BMW has recently announced full details for the U.S. market regarding the latest introductions of the BMW i brand. So, in the ascending order of their prices, fans can welcome the addition of the 2022 i4 eDrive40 and i4 M50, as well as the 2022 BMW iX xDrive50.
The Bavarian carmaker has recently taken the wraps off the sportier version of the i4, which has become the first all-electric M model. Fans of the brand have mixed feelings about it, arguing that it doesn’t really deserve the iconic badges, so let’s examine the EV, and decide if that’s the case.

M50 is how the Bavarian automaker from Munich calls this fellow, and it looks pretty conventional for a high-performance EV to boot. The kidney grilles may not be to everyone’s liking, but all in all, it’s a very nice sedan with four doors, seating for at least four people, and discerning proportions.
The go-faster sibling of the eDrive40 and eDrive35 will be the first to arrive at BMW dealerships in the second half of 2021 as a 2022 model, and it’s a dual-motor affair as standard. The synchronous electric motors drive the front and rear wheels with 523 horsepower (530 PS), the top speed is estimated at 124 miles per hour (200 kilometers per hour), and the acceleration to 62 mph (100 kph) may happen in around 4.0 clicks.
