The i4 M50 is perfect for those of us that like to drive fast in silence without attracting law enforcement.

My i4 M50 has all the options and with the 20" wheels it will pull a full 1g on an on/off ramp with the sticky Pirellis.
It's lowered on Eibach springs with individual leather.
I actually cross shopped the i4 M50 against an M3 and came out with the i4. The only thing I didn't like is that in the European market it got M sport seats. I recently rectified that.
But BMW for what it's worth is getting good press for it's EV strategy.

The i4 and i5 M version or not are proper BMWs first that just happen to be electric.
The i4 M50 and i5 M60 are about as close as you will get to an M EV.
All I can say is don't knock it till you drive it.
