BMW’s upcoming M3 EV will feature a simulated manual transmission mode, mimicking gear shifts through a clutch pedal and shifter—similar to the approach taken by the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. The system, which lacks actual gears, will provide drivers with the tactile feedback of traditional gear changes while maintaining the electric vehicle’s seamless power delivery. This move aligns with a growing trend among performance EVs to blend driving engagement with modern efficiency. The technology could appeal to enthusiasts seeking a sportier feel without compromising electric drivetrain benefits.
