2022 BMW i4 Production Start Date, i440 and M50 Model Info
i4 Update: - The SOP of i4 will not be simultaneous with G26 ICE. i4 will start production in November 2021.
- Right now I can see only the RWD i440 (my initial guess of AWD for this model was incorrect) and the i4 M50 xDrive.
- The i440 seems to be pretty pedestrian: you will be able to configure it like a stripped down 420i or something like that, even 17" wheels (though maybe US will have 18" standard).
- The M50 looks like a proper M Performance model, with M bodywork, bigger brakes, adaptive suspension, rear spoiler, 18"-20" wheels, etc. i440 can be equipped with the same as an option.
- Basically, the main difference between the two models is the lack or presence of the front motor.
- In what is likely the biggest disappointment for this item, I can't get power numbers or battery capacities for these models.
- There is one other possible model in the i4 lineup: i435. No production date or specs are known at this time.
