Class comparison

Among 66 liftbacks, BMW i4 M50 2021 leans toward quicker launches and shorter range. 0–100 km/h is quicker than the class median; 3.9 s vs 5.5 s; 1.6 s quicker, -29%. WLTP range is below the class median; 414 km vs 527 km; 113 km lower, -21%. Official energy use is higher than the class median; 20.3 kWh/100 km vs 17.1 kWh/100 km; 3.2 kWh/100 km higher, +19%. A strong match for quicker acceleration, with shorter legs between charges as the main trade-off.

Real Range

City - Mild Weather	545 km
City - Cold Weather	368 km
Highway - Mild Weather	349 km
Highway - Cold Weather	269 km

Real range estimates The values shown here are estimates calculated by BEV-Database using WLTP data and the usable battery capacity of the car. Mild weather represents driving in roughly +20 +25 C without heavy use of climate control, while Cold weather reflects winter conditions with cabin heating. Highway assumes steady cruising at about 110 km/h. These figures are not official test results. Real-world range will vary depending on speed, temperature, traffic, road profile, payload, tyres and driving style.
