Heart of Joy and M Dynamic Performance Control

BMW says its Heart of Joy computer and M Dynamic Performance Control coordinate propulsion, braking, steering and energy recuperation in milliseconds. The control system is described as processing up to ten times faster than earlier systems. These are vehicle dynamics functions, not a claim of driverless autonomy.

Range, charging, pricing and launch

BMW's announcement establishes the M60 performance figures, but buyers should verify final local-market range, charging details, equipment, pricing and delivery timing from their national BMW site. Do not assume iX4 M60 specifications apply to the iX3 M60.
