BMW M Goes Electric: What the Neue Klasse Means for Performance Driving

BMW M is entering into a new chapter of its life, and it’s electric.

Beginning in 2027, the BMW M Neue Klasse will introduce the first fully electric BMW M models, bringing the brand’s motorsport DNA into the electric era. For BMW M fans, this marks a major milestone that proves performance and electrification can coexist without compromise.

Electric Power Built the BMW M Way

The BMW M Neue Klasse has been engineered from the ground up as a high-performance electric platform. Each wheel is powered by its own electric motor, allowing for incredibly precise power delivery, traction, and control.

This setup blends the confidence of All Wheel Drive with the classic feel of a Rear Wheel Drive setup. When efficiency matters, the front axle can even be disengaged, preserving the engaging driving experience BMW M is known for.

Smarter Technology, Sharper Driving Feel

At the heart of the M Neue Klasse is an advanced driving control system that manages power, stability, and response in real time. This allows the vehicle to react instantly to driver inputs and road conditions, delivering a confident and connected driving experience both on the street and the track.

The new vehicle architecture also supports faster software updates, meaning BMW M models will continue to evolve with performance and technology enhancements.

Fast Charging and Everyday Usability

Performance electric vehicles need to work just as well in daily life. The BMW M Neue Klasse delivers this with advanced 800-volt charging technology and a high-capacity battery designed for both road and track use.

Drivers can expect fast charging, strong range, and efficient energy recovery while driving. The battery is also integrated into the vehicle structure, improving stiffness and overall handling.

Lightweight Innovation with Sustainability in Mind

For the first time, BMW M will introduce natural fibre materials into its high-performance vehicles. Developed through years of motorsport testing, these materials offer strength comparable to carbon fibre while reducing environmental impact.

It's a forward-thinking approach that aligns performance with sustainability without sacrificing quality or durability.

The Future of BMW M Starts Here

The BMW M Neue Klasse is more than just an electric vehicle. It represents the future of BMW performance where innovation, emotion, and driving excitement come together.

As BMW continues to push the boundaries of electric mobility, BMW Toronto looks forward to welcoming this new generation of M vehicles and sharing what’s next with our community.
