The roofline flows elegantly to the rear, harmonizing with the rear spoiler to complete the graceful coupe-like silhouette characteristic of BMW SACs. The 19-inch double-spoke wheels and M-specific side skirts enhance its dynamic appeal.

The vehicle boasts a BMW Curved Display, integrating a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster with a 10.7-inch control display. The dashboard’s design elements, new two-tone Veganza sport seats, and M sport leather steering wheel emphasize a sporty driving experience. Standard amenities include a BMW head-up display, wireless charging tray, and Harman Kardon sound system.

BMW’s latest fifth-generation electric powertrain delivers both powerful performance and high efficiency. The front-mounted single electric motor produces 204 horsepower and 188 lb-ft of torque, propelling the vehicle from 0 to 60 mph in 8.6 seconds.
