Both get Neue Klasse design and iDrive X. Neither gets a clutch pedal. The G84 will almost certainly be xDrive-only.

Production is rumored to start in Munich in March 2027, and what\u2019s underneath the skin is unlike anything BMW M has offered before.<\/p>\n<p>The drivetrain uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2026\/01\/13\/2027-bmw-m3-electric-four-motors\/\">four independent electric motors<\/a> \u2014 one per wheel \u2014 organized into two BMW M eDrive units, one per axle, each driving through its own gearbox. There are no mechanical differentials. Torque vectoring is entirely software-controlled, with BMW M promising the car will feel \u201cpredictable and controllable\u201d in the same way the best M3s always have been. Mechanical differentials respond to physics; software-controlled systems respond to algorithms. Whether BMW\u2019s engineers can close that gap through code is the central question hanging over the ZA0.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/bmw-m3-electric-details-05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-509709\" title=\"BMW M3 ELECTRIC DETAILS 05\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/bmw-m3-electric-details-05-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M3 ELECTRIC motor\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/bmw-m3-electric-details-05-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/bmw-m3-electric-details-05-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/bmw-m3-electric-details-05-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/bmw-m3-electric-details-05-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/bmw-m3-electric-details-05.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Power sits in the 800-900 hp range, according to sources. That would make it the most powerful BMW M production car ever built, clearing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/04\/11\/2024-bmw-xm-label-red\/\">738-hp XM Label Red<\/a> with room to spare. Torque delivery is instant across the entire range, which means 0-60 times well into the 2-second bracket are plausible, though BMW hasn\u2019t confirmed figures yet. The battery is a dedicated pack exceeding 100 kWh net capacity \u2014 not the standard Neue Klasse unit \u2014 with 800-volt architecture supporting over 400 kW DC charging.<\/p>\n<p>All-wheel drive is standard, but the front motors can be decoupled entirely for a rear-wheel-drive mode. Given that one of the defining pleasures of every M3 has been its ability to rotate on throttle, that feature will matter a lot to buyers who\u2019d otherwise feel like they\u2019re getting something different in disguise.<\/p>\n<h2>The G84: The Combustion M3s Lives On<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2028-bmw-m3-g84-spy-photos-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-510003\" title=\"2028 BMW M3 G84 SPY PHOTOS 01\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2028-bmw-m3-g84-spy-photos-01-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2028 BMW M3 G84 showing quad pipes\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2028-bmw-m3-g84-spy-photos-01-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2028-bmw-m3-g84-spy-photos-01-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2028-bmw-m3-g84-spy-photos-01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2028-bmw-m3-g84-spy-photos-01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2028-bmw-m3-g84-spy-photos-01.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>BMW M CEO Frank van Meel has confirmed the gas M3 is coming. It carries the internal code G84, rides on the existing CLAR architecture, and rumors say it enters production in Dingolfing in July 2028 \u2014 about a year after the ZA0.<\/p>\n<p>The powertrain is where things get interesting, and not entirely in the way enthusiasts were hoping. BMW describes it as \u201ca new type of six-cylinder engine.\u201d Sources indicate that means a mild-hybrid version of the S58 \u2014 the same twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter that\u2019s been under the G80 M3\u2019s hood since 2021 \u2014 with a 48-volt electric motor integrated directly into the eight-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n<p>To be clear about what this is and isn\u2019t: a 48V mild hybrid cannot run on electricity alone. It assists the combustion engine during acceleration, sharpens response off the line, reduces turbo lag, and helps the car meet Euro 7 emissions regulations. The eBoost function delivers an additional kick of torque when the driver needs it most. What it doesn\u2019t do is add a plug, a large battery pack, or significant weight. BMW made a deliberate decision to skip the PHEV route \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/05\/26\/bmw-explains-why-m5-hybrid\/\">which the M5 took<\/a> \u2014 specifically because the weight penalty would compromise the M3\u2019s agility. That\u2019s the right call.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2028-bmw-m3-g84-spy-photos-front-end-00.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-509997\" title=\"2028 BMW M3 G84 SPY PHOTOS FRONT END 00\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2028-bmw-m3-g84-spy-photos-front-end-00-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2028 BMW M3 G84 SPY PHOTOS FRONT END 00\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2028-bmw-m3-g84-spy-photos-front-end-00-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2028-bmw-m3-g84-spy-photos-front-end-00-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2028-bmw-m3-g84-spy-photos-front-end-00-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2028-bmw-m3-g84-spy-photos-front-end-00-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2028-bmw-m3-g84-spy-photos-front-end-00.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Expected output starts at around 525 hp in base configuration, matching the G80 Competition. CS and CSL variants will deliver more, though it\u2019s likely too early to assume these projects are even initiated. With 525 hp and a mid-weight package, 0-60 times in the mid-3-second range are realistic \u2014 more if BMW\u2019s launch control and the mild-hybrid torque boost do what they\u2019re supposed to.<\/p>\n<p>What you won\u2019t get with the G84: a six-speed manual. Sources are consistent on this. The automatic-only format applies to both M3 variants, and the days of a rear-wheel-drive manual M3 are over once the G80 stops production sometimes in 2027-2028. If that combination matters to you, start checking used inventory now.<\/p>\n<h2>Design: Neue Klasse With Different Proportions<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BMW-M3-electric-ZA0-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-510719\" title=\"BMW M3 ELECTRIC ZA0 2\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BMW-M3-electric-ZA0-2-830x741.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M3 ELECTRIC ZA0 side view\" width=\"830\" height=\"741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BMW-M3-electric-ZA0-2-830x741.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BMW-M3-electric-ZA0-2-1147x1024.jpg 1147w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BMW-M3-electric-ZA0-2-768x686.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BMW-M3-electric-ZA0-2-1536x1371.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BMW-M3-electric-ZA0-2.jpg 1769w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/05\/03\/bmw-confirms-gas-electric-m3-look-same\/\">BMW design chief Adrian van Hooydonk confirmed both the ZA0 and G84<\/a> will share \u201cthe same design and digital features\u201d \u2014 Neue Klasse language across the board.

Because the ZA0 has no engine to accommodate, it gets a shorter front overhang. The G84 keeps the longer nose, and frankly \u2014 based on the spy shots we\u2019ve seen \u2014 the proportions suit the car better. The ICE car\u2019s silhouette reads more like a classic sports sedan. The ZA0 reads more like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2026\/03\/18\/2026-bmw-i3-reveal-electric-sedan\/\">Neue Klasse sedans it\u2019s related to<\/a>, which is the point, but it does change how the car sits on the road visually.<\/p>\n<p>Both use widened fenders over the standard 3 Series, the same M-specific stance and braking hardware, and \u2014 according to recent information \u2014 a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/06\/17\/bmw-use-natural-fiber-composites-production-cars\/\">natural fiber composite roof<\/a> as standard, with a panoramic sunroof as an option. That\u2019s a departure from the G80, where the carbon fiber roof was an optional extra. Here, you get the lightweight composite by default. The weight saving helps, particularly on the ZA0, which is expected to exceed 2,000 kilograms even in its lighter sedan form.<\/p>\n<h2>Inside: iDrive X across both cars<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-bmw-i3-design-sketches-16.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-511633\" title=\"2026 BMW I3 DESIGN SKETCHES 16\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-bmw-i3-design-sketches-16-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"2026 BMW I3 DESIGN SKETCHES 16\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-bmw-i3-design-sketches-16-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-bmw-i3-design-sketches-16-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-bmw-i3-design-sketches-16-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-bmw-i3-design-sketches-16-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-bmw-i3-design-sketches-16.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Both the ZA0 and G84 get BMW\u2019s full Neue Klasse interior treatment.

It\u2019s a significant interior step forward from the current generation\u2019s curved display, and early prototype spy shots show the ZA0\u2019s cabin well along in development with M-specific seats and a sport steering wheel.<\/p>\n<p>The G84, arriving a year later on the CLAR platform, will reportedly match the same interior specification. Once again, BMW hinted that all future cars share \u201cthe same design and digital features\u201d \u2014 which means no version of the next M3 keeps the current interior layout.

The ZA0 is a statement about where high-performance sedans are going: massive power, software-controlled dynamics, weight north of 2,000 kg, and a driving experience defined by instant torque and algorithmic precision. It will be fast. It may even be thrilling. Whether it satisfies M3 loyalists is a different question.<\/p>\n<p>The G84 is the more conservative answer \u2014 a car that keeps the inline-six, accepts the mild-hybrid addition as a necessary concession to regulations, and delivers something in the neighborhood of 525 hp without a clutch pedal or rear-wheel-drive option.
