HERE'S HOW FAR THE BMW I4 M50 (20" WHEELS) WILL GO AT 70-MPH!

EV Channels Review

The BMW i4 M50, equipped with 20-inch M wheels, was subjected to a 70-mph highway range test. Despite an EPA estimate of 227 miles, the vehicle achieved a real-world highway range of 245.4 miles, exceeding the official rating by 18 miles. The reviewer noted that the larger wheels significantly impact the EPA's estimated range, suggesting the car performs better than advertised in this configuration. Conditions were favorable, with a mix of tailwinds and headwinds, and the test was completed just before rain arrived. The reviewer praised the car's comfortable interior, effective climate control even on low settings, and the impressive power delivery even at very low states of charge (down to 1-2%). While not explicitly stated as a con, the reviewer mentioned the seats were not their favorite. The car's ability to utilize nearly its entire battery pack (81.5 kWh usable from 83.9 kWh gross) was highlighted as an interesting strategy. Overall, the i4 M50 is presented as a compelling, comfortable, and surprisingly capable EV, outperforming its highway range estimate.
