The i4 M50 is fantastic. This will be incredible!
Step aside Tesla!

Good, we need more Beta testers

Is this part of BMW's Neue Klasse EV architecture?

I'd guess no if it's in a current 4 series body.

EV Cars will never be as fun to drive as combustion cars saying it now in 2022 and will be saying it 2032 🫡🫡🫡

TruthOne · 12-14-2022, 06:31 PM

Big Front Opening was for the M cars to take in more air right? So why does this still have that? Why not make the front like an M5

I read the specs on that. The article said that the iM2 wasn't an approved program. If you look at the article as long as you sub i4 for all M2 references you get this prototype; 4 motors and 1000hp.

It's all really interesting but how fast do you really need or want to go. The M50 is really about what I think is sane "for me".

The 1000hp cars are fun I guess, but even my tricked out E90 ran out of road before I ran out of car.

When does bmw start design a EV specific body for its EV cars??

Everyone that buys a first generation of any car is essentially a Beta tester. 🤷🏻&zwj;♂️

I bought one. I look for excuses every day to drive it

M-technik-3 · 12-14-2022, 06:52 PM

Not buying an EV until it truly has to be done for fiscal reasons. Even then I plan to keep an ICE around.

TargaM2 · 12-14-2022, 06:53 PM

Meh 🥱
