Hmm, I must say, there is a lot I like about it tech wise! And as I was thinking,...I knew the M Performance version would be the model to want from a 'Styling' standpoint! Lets face it folks,...BMW is bringing about change to its model line-up,...and like it,...hate it,...or luv it! It's here to stay!

Now, given my memory of the test drive had in the i4 M50,...and given the more the 100+ more Hp,...this thing is going to feel quite fast from the start! That 100% Torque it off "0" is going to surprise a lot of passengers,...as the drivers takes off from a traffic light! Oh! ...and it's bigger than the previous generation! So, there we have it.

Lastly, I will just say,...at least it still looks like a BMW!

Edit: So, to show the world what was coming from BMW in terms of a pure BEV,...BMW gave the i4 M50 spine-bracing power! Naturally, they needed to keep the range down to ensure those that leaped to the i4 series would look to invest in the 2nd Gen i4,...which will be built on an i4 dedicated chassis,...therefore, being a lot more efficient, etc. I'm thinking some 4-8 years from now,...all BMW BEVs will have a range greater than 300 miles,...and some hitting up to 400 miles! I say this because other manufacturers aren't standing still in the new age of BEVs coming to market,...therefore, BMW too will need to engineer higher range BEVs! ...it's as simple as that!!
