BMW i4 M50 vs Tesla Model 3 Performance | 0-100 | 0-200 | Acceleration | Top Speed

I test drove the M50. I have a 300hp hybrid BMW. It was totally insane. Even scary for someone like me who drives very agressively, but have never tried a full electric performance car. It was almost too much.

I just drove one this past Thursday,...and for me, I won't say it's was too much,...but it was very well an eye-opening event! Now, on another note, I think it will be a handful for some that aren't use to Very High Performance cars! The i4 M50 snaps necks! I suspect the M340 version will soon follow the i4 M50 GC.

[@MrBazsi888]

two different cars, but bmw is a more fun car in the lane - tesla in the cornering. but my brain tells me to buy the edrive40 i4 with small rims to maximize range & value.

[@addictedtopussy69]

lmao. You can tell the BMW's car computer so slow it can't even keep the speedometer updated fast enough and has to skip numbers. That gave me a chuckle. BMW lovers will make excuses all day long how their car is better than everyone else in some way or another.

[@ESUNintel]

Both are awesome and more than what most need in an everyday driver. Credit to Tesla for inspiring others to join the electric car revolution, and hats off to BMW for effectively transitioning into the new tech without sacrificing their brand image and heritage. …the grill - eh, that’s a different story 🙂

İ4 m50 2 times of model 3 price u should compare model S instead of model 3 :)

[@Maarten_vd]

Now lets compare the new 2022 Tesla Model 3 performance, without a passenger, with higher SOC than 50%.. LOL. That said, its obvious the I4 systems allow more power about the 120KM/h where the Tesla seems power limiteded. It quite remarkable that the topspeed of the Tesla is so much higher... 2 inconsistent things if you ask me. also: The numbers of the Tesla are based on specialized timing gear (and not the speedometer) where on the left, speedometer speeds are used? Lets wait for a proper dragrace :)

[@johnny2156]

you have a video from CARWOW

[@ChristopherBennett81]

Also looks like left is AutotopNl which is specialist timing gear and 100-200 time is 8.64 vs Tesla 11

[@NRG1985]

The i4 powertrain (specifically the motors) is designed to deliver a relatively flat power curve till maximum speed (like Tesla Plaid), model 3 performance powertrain shows the maximum peak power around 90km/h than power reduces as the speed increase. This explains why 100-200 acceleration is better for bmw. Bmw use a different motor technology which has some advantages as regards the torque/power curves at high speed. The dyno curves can be found in internet. Regarding the top speed, the advertised peak power ratings (i.e. short time operations, we are talking for time from 10 to 60s, in the bmw the blue bar that is getting smaller as seconds pass is exactly there for this reason) does not dictated the top speed. The ICE approach cannot be extended to a EV. Top speed in EV is defined and governed based on: - maximum motor speed, which is mainly a mechanical limit (to remember: there is no multiple speed gearbox like in a ICE) - continuous power / longer time duty power at high rpm, otherwise I cannot sustain the top speed, the powertrain overheats. - sometimes marketing: differentiation of products that share the same powertrain.

[@Maarten_vd]

@@NRG1985 is the engine uses in the BMW the one that is using brushes again? If so, I can only think they have cut corners to achieve this and that these engines are not build to achieve 1 million miles as the ones in the model 3?

[@NRG1985]

@@Maarten_vd yes, they are AC motors so called electrically excited (or wound rotor or wound field) synchronous motors therefore they normally need brushes, but such brushes are not stressed like those in a classic DC motor. Not only BMW, all Renault EVs (excluding Twizy) has such kind of motor since the first of their model, and from the next Gen they will switch to an inductive system, therefore will be brushless. I think up to 300000-500000km should be possible before replacement of the brushes (16000h). BMW decision is kind of atypical since they switched from permanent magnet synchronous machines to this one while Tesla switched to PM synchronous machines (from induction motor) . I think BMW decion was based, together with some torque/power advantages at high speed range (also in terms of efficiency, which can be superior in this scenario) and no drag torque, also tonsome strategic and environmental reasons behind due to the fact that you rid off of magnets and rare earth.

[@lnmsearch]

This is an old (2019) model 3 performance and test conditions are not equivalent. My 2021 TM3 perf is doing 0-100 in 3.3 quite easily! Bmw has a boost system only available for 10s. This system, like any Launch Control, is a marketing system to artificially boost performances.

[@number1Schumacherfan]

How is it artificial if it improves the performance on usage? May want to rethink that one

[@lnmsearch]

@@number1Schumacherfan like “Launch control” you have boosted performances on specific conditions which is not real life usage. For the i4 it is 10s boost only. In real life is not possible to continuously activate the boost. Launch control is the same. You can only use it after a full acceleration & brake release sequence to have the full claimed 0-60 time. Otherwise your have to add between 0.4 and 0.8 s on the 0-60 time claimed by the vendor. On the paper it is better for vendor to indicate the 0-60 time with Launch control even if you will never use it. The Tesla M3 is not using any boost or Launch control.

[@ms3ben]

Ive owned the tesla 3 performance since 2019. After 3 years I still consistently get a 3.3 0-60 with a decent charge. Not sure about the SOC's in this vid, as that is a factor that affects acceleration. The m50 seems to be the nicer car overall for sure and has more top-end acceleration, which the tesla seems to lack on the highway imo. The Tesla has superior, handling and tossabilty in the twisties. The Tesla 3PD (500lbs less) is nowhere near as heavy as the bmw, even the larger S Plaid lighter.

[@pyramusk3264]

Sure. But the worst interior in the world. It's a driving ipad.

[@G82Watts]

The tesla has no HUD or gauge clusters. No luxury. Looks like basic traffic. And is slower then the i4. End of story

[@nickolassnielsen]

It is necessary to compare on the same road stretch, and under the same conditions. Same with SOC. I have many times made 3.5-3.55 sec 0-100 without roll out. in my model 3 performance from 2019. But of course the BMW is faster after 140 km / h ..

Can you tell me where you're getting the information that the final drive gear would allow it to go 165 but it's electronically limited because I don't understand why they would limit it that low. If it is possible to go 165 without hitting an RPM limit on the emotor . I think maybe you're getting confused with a no load RPM of the motor versus a loaded RPM because at top RPM there is always a lot of back EMF .
