BMW i4 M50 Price Announced for South Africa
BMW i4 M50 Price Announced for South Africa-October 2024
2023-12-14 EST 02:30:26

The BMW i4 M50 is the first electric M car ever produced and the performance stats are impressive. Here’s how much you can expect to pay for this electric sports model.

Could you say the new BMW i4 M50 is the best of the electric i and performance M in one product? Irrespective of the answer, there’s no denying the significance of the BMW i4 M50 being the first electric offering from the M division.

Of course, being a product from the M division it’ll need to have the performance credentials and the numbers don’t disappoint. The two electric motors summon 400 kW and 795 Nm, giving it a claimed 0-100 kph in just 3.9 seconds and atop speed of 225 kph. These numbers are on par with the rear-wheel-drive BMW M3 Competition, which does 0-100 kph in 3.9 seconds, but has a higher top speed and a higher price tag at R1 860 000.

Range is said to be 465-510 km from an 83.9 kWh battery according to the latest BMW SA price listand the vehicle supports fast charging, with BMW claiming just 1.38 hours for 0-80% when plugged into DC. Interestingly, the international press release claims395 km of range, so we’ll be sure to confirm which is the more accurate distance.

The vehicle features all-wheel drive, adaptive M suspension,specially designed anti-roll bars and an additional spring strut tower brace in the front end, along with variable sport steering, M Sport brakes and 19-inch standard M light-alloy wheels. The configurator has yet to go live on BMW SA’s website, but we’d assume there’s the option for larger wheels.

The cabin features both the new curved screen and infotainment system as that in the BMW iX and there are sporty touches dotted around the cabin, like the M Sport steering wheel and sporty seats.
