Both engines connect exclusively to an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and manual mode.

The rear-wheel-drive M3 receives power from a 3.0L twin-turbocharged 6-cylinder engine delivering 473 horsepower with the 6-speed manual transmission and 503 horsepower with the 8-speed automatic. The 330e hybrid combines a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with an electric motor for a total system output of 288 horsepower and offers an electric driving range contributing to a total range of 290 miles.
