BMW i3 M60 Walkaround: What Sets It Apart From The i3 50 xDrive

The BMW i3 M60 xDrive is the new top of the electric 3 Series lineup, sitting above the i3 50 xDrive and below the upcoming all-electric M3. We got a close look at it in France, finished in BMW's new matte Frozen Ocean Wave Blue.

The M60 gets its own front end with the M Sport Pro package, an M-specific light graphic, and M Yellow Lights. Standard 21-inch M Aero wheels, red M Sport brake calipers, blacked-out taillights, a new flatter roundel, and a more aggressive diffuser round out the exterior. The car was locked, but through the glass you can see the M steering wheel with its red 12 o'clock marker and the M Sport seats.

What we know so far (figures are provisional):
- Expected 603 hp (US) and 875 Nm (645 lb-ft), about 140 hp more than the i3 50 xDrive
- 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in around 3.9 seconds (expected)
- 108.7-kWh battery, shared with the iX3 M60 and iX4 M60
- Up to 830 km (516 miles) WLTP, versus 912 km (567 miles) for the i3 50 xDrive. No EPA rating yet.
- 400-kW DC charging: about 340 km (211 miles) in 10 minutes, 10-80 percent in 21 minutes
- Adaptive suspension, variable sport steering, and rear differential standard

Pricing hasn't been announced. The i3 50 xDrive starts at $61,500 before destination in the US, and M60 pricing should follow early next year.
