the 50 xDrive, achieving a range of 754km under WLTP standards—a reduction of 51km. The car features an 800V electrical architecture supporting AC charging up to 22kW and DC fast-charging up to 400kW.
The M60 comes standard with an M Sport braking package available in blue or red, retuned adaptive M suspension, and two new drive modes: M Sport and M Sport Plus. Visually, it is distinguished by a progressive lighting signature with lit bars flanking the double-kidney grille, and in some markets, yellow driving lights. The M60 rides on 21-inch alloy wheels with 22-inch rims as an optional upgrade.
