BMW iX3 M60 xDrive: 450 kW and 0–100 km/h in 3.9 Seconds

BMW has expanded the iX3 lineup with its most powerful drivetrain yet, the M60 xDrive. The dual-motor electric SUV delivers a combined 450 kW, allowing it to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds—making it the quickest iX3 to date.

The M60 xDrive sits at the top of the iX3 range, which until now has offered less potent configurations. BMW is positioning the variant as the performance flagship of its premium electric SUV family, targeting buyers who want M-level acceleration without moving to a dedicated M model.

According to the manufacturer, order books for the new iX3 M60 xDrive will open at the end of January 2027. The announcement did not include pricing, range estimates, or battery specifications, so those details remain pending ahead of the market launch.

This launch underscores BMW’s continued push to broaden its electric portfolio with high-output variants. By placing a 450 kW drivetrain in the iX3, the company is responding to growing demand for electric SUVs that combine everyday practicality with supercar-rivaling straight-line speed.

Further information on the iX3 M60 xDrive, including its market rollout and technical specifications, is expected to be released closer to the start of order acceptance.
