Except it doesn’t really smoke most M3/4’s on the streets. The manual obviously, and the rear wheel drive variant it can beat on a short burst, but not the xdrive. Most people have xdrive these days unless they were one of the first to the g8x platform back in 2021.
You can clearly find the 0-60 time right in BMW USA’s website (3.4 for the M3/4 xdrive, and 3.7 for the i4 M50. The rear wheel drive is only .1 slower, and that’s going to depend more on the driver. So while the M50 is quick, it’s really not “smoking” any M3/4 besides a bad manual driver.
That said, the i4 M50 is a great car for what it is. Personally I think the new upcoming M3 EV and EV future in general looks promising.
