The M50 we tested hit 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, which is quicker than a rear-drive M3 Competition. The M50 has an electric motor on both axles, which together provide all-wheel drive and produce 536 horsepower and 586 pound-feet. The eDrive40 features a single motor on the rear axle that makes 335 horsepower. The eDrive35 is one of two single-motor rear-drive options, using a 281 horsepower unit. The 2023 i4 feeds electrons to either one or two electric motors, depending on the model. We'd enhance the interior with one of the vernasca leather options, the Premium package (ambient interior lighting, heated seats and steering wheel, lumbar support), and individual options such the adaptive LED headlights, ventilated front seats, Harman Kardon sound system, and wireless charging. We like the look of the optional 20-inch rims and the improved performance of their wider, stickier tires, but they drop the M50's estimated driving range from 270 to 227 miles. Upgraded brakes with blue calipers are also included on the M model. It also has a beautifully tuned suspension that revels in aggressive driving but is calm and comfortable around town. The M-badged model comes standard with a more assertive appearance that includes 19-inch wheels. We prefer the higher-performance M50 over the less expensive–and less powerful–eDrive35 and eDrive40 trims. Although it lacks the steering feedback we prefer in other M cars, it’s an exciting and refined sedan with a supple ride and deeply satisfying sports-sedan handling. When not performing ab-exercising acceleration runs, the i4 is an admirable daily driver. The M50 reaches 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds, 0.2 seconds than an M3 Competition, and it can jump from 50 to 70 mph in just 2.0 seconds-0.7 seconds quicker than the Bimmer. The latter drives like a better-riding M3, which is a mega compliment. That figure drops to 245 miles in the spicy, all-wheel-drive, 536-hp i4 M50.
There are three distinct i4 flavors: The first two use are single motor rear-drive, with the eDrive35 offering 281 horsepower and 260 miles of EPA range, while the eDrive40, produces 335 horsepower with an estimated 300 miles of driving. It offers the style of the 4-series Grand Coupe with a battery powertrain and highly refined road manners. The all-electric BMW i4 sedan is an important piece of BMW’s expanding EV portfolio.
