BMW is already one of the most environmentally responsible companies, but it is about to seize the lead.
The planet is undergoing a rapid transformation. Additionally, for a company to legitimately be considered a market leader, it is necessary to continually predict how the market will develop and to have a long term view.
The automotive sector is a fertile field for technology innovations that revolutionize transportation, safety, and connectivity. It is also one of the most innovative industries in the world.
Now, these are all fields in which BMW has traditionally held a dominant position.
And now, BMW takes things one step further by inventing something for its automobiles. And the entire automotive sector is taken aback by this news.

BMW's M performance division is celebrating its 50th anniversary. And now, the carmaker is looking ahead to what the future holds for the performance of electric vehicles.
This month, BMW announced that it is in the process of creating and testing a new four-wheel drive system called M xDrive.
It will utilize a modified BMW i4 M50 four-door coupe as the test bed and will be equipped with four electric motors, one for each wheel.
Now, because of their small size, electric motors are ideal for setups with two motors. And each wheel will have its own, as is typical of high-end and high-performance electric vehicles.
Three-motor configurations are not as common, but they are available on select iterations of the Audi E Tron, GMC Hummer EV, and Tesla Model S.
Even more baffling is that Ford manufactured a Mustang Mach-E 1400 with seven motors, explicitly designed for gymkhana competition.
However, what makes BMW's four-motor system notable is not just the fact that it ups the ante in terms of the number of motors but also the fact that it all fits inside of a sedan.
Now, the i4 M50 chassis is typically outfitted with a pair of motors. So, to accommodate twice as many electric motors, BMW redesigned the body to feature wider wheel arches.
This will be compatible with the high-performance front, and rear axles manufactured explicitly for this use.
Both the front suspension and the EV's cooling hardware are modified versions of the originals seen in BMW M3/M4 models.
Now, BMW has not disclosed any information regarding the motors' individual specifications. However, the two motors in the basic i4 M50 produce a total of 536 horsepower, most of which goes to the rear wheels.
And because of this, we can assume that the prototype carries more than that, although most likely not twice as much.
In addition, control is the key advantage that comes with the recently introduced system.
The conditions of the road, the position of the pedals, the steering angle, and other data are all read by a central control unit.
It can transfer exactly the proper amount of torque "through a multi-plate clutch and differentials to the four motors." And then onward to each contact patch with accurate variability to the millisecond.
And that peculiar part involving the clutches and differentials comes near the end.
Now, you might think that eliminating the requirement for such hardware would be as simple as assigning a motor to each wheel individually.
But, to better understand how they are being used, we will have to wait until BMW releases some additional information.
Now, the typical driving qualities of BMW M vehicles have been elevated to the next level.
BMW has already examined and evaluated this method of controlling vehicle dynamics and drive using virtual models and test benches.
Road testing, however, will provide a truly realistic application of the technology and software built for this reason.
The company has also confirmed the brand's signature qualities will be carried over into BMW M's upcoming high-performance cars.
A "linear build-up of drive power and lateral dynamics that permits manageable handling right up to the limits" is what you can expect from this. However, the early indications suggest they will elevate such qualities to an entirely new level.
