- The BMW i4 M50 is high performance EV, but is it the ultimate electric driving machine? We drove one for a week while we were in Denver so we got to test it to see if it lived up to the M series name. Overall, we really loved the combination of performance and luxury in the i4 M50. Although the price is a bit steep, there are some great leasing deals.

Would you pick this or a Tesla Model 3 Performance?
Mmmm… neither. I'd pick the Ioniq 5 "N" if I wanted a "performance" EV.
@@Yanquetino We're hoping to try an Ioniq 5 N soon. Right now, we have an Ioniq 5 D100 (Disney).
I4 for sure!
Yes, I would but I have already decided to buy a eTron GT.
@@MachE_VLOG I'll be curious to hear if the Ioniq 5's open front floor is accommodating for Liv!
If true to the BMW heritage, their famous ad slogan should apply: "Happiness is not around the corner: it IS the corner."
My wife drives a Mustang Mach-E First Edition in Grabber Blue and my daughter purchased this 2022 BMW i4 M50 in Brooklyn Grey. I love driving both but the M50 is a beast. It feels so well put together and luxurious. It has that German feel that can't be replicated. I think the best deal is to buy the BMW used as you can find them cheaper than a brand new Tesla Model 3 Performance and this is much better built than the Tesla.
2025 BMW i4 M50 all new steering, headlights :) Gonna wait
Great review guys! I'm 6' and not a small guy and I find the i4 comfy. You can indeed get synthetic seat material. :)
We have both an i4 40eDrive (300mi real range) w/18" wheels as well as a grabber blue MME AWD w/the big battery. Love them both. I consider the i4 a sport sedan and love its RWD. I'd be hard pressed to choose one over the other if I had to choose. And FYI, the 2023 i4 40eDrive came up to ~$52k, much less than a fully loaded M50.
I’ve been following you guys for years, and now you’ve reviewed the model of car that I own. Very cool! Great job.
Intelligent Regeneration on MB EQ works fine on the highway, but not good in the city. In EQ, you cannot set regen in user profile which is a bummer. BWM maybe the same.
The reason rear leg room is small is due to long hood. EVs don’t need long hoods, but in this case frame is shared with a gas model so you are stuck. No power frunk at this price point is awful. Ditch that unnecessary start-stop button.
It's weird how our upgraded wheels only cost us 10 miles of range from 270 to 260…
Watching this on my Sony Bravia in HDR and it looks amazing! Loving the review!
Editing in HDR and processing HDR is a pain, but I love the look!
@MachE_VLOG the CZcams HDR processing takes forever like a day or two. Trying to edit and color correct is the real pain for sure!
Ask any engineer, what shortens life of electronic and they tell you heat ! That very hot display with copious electronics is a red flag.
In terms of size, isn’t the 4-series equivalent to MB C-series?
Pretty much the same size as their 4 series gas sedan. Its a compact 3 with the hatch
Great Review Guys…
No Question I would choose i4!
BTW I own a i4 edrive 40!
It is an Amazingly well built drivers car.
(You get what you pay for 😉)
I appreciate you guys actually spending some time to get to know the car before posting a video.
In addition,
Patrick,
I agree with Liv, this would be a fantastic car to lease or purchase.
My car has been nothing short of phenomenal.
I have owned several BMW’s,
However,
this is my first BMW EV.
Let me know if you guys have questions. around BMW EV’s
You get what you pay for. However this car cost the same as my MEGTPE. I think I would've chosen this one over the Ford. I only ride Bmw motorcycles, why not a BMW car?
Also got the e40 but….it didn’t come with Professional driving assist which now I’m regretting cuz I miss the dynamic cruise control on long journey. Did you get yours equipped with one?
@@verynick
Unfortunately I didn’t on this lease..
However,
I will definitely check that option box on my next purchase.
👍🏼👍🏼
would take Tesla model 3 performance hands down..bmw is so over priced ..I have owned 7 3 series over the years but will never again buy one until they get their act together
I own a traded a model x for an ix and the wife still owns a Y. The BMW is so much better in every way it's not even close build quality, heads up display, seats interior lighting. air suspension cabin noise sound system. etc etc Tesla rides like shit feel every bump in the road. Iuber credits instead of loaner vehicles. Its almost like you've never been in a BMW
Tesla is a total down grade. Not even in the same class. But great if you are on a budget!
