BMW and DeepDrive are testing a new electric motor with two rotors. This new design is more compact and powerful than traditional electric motors. It could be used in in-wheel motors or a traditional drivetrain.
 
As they say (I read an article regarding your info), let's wait for real-world validation. I will keep my enthusiasm on hold and wait, haha!

BMW and DeepDrive’s dual-rotor electric motor design offers more power and compactness, potentially enhancing in-wheel or traditional drivetrains.
 
I stil ldon't know yet, I think field weakening is more efficient. It's like the motor can spin faster without using more power. This could be good for AWD cars. The Renault Zoe does this, and it seems to work okay.
I was thinking about the same thing. The Renault Zoe is a great example of this working well in practice. But it depends on the type of driving and the vehicle's design. Though, it could be a game change in terms of range.
