The BMW i4 M50 had a lot to meet the expectations. It had to offer the performance of an M-badged car, the practicality of a 4-Series Gran Coupe, and the smooth, refined experience that BMW EV buyers look for. It was a challenging task, but the i4 M50 successfully delivers on all aspects, making it one of the most satisfying BMWs to drive in recent times. Inspired by the M5, this car is surprisingly practical without compromising on performance. The front and rear seats are spacious, there’s a decent-sized trunk, and the cabin offers the luxurious BMW experience we know and love.

When you press the accelerator, the car feels even more powerful than the M440i, thanks to its dual electric motors that provide a surge of energy capable of lighting up the tires when the traction control is turned off. Whether you’re driving aggressively on winding roads or cruising on the highway, the i4 M50 handles remarkably well. And when it’s time to recharge, its support for 200 kW DC fast charging allows you to get back on the road quickly – assuming you can find a sufficiently powerful charger in the first place.

The only major drawback of the i4 M50 is its limited range, as it can only travel 227 miles between charges, whereas the regular i4 offers up to 301 miles. Aside from that, it excels in almost every aspect, making it an outstanding choice if you can live with the shorter range.
