The electric BMW i4 gets a new top version. The i4 M50 xDrive is replaced by the even more potent i4 M60 xDrive. That is not the only news regarding BMW’s electric 4-series Gran Coupé.
Until recently, the absolute top version of the BMW i4 was the M50 xDrive. That variant, equipped with two electric motors and 544 hp, is replaced by the M60 xDrive. It also has all-wheel drive, but with a system power of 601 hp, it is 57 hp stronger than the flavor it replaces. The BMW i5 M60 xDrive has the same powertrain. The BMW i4 M60 xDrive completes the 0-100 sprint in 3.7 seconds. That is 0.2 seconds faster than the i4 M50 xDrive.
The BMW i4 M60 xDrive squeezes a range of 542 kilometers from its 81.1 kWh (net) battery. The M50 xDrive reached 522 kilometers. So a little bit of profit here too. The BMW i4 M60 xDrive can be ordered immediately and costs €78,971. This makes it no more expensive or cheaper than the M50 xDrive it replaces.
There is more i4 news under the sun. For example, the i4 eDrive35 and i4 eDrive40 now go 22 kilometers further than before.
