During the Spring Festival, overseas electric vehicle media conducted a winter high-speed endurance test on the new BMW i4 M50. This BMW i brand of the first M family model, in addition to giving us a great surprise in performance, the endurance can not be underestimated.
Bmw i4 M50 is equipped with bmw group fifth generation eDrive electric drive system, the maximum power of the front motor is 190 kW, the maximum power of the rear motor is 230 kW, the dual motors can provide a maximum power of 400 kW (544 hp) and a peak torque of 795 N·m, and the acceleration of 100 km/h is only 3.9 s. The new car also has its own sport suspension tuning and rear-wheel air suspension.
The BMW i4 M50 is equipped with a high-energy ternary lithium battery with a total energy of 84 kWh (usable energy of 80.7 kWh) with a combined cruising range of about 560 km under the CLTC standard.
From the results, the ambient temperature of the endurance test was 1-2°C, the ground was slightly snowy, and the BMW i4 M50 model tested adopted the Pirelli P Zero winter tires with the first 245/40 R19 and the rear 255/40 R19 specifications.
The high-speed endurance test was carried out according to two groups of speeds of 90km/h and 120km/h, of which the BMW i4 M50 ran a real endurance of 385km under the test of 90km/h and ran a real endurance of 285km under the test of 120km/h.
For comparison, under similar test conditions, the Tesla Model 3 Performance's winter high-speed endurance is 438km and 343km at the same two speeds.
However, compared with the BMW i4 M50, the Model 3 Performance's tires are narrower and the body is lighter, and this gap is also reasonable.
