2022 BMW I4 M50: INSIDEEVS 70 MPH RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

The InsideEVs 70 MPH range test of the 2022 BMW i4 M50 reveals a compelling electric sedan that challenges the Tesla Model 3. Despite its non-bespoke chassis, the i4 M50 delivers an impressive driving experience, offering superior ride comfort, fit, and finish compared to its main competitor. The reviewer highlights its smooth, quiet cabin and balanced handling, noting its performance is on par with the Model 3 Performance, with independent testing showing a quicker 0-60 time. The range test yielded a real-world result of 239 miles, exceeding the combined EPA estimate of 227 miles, though it fell short of the Model 3's highway range. The reviewer expressed a strong desire to test the rear-wheel-drive i4 eDrive40, which has a significantly higher EPA rating, to see if it can achieve its claimed 301 miles. While the i4 M50's charging network advantage is less than Tesla's, its overall package is considered a strong, complete alternative.
