## Highlights

- 537bhp from two motors in Sport Boost mode
- 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds, 140mph

- DC rapid charging at up to 205kW
- Five seats and a 470-litre boot under a hatchback tailgate

## What is the i4 M50 like to drive?

Quick and composed rather than raw. The extra weight of the battery is obvious in direction changes, and BMW has tuned the chassis around it well enough that the car feels planted instead of heavy. Adaptive suspension is standard on the M50. In Sport mode the synthesised soundtrack is either a novelty or an irritation, and it can be turned off.

## How far does the i4 M50 go on a charge?

BMW quotes up to around 318 miles on WLTP. A realistic motorway figure at 70mph in cold weather is well short of that, as with every electric car. Rapid charging peaks at 205kW, which puts a 10-80% top-up at roughly half an hour on a charger capable of delivering it.

## Is the i4 practical?

More than it looks. The tailgate is a hatchback rather than a saloon bootlid, so the 470-litre boot takes bulky items that a 3 Series would refuse, and the rear seats fold. Rear headroom is tight for anyone over six foot because of the sloping roof. There is no front boot, so cables travel in the back.

## What does it cost to hire an i4 M50?

A refundable £2,500 deposit is held and the excess is £2,500. The allowance is 12,000 miles a year with £1.50 a mile beyond. The car arrives charged and VAT is included throughout.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you hire a BMW i4 M50 in the UK?

Yes, on a sourced basis. It is arranged through a vetted partner rather than supplied from our own fleet, and a specific car and your dates are confirmed before anything is agreed.

### How fast is the BMW i4 M50?

537bhp in Sport Boost, 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 140mph. It is quicker to 62mph than the petrol M440i and considerably quieter doing it.

### Is the i4 M50 a full M car?

No. It is an M Performance model developed by BMW M rather than a full M car like the M3 or M4, so it is tuned for pace and comfort rather than circuit use.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*
