Report: The BMW i4 EV Will Be the Most Powerful 4-Series
According to the new Autoweek report, i4 will first come as a dual motor AWD version and and will be powered by an 80-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The dual motor i4 is expected to put down 523 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque. Basically, a direct competitor to the Model 3 Performance. Can't wait to see the official release of this EV!

The i4 M will have about 15 more hp than the M3/M4 Competition, and weigh in the neighborhood of 800 pounds more. So even when just considering straight line performance, the AWD 510hp ICE powered M models will bury it. Put them through some twisties and the differential will be even greater since even the i4 M will not have the G8x chassis setup and tuning. Later, G8x CS and even CSL models will up the power to pass the i4 M launch model. However the i4 might also gain more power over its life, so it could be a bit of a chase game. In any case, the M3 and M4 will remain the highest performing models due to the lower weight and better chassis. |

One thing is for sure, it will win the looks department by a mile over any Tesla. Well except, for the uber cool cyber truck but that’s not really its competitor.

Model S has actually aged extremely well and still looks great. 3, X, and Y tho are meh at best, and BMW will butcher the front end with huge non-functional grills
