That’s way more than the actual M car

And of course a lot more weight

Echoing the same. Buy 2 M cars and keep one in the garage until it doubles in value.

EVs are definitely fun, but not as fun and dramatic as ICE cars.

No doubt about it! You need to have a ICE M or AMG fix once in a while

More power while reducing the range? Yes, please! Like nobody who drives an EV cares about range, just power. I guess they don't have anything else at this point to offer so...more power

When are we getting Simulated shifts and sounds like the Ionic 5N BMW?? Make it more exciting and emotional to drive!

Just do it. I leased an I4 e40 and its a fun car....still very quick. Although, there is no way in hell I would have it as my ONLY car. Its fine to drive it to work everyday.....but forget about weekends; too much to think about if your prone to traveling or impromptu road trips.

Do you have the information that the range will be reduced?

Well, firstly, if they did increase the range, they would not hide it. Secondly, more power typically results in less range. However, if I'm wrong, I will buy you a drink.

Always need to smile if I hear or read this.


This is Ludacris:





The term is „Ludicrous“

Do you have any examples of BMW advertising the improvements to their existing models more than a year before these improvements become available on the market?

Add up more range, car already has the power pls

EVs are definitely fun, but not as fun and dramatic as ICE cars.

reminds me arguments for manual vs auto, rwd vs awd, and now ice vs EV. It’s a good fight, but looks like we already know who will win performance crown over time.

Untill then I’m fully enjoying my ice car with all the drama .

It really is! And sadly you are right, at the end EV goes further than any ICE out there.

I always love the idea of more power, but the i4 M50 is definitely more than enough in grip, luxury, and acceleration for me. I'd maybe like a higher ride height so I can bomb over speed bumps faster.

Yes, the ix3

“…at the end EV goes further than any ICE out there.”

How does EV “go further” if the range is less? — usually about 300 miles, vs. about 400 miles for most ICE cars.

I’m getting very conflicting advice from different people about whether I should get an EV or an ICE (or a hybrid) for my next car. But so far I thought it was generally acknowledged that an ICE would go further on a full tank (vs. a full charge).

A 46mpg car with an 11 gallon fuel tank (Toyota Yaris) can travel for about 505 miles. This is about 371kWh of energy consumed.

The 112kWh battery of a Lucid Air can travel for about 415 miles, or the equivalent of a 125mpg, 3.3 gallons fuel tank ICE car.
