2022 BMW I4 M50 ELECTRIC AWD REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The BMW i4 M50 is presented as a brilliant electric interpretation of the M3, offering a compelling blend of performance and luxury. The reviewer praises its conventional BMW interior design, comfortable seats, and the impressive, albeit optional, Harman Kardon sound system. Performance is highlighted as exceptional, with the dual-motor AWD setup delivering exhilarating acceleration and a dynamic driving experience, especially in Sport mode. The adaptive suspension is noted for its ability to switch between a comfortable ride and a track-ready feel. Practicality is also a strong point, with sufficient range for daily commutes and a reasonable charging time on DC fast chargers. However, the reviewer points out a few drawbacks: the climate controls are buried in menus, there's no front trunk ('frunk'), and the lane-keeping assist can be overly intrusive when not using adaptive cruise control. Despite these minor criticisms, the i4 M50 is lauded as a well-rounded, fun-to-drive electric vehicle that successfully translates BMW's traditional strengths into the EV era.
