The new electric BMW i4 provides M4-like performance

The i4 M50 has M4-like performance and a 510km range.Picture: SUPPLIED.

However, BMW SA’s latest battery-powered cars bring electric motoring into the affordability realms of more buyers, if not quite the mass market, with the i4 priced at R1.6m and the iX3 at R1.29m. The i4 is impressively quick, delivering instant and step-free power at the touch of the throttle. It also has a smooth ride combined with nimble and pinned-down handling. A centre of gravity 53mm lower than the BMW 3 Series sedan, even weight distribution and a torsionally stiff body provide the recipe for sporting ability and great long-distance comfort.

Under the i4's electronic tailgate is a generous 470-litre boot that expands to 1,290 litres with the rear seats flipped down. The car is also able to tow a 1,600kg trailer load.
