.............................................................
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!

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

When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

I really like that it is a hatchback! The normal limousine trunks are so unpractical. I had a Ford Fiesta MK2 or 3 and a BMW E46 220. In the Ford my bicycle fitted in the car, in the BMW I had to remove the front wheel to fit.
Back end styling is great! I can live with the "diffuser" channels in place of exhaust, that works well. Now give the design team who came up with the rear's design a chance at the front. It can only get better from where it's at now. That buck-tooth rat grill is really holding this car back.

8:15 that bump in the of the floor at the middle seat is used to give the chassis a lot more stiffness, what is very useful when you are designing a BMW. Possibly this a reason BMW did this.

@@casparbremme8012 yes, but Matt was talking about the real world use, and it only managed 185KM using 63% of the charge, you aren’t going to get to 293Miles/471KM with 37% battery left. He meant KM like the guy before said

What a beauty of bmw and that purple colour making it more and more gorgeeous . Nice one mat love your reviews
Excellent! You said I’m sat!!!!
Good review. Also notes the lack of steering feel. In the wet the extra weight (inertia) makes the car more likely to lose traction. Another reason to stick with smaller wheels. Good 2nd generation effort. 3rd generation will surely have a dedicated platform and better driving range.

Hey Mat, great job fisting the M mirrors. It really shows the difference over regular models
Your Jack is a bundle of laughs isn’t he? Great video Matt
The i4's Grille looks better than the one on the 4 Series because the lines arround the grille are different. (If you notice, the black parts around the bottom half of the big grille are sort of hiding half of the size of it 🤔)

Hi Matt, you need to remember the stats in the German car are Kilometers, so 293 kilometers, not miles. Equates to ONLY 183 miles
This color is the best. I am in love. I just LOVE purple, especially this particular variation. More car makers should be using this.

@carwow Would be glad to see Mat's regular review of the i4 eDrive40. After all, eDrive40 is the one which is going to be preferred by most.
For a EV it’s not bad, coming from a Tesla model 3 performance owner I can’t see the value in comparison since the 3P is faster and about 10k cheaper. But I do feel the bmw does look nicer and definitely is more luxurious.

In the UK the M3P with metallic paint (standard on the BMW) is £61,000, so less than £2,000 difference. What would be massively different would be the build quality with the BMW being on a different planet in terms of quality of materials and build quality.

@JOHN BOWATER not sure what your talking about. The panel gap isn’t much different than what I’ve seen from other manufactures, plus Tesla comes out your home to fix any discrepancies you report. as far as interior design goes, it’s subjective but also minimalistic. As for the bmw interior is although good quality, it’s still just a copy n paste from all its other models, they had the opportunity to build this from ground up but decided not to, plus it still has that ugly useless and hideous fake grills.

I'm not sure that the Model 3 buyer is the same as a BMW buyer. The Model 3 has a $35k car interior for a luxury car price (in Performance trim).
Another excellent review Matt. I drive a 330e and want to move to a full electric car so been waiting for a review of this since it was announced. Was leaning towards a Kia EV6 GT but the i4 M50 looks a better option for similar money. Look forward to you putting it up against a Model 3, EV6 GT and Mach-E! EV geeks will love that!
