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.

All the tech, all the speed

I really didn't know what to expect from this car, especially based on major publication reviews that tend to be a bit stuffy. First of all, it's a rocket! You don't even need to be in Sport mode to take off like a fast roller-coaster ride. It's almost scary and a whole lot of fun! Beyond that, it's got lots of great tech packed into a familiar BMW interior. The Harmon-Kardon sound system is nicely balanced, and the little touches like customizable ambient lighting colors demonstrates the fine-detail care that BMW puts into their design. There are a few small things that I would like to see done differently: the glove box is not as good as the one in my 2015 4 series. It's not as deep and I really can't store much in it. Secondly, this particular car did not come with a driver's side glove box, which I really liked on the old car as well. Couple this with reduced trunk space and no front trunk, and this car really does not have enough storage. Again, these are minor complaints and didn't change my 5-star rating. All in all, this is a fantastic car!

Love the car

I've had the car for 2 weeks now and have put about 500 miles on it. Initially I had a heard time with setting up the BMW ID, the Digital Key and signing up for the free Electrify America charging. However, the car itself is fabulous and drives better than any car that I have ever driven and I have owned several BMW's, Mercedes and Audi's in the past as well as American and Japanese cars. I am still learning all the features, but this car is worth every penny and more.
