Video Summary
The BMW i4 M50 is the first all-electric car worked on by BMW’s M division.It has a claimed range of 500 kilometers.
Driving at top speeds on the Autobahn significantly reduces the range.
The car accelerates from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds, matching the BMW M3.
Performance reduces slowly as battery power goes below 90%.
The top speed is limited to 225 kilometers an hour.
It is quieter than an internal combustion engine car at Autobahn speeds; rain hitting the windscreen becomes noticeable.
It does not have a flat floor, and there is an intrusion for a prop shaft in the rear.
The boot has a large hatch opening and a capacity of 470 liters.
A low battery charge of around 37% impacted launch control performance.
The i4 has a similar feel to a normal 4-series with upgraded quality.
Front visibility is reduced due to a high, long bonnet.
It is quick off the mark, but handling agility is less than a petrol M car.
The i4 M50 needs 39 hours for a full charge using a basic 7-kilowatt wall charger.
It is recommended for a short-list.
