My 4th and Best BMW

After owning 3 BMW M sport models starting in 1997, in 2022 I decided to order my first EV,. My 2023 Portimao Blue I4 M50 arrived in February 2023. After driving it for 10 months I rate this the BEST BMW I have owned. With 536 hp it out performs any of my previous BMW’s and has the best road manners. I love my I4 M50

A wonderful car, if you can manage to get one

The BMW i4 has all of the safety and design features I seek, plus BMW's high quality of production. But to get all the safety features requires another $10,000 for the M 50 model -- they are not available as options for the straight i4. Driving the car was a pleasure, but I don't want all the performance features of the M series car: I want the safety ones. BMW has done a good job by its use of mechanical switches and knobs, not screens that take attention away from driving. Cars that are moving toward all digital touch screen displays instead of physical controls are making a serious safety error. BMW has the right mix: large screens to display information, but physical controls where attention to the road is essential. Their heads-up display is well done. But good luck on getting the vehicle. I can't even place the order because there are not enough slots allocated to dealers.

I love my M440i, I4 made it faster but the efficiency of battery/ mileage is inconsistent

a curb will total this car

Charisse, Norwalk, cT, 10/31/2023

It seemed like an amazing car. After having the car for three weeks, I was leaving a drive-through and touched a curb at 5 mph. There was no visible damage to the car. When looking under the car there was a 2 inch gap in the battery casing with no undercarriage damage evident. The insurance company totaled the car as the minimal cost was $28,000 and they couldn't tell if there would be damage found to the battery. The car is too low and the battery too close to each wheel. STAY AWAY

The power is not everything in i4 M50

When you consciously start to enjoy the car, you quickly get the feeling that power is not the main priority. The suspension system captures your attention first, in sync with the reliable steering controls. The seat provides a sense of security around you. Finally, you find the safety in the brakes. The precise execution of the internal components, along with the sleek exterior lines, come together to enhance the pleasure of both driving the i4 M50 ... and owning one.

Get a used 2023 M50 if you can.

I have been considering the jump to an EV for two years now but I wanted an EV sports sedan, not just a regular sedate sedan, or an EUV type vehicle, but something a bit more exhilarating and maybe a touch of luxury too for the $$ so the options in January 2025 are still pretty limited to about two serious contenders in my price range. Tesla Model 3 performance and the i4 M50. The nearest Tesla dealership is over two hours away and the BMW dealership is about a block from my home so that had some influence on my choice. I rode in my friend's Tesla M3P model and was very impressed in its acceleration characteristics but also found its interior nice but kind of spartan. The M50 feels more like a lux sports sedan inside and out than the Tesla. My daily driver is a 2017 Honda Ridgeline with a 280 HP V6 and I love its practicality and utility but hopping into the 536HP BMW M50 is a whole other universe. This sedan is like a rocketship comparatively and it has almost the same curb weight but feels much more planted and sticks like glue in the corners and is like comparing an apple to an orange. The 2025 M50 is almost 80K brand new with all the options that the 2023 model I found with only 13,000 miles on it and parked side by side is almost undistinguishable from the 2025 model. I bought it for 48K which was a little less than market value and the former owner took all that depreciation when he purchased it new and thentraded it in for whatever reason they may have had to do so. For the price I would seriously try and find you one of these with low mileage on the used market as I still enjoy the original warranty and the projected low maintenance associated with EV ownership. The dual motor M50 will deliver sub 4 second acceleration with admirable road hugging handling and seems to have about 250-270 mile range which is a little less than the standard i4 EV but more than adequate for real world usage and with a 240 outlet in the garage I find it charges quickly in just a few hours at home. My Ridgeline at local gas prices goes about 400 miles on about 44$ of gasoline. The M5 does the same for about 11$ worth of electricity. So far, the car delivers the fun and comfort I was looking for from a sports sedan and I think as a used vehicle was a bargain.
