That's more carwow clickbait.

Spoiler Alert: The vast majority of the video is spent comparing the i4 M50 to the M3/M4. There is no promise of an i4M, and he heaps speculation on top of speculation to arrive at the possible existence of one.

An i4M, if not by that name then by a similar one, is a safe bet eventually. But there's no guarantee, nor any evidence, that such a product is planned for this generation.

I'm quite sure that we have official confirmation that a prober M version is on the way? Wasn't it said in one of the live streams when the i4 was revealed. I may be wrong...

I think the i4 m50 is what was considered the i4m at that time.

But full blown M version "i4M" makes sense. Especially considering there is no M4 GC so this would fill that spot.

Needs to be 0-60 in under 3 seconds and I am sure price will be around $90,000

This is the electric car I am waiting for, will stick to my X3M Until that time.

What are the chances that the i4 will have underrated HP like BMW gasoline engines? With ICE engines perhaps they are rated for unfavorable DA conditions and the worst quality fuel? With an electric motor they could rate it at 50% SOC, and not use the 1ft roll out? My i3s BEV with 100% SOC beats BMWs claim of 6.8 sec by over .50 sec, with no roll out! With roll out it has hit 5.98 sec.
