An electric motor of this type will make its series production debut in the BMW iX3. The iX3 will only have one motor, though, rather than three.

I've been asking this for awhile but does that mean the iX3 is two wheel drive only? Because it's DOA if that's the case. |
Most likely one motor at the front (120 to 160kW) and one on the back (150-180kW). It's is much easier to implement AWD with electric motors because the motors are much smaller.
My guess is iX3 will be AWD.
