i4 M50 leaked on Instagram?

Hey guys, look what i found on Instagram. It was posted by a official BMW dealer, the picture should be real.
You can see the M specific mirrors and the M badge in the grill, so i think it's the M50 version.
Looks pretty nice to me with the black trim and the rims.

Does this mean that the M50 then is the only M variant or are we to believe another M variant a full fledged M will arrive? Like an proper i4M or whatever it will be called.

Great find! The styling looks to be very similar to the M-Sport package. And yes, the black trim makes it look so much better.

And the rims are really nice.

We don't know yet, but Markus Flasch (head of M GmbH) once said, that the company is working on a full electric M variant.
It's not clear if it will be an i4 M or an other model and when it will be revealed.
In my opinion, the M50 will be the most powerful variant to start with.

Those are full M mirrors however so one "could" speculate

A little too much fake intakes going on, not a fan of seeing that much plastic on the front end. Looks like a matte color as well.

No, only about the future of electric cars and how to increase the marked.

Yea, a typical "EV-dash" or a late Mercedes copy

Let's hope they have integrated the wide screen nicely into the dash.

Production starts in November, we could get them in Norway as early as December. Talk to your sales rep and check what they can do in Denmark

I'm calling that BS. I got the info straight from my sales rep when I went to see the iX. Wait until Tuesday then and ask again.

Not completely the same. The display with the temperature display between the vents from the 4 Series Coupe disappears, as the temperature display and control are now almost completely transferred to the display. Instead, the vents become wider. You can see it in a picture of what BMW once posted. The control bar underneath with seat heating etc. will very likely disappear.

And the control unit for multimedia with buttons 1-8 is converted into buttons for windscreen heating etc.

Edit: You can also see in the pictures of "E91-Norway", that the button for warning flashing moved down. Not the same place as it is in the normal 4 coupe.

I hope there will be an analog control for the temperature as well. And please not with the menu wheel. Without I'm afraid I get crazy because of fingerprinted screens.
