BMW i4 M50 review - quicker 0-60mph than an M3?

.............................................................

Here it is, the first fully electric car to receive the BMW M division treatment… Introducing the BMW i4 M50!

Mat’s got his hands on this all-new M EV and he’s taking it on a test across Germany to see if it can really go toe-to-toe with some of BMW’s best petrol-powered performance cars.

Want to know the basics? Well for starters, there’s no denying that the i4 looks seriously impressive & can easily match up to the M3 in the style stakes. The interior is equally just as nice, but then again, it’s no surprise given it’s built on the same platform as the M3.

As for performance, well the i4 M50 can once again match up to the M3, delivering a power output of 544hp & 795Nm of torque - both of which are increases compared to its petrol-powered compatriot!

So it can equal both the looks and the performance… But is it really just as fun to drive once you’re out on the open road? Well, there’s only one way to find out… Stick with Mat for his latest in-depth review!

What should we drag race against the new i4 M50?

Honestly the best thing about the looks of this car is that it doesn't shout that it's an EV.

If I hadn't seen the badge at the back, I wouldn't have guessed it was a electric car. Really impressive!

[MrVoayer]

From what I have seen in this video this BMW i4 M50 is an excellent EV ! Modern looking design on the outside, luxurios interior enhanced with some stylish and responsive high tech elements, and performance with not much to be sorry about, save for the battery capacity. All in all this is a top contender in the field !

i really like BMWs and the other German car makers take on the EV transition.
they know they need to start, and they've done it with an existing chassis to quickly get it out there, the familiar styling gives time for their other petrol cars a chance to phase out slowly/gracefully. the new few generation of these German EVs will be exciting.

I love how they just designed as a normal petrol car. All these new electric cars nowadays always look like a spaceship. Good job BMW

One thing I have always enjoyed about Matthews presentations is that, he always dramatic and full of energy. And he is always having fun making me have fun too listing and watching and learning.

I had one for a couple weeks. Agree, it feels SO heavy when pushing it on twisty circuits but the immense power would close whatever time you lost. The sickness is weird too, I felt carsick when I first picked it up - almost like that feeling when you’re a passenger just sat on your phone

You know what? For what price it is, that's not bad!

When he accelerates, I love how quickly the van behind them gets small 😆 7:00

Ordered one and expected in June 2022. Can't wait really can't. Nearly got the polestar 2 but this came out and changed my mind instantly.

0:00 I love how the Audi logo is being reflected from the windows of the BMW 😂

Having the 20 inch alloys actually reduces your range compared to the 19s by about 40 miles.

[MrKal]

185km having used 60% of the battery gives a theoretical range of ~300km, or 186 miles

Maybe Jack needs to be paid more if he's putting up with motion sickness and tatty backpacks 🤣

[Ntrokier]

Forget the car I love that colour... Actually the car looks pretty decent, still not a fan of the new giant kidney grill if I'm honest but I doubt a lot of people are.

[darnedmallard]

i have to say the guy who edits the carwow videos is up to date with the mimz, good job m8
