BMW i4 M50 (544hp) | Fast Autobahn Range & Charge⚡️🔋 | by Automann in 4K

[@cristiano1g]

Ordered mine last week after driving with a colleague of mine from my company. This is the best car I've ever driven and I had a lot of German performance cars including Mercedes, BMWs and boring VWs. This M50 is just insane, it's beautiful on the outside and inside, feels like a BMW and there isn't another car that can compete with you. Not on the Autobahn, not at the red right.

[@germancarfan360]

Having been close to a year how are you finding your m50 genuinely?

[@cristiano1g]

@@germancarfan360 best car and also the best BMW I ever had. But as me and my wife are planning to buy a second car we should have gone the following route: I should have picked the normal i4 40 for everyday use and combine it with the M2 for weekends.

[@germancarfan360]

@@cristiano1g I currently have a Panamera 3.0 diesel and a VW Kombi T6 van ( wife's ) ( also a Boxster S in the garage as a toy. My question is, knowing what you know now, would you choose an i40 m sport or the m50? I am ordering on a salary sacrifice scheme through work so all in with insurance, tyres, service pack etc the whole lots, its £0 down and either £511 for a i40 m sport, or £580 for an m50 with 19" wheels in black with cognac interior. Where would your money be? or would you stick with the Panamera? 2014

[@cristiano1g]

@@germancarfan360 I would go the i40 M Sport route just because of the range. It's a huge difference, you have around 110km more and with recuperation probably around 130 km more. That's basically my experience as I can compare with a colleague with an 40 Sport who also uses it as an everyday car. If you order now you get the newer version anyways, which I cannot speak of.

Nice car, I'm still not used to the silence of them from the outside.

[@JulioVillavicencio-ru2sn]

Thanks for posting. I love my 2024 M50 in Portimao blue. Drive it in Sport mode to commute to work and charge at home so don’t care about the range.

[@JustMe99999]

This is the use case for probably 90% of people, but everyone gets obsessed about the range. If you need to take a long road trip, just rent a car?

[@youonlyneedacar]

210km with one charge for a 544hp car is not bad at all. If you drive a BMW M2 with that average speed you will probably not get a lot more distance done. The big difference is still the “fueling” after 😅

[@ERTZZTRE]

The M2 doesn`t take 20 l/100 km for that average speed!😂😂

[@youonlyneedacar]

@@ERTZZTRE That is why I said that you will “probably not get a lot more”

[@Iconocla5t]

@@youonlyneedacar I had the M2 for a couple of months and with fast driving on the Autobahn i had a range of 400-450km. And of course fueling is done in like 2 minutes. You get twice the range and even a bit more.

[@alexandermenck6609]

At these slow speeds an M4 will consume about 8l/100km giving a range of 700km. That’s a lot more.

[@youonlyneedacar]

@@alexandermenck6609 so then BMW is giving the wrong specifications telling the average consumption for the G82 is between 9-11? By the way, to have an average speed of 110kmh you have to drive pretty fast for a long time, so you absolutely won t get a consumption of 8l.

[@user-sf5bt8eb4y]

lets do some calculation. you have done 230km with average speed of 110km/hr = 2hours. To recharge from 10-70% = 25mins, i assume 100% charge is going to take at least 40mins? so for a distance of 230km and recharge, you need 2hrs40mins? this is the future?

I just test drove this. one of the fastest cars I have ever driven.. Still cant get past the artificial nature of an electric car

[@WeRemainFaceless]

I drove one a few months back. Just felt really heavy and cumbersome. Sure it has a lot of power and is great in a straight line, but you can really feel all that extra weight when you get onto some twisty roads. It's not a fun car to drive on back roads, not at all.

[@SOPM2007]

Where is the i4 M60?

[@sefrasus7360]

What is it with these ridiculously oversized wheels these days? The 20" rims massively reduce range. I ordered my M50 with 18" and that is already large for such a car. It's the wheel size of the original Audi A8, go figure.

[@Vincent-bw8vv]

The range is absolutely hilarious

[@petermeister7191]

Wenn man bedenkt, dass bei Ionity der Strom an der Autobahn auch mal 79 Cent kosten kann, sind 29 kWh Verbrauch auf 100 km umgerechnet 23 €. Dafür bekommt man aktuell 12-13 Liter normales 98er Super Plus...also irgendwo ist da die Effizient und Ersparnis für den Endverbraucher auf der Strecke geblieben und das ist einer der Gründe für die fehlende Akzeptanz.. Das Auto an sich fährt sich super und sieht auch wirklich gut aus, vom Sound mal abgesehen...

[@romansenger2322]

Wer zwingt dich bei denen für den Preis zu laden? Bei Enel X Way kostet die kwh 32ct, das ist weniger als ich daheim zahle. Also lass mal die Kirche in Dorf

@@romansenger2322 Das Ladesäulennetz der Enel X Way in Deutschland ist jetzt nicht so ausgebaut, dass man mit seiner Restreichweite immer an eine kommt... also bleib mal realistisch...

[@zap1337]

Es gibt ja auch genügend Möglichkeiten den Ionity-Preis zu reduzieren wenn man wirklich oft DC-lädt. Aber es ist natürlich aufwändiger als beim Benziner. Man muss also Zeit investieren um den passenden Ladetarif zu finden.

[@Bimmer_i4_M50]

Übrigens braucht mein i4 M50 im Schnitt 19kwh / 100 km. Diesen Monat bisher 16,1. Was das genau an Unterhalt bei 0,29 Cent, die die Stadtwerke hier verlangen, heißt darfst du selbst ausrechnen. Du kannst auch gern noch 300€ THG mit rein nehmen, damit fahre ich 2 Monate quasi gratis. Ah jo. Und zum Ölservice und ähnlichem muss ich ebenfalls nicht. Schon richtig teuer so ein E Auto :-)

[@minniesaab7255]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@dblezi]

They did a terrible job with the sound engine as the motor continuously climbs up in RPM. This is trying to sound like it has a real transmission with multiple gears. Should have made just a complete linear sound that mimics motor RPM. This sound wants to be like an ICE.

[@mikedelicus]

It sounds different in real life and follows acoustically the so-called “Shepard Tone” effect. A very clever approach from Hans Zimmer, the famous soundtrack composer. As I said you need experience it in the car.

[@dblezi]

@@mikedelicusI like Hans Zimmer. With that said the sound still has nothing to do with what the unpleasant sounding motors are doing. Motors sound unpleasant in general and only increase in db with each RPM increase. Since most BEVs are single gear more speed means higher RPM. No company has created a real soundtrack that mimics what the physical motors are doing. What Mr. Zimmer created is pleasant however it is fake.

Thanks so much for the realistic test. To be honest, the range is just poor, also considering the driving style, wheater and so on. For me no replacement for the combustion engine

[@Bimmer_i4_M50]

My i4 M50 has an average consumption of 19 kWh / 100 km from factory. Which gives it a typical range of 400 km. When I drive on a Sunday it’s up to 550 km. But yeah. Range bad. Say mostly the people who drive 20-30km per day.

[@mpfrankfurt]

@@Bimmer_i4_M50 i drive 90-110km per day and have only the possibillity to charge over normal power socket at home, with extension. The next super charger is 2km away and I don't want to base my life on the car

[@mikedelicus]

@@mpfrankfurtAt that daily range with a 11 kw Wallbox at home it could be the perfect car for you. I bought one because I appreciate hardly the comfort and silence without missing the acceleration performance.

[@dblezi]

It’s the nature of BEVs. One has to drive them like a virgin to get near advertised range. Which means soft throttle inputs and low speeds. It’s just physics for these giant battery packs on wheels.

[@Chris-hw4mq]

@@laurent___4431 maybe in your your country but in eastern europe most chargers are type 2 22kw, no fast charging. They appear on map problem is you spend 3-4 hours to charge and what if they are full wait another 2, 3 hours for something to get free. Again EVs maybe in 10 years but for now just a joke and a scam

[@BogeyTheBear]

1) Driving fast and hard enough to require both motors turning will eat up range. The i4 M50 can cruise in RWD on one motor if you baby it for range. 2) The big wheels kill range. 3) Rain. Requires AWD to engage more often and impacts rolling resistance, thus decreases range as well. Only thing going for him in this instance is the fact it wasn't wintertime.

[@romansenger2322]

I drove with my M3P a faster average speed (124km/h) at much, much less consumption (20,4kwh/100km). This BMW is a joke compared to that. Wouldnt even think a second to get this brick as a car for heavy usage on the autobahn

Lol, on the other hand, the interior quality and overall material quality of the Tesla is on a Dacia level and the noise level is significantly higher. Couldn't imagine driving in a such a low level quality car.
