BMW has unveiled a new range-topping M60 xDrive performance variant of the iX3 electric SUV, which gains a power hike and a host of M upgrades – plus a range of around 470 miles.

 

Available on the iX3 and the new iX4 SUV-coupé, the dual-motor, four-wheel-drive M60 powertrain produces 604bhp and 645lb ft of torque – up from the 462bhp and 476lb ft in the 50 xDrive.

 

This performance boost results in a 0-62mph time of 3.9sec, which is a full second quicker than the 50 xDrive, and its top speed is raised to 149mph.
