The i4 M50 is the performance flagship of BMW's G26 i4 lineup and the first battery-electric car to wear an M badge. Two electrically-excited synchronous motors — a 190 kW unit up front and a 230 kW unit at the rear — combine for 536 hp and 586 lb-ft of all-wheel-drive thrust, drawing on an 83.9 kWh (81.5 kWh usable) battery good for an EPA-rated 267 miles. BMW quotes 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds; in instrumented testing Car and Driver clocked 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds, quicker than a contemporary M3 Competition despite the i4's near-5,100-pound mass. It pairs that pace with a 0.97 g skidpad figure and a hushed, comfortable Gran Coupe body, trading sound and steering feel for everyday usability.
