BMW has just unveiled the new i4 M60, a high-performance electric saloon that\u2019s set to turn heads and redefine expectations in the EV market. With a staggering 593bhp, this model outmuscles the petrol-powered M4 CS by a notable 50bhp, making it a compelling choice for those who crave both power and efficiency. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s New in the i4 M60?<\/p>\n

The i4 M60 replaces the previous i4 M50, and it\u2019s not just a minor upgrade. Priced from \u00a370,910, it boasts impressive acceleration, completing the 0-62mph sprint in just 3.7 seconds\u20140.2 seconds quicker than its predecessor. This performance puts it within striking distance of the M4 CS, which is only 0.1 seconds faster to the same mark, all while being around \u00a350,000 cheaper. Talk about value!<\/p>\n

However, with great power comes some trade-offs. While the single-motor i4 eDrive40 can cover an impressive 317 miles on a single charge, the M60\u2019s range is reduced to 269 miles. This is something to consider if you\u2019re planning long trips, but for many, the thrill of the drive may outweigh the need for extended range.<\/p>\n

Enhanced Efficiency Across the Board<\/p>\n

In addition to the M60, BMW has rolled out updates to all versions of the i4 lineup, incorporating new silicon-carbide inverters that enhance energy efficiency. This technology allows for better performance and longer battery life, which is a win-win for electric vehicle enthusiasts. Deliveries for the updated models are set to begin this summer, with prices starting at \u00a351,280 for the i4 eDrive35 and reaching up to \u00a359,375 for the i4 eDrive40.<\/p>\n

A Commitment to Reliability<\/p>\n

One of the standout features of BMW\u2019s latest offerings is their commitment to battery reliability. Starting April 1, 2025, BMW will introduce an eight-year or 100,000-mile warranty for the traction battery in all electric vehicles, whether new or used. This warranty guarantees that any loss of capacity below 70% of the battery\u2019s original capacity will be remedied at no extra cost to the customer. This move not only boosts consumer confidence but also reflects BMW\u2019s dedication to quality and customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Why Choose the i4 M60?<\/p>\n

So, why should you consider the i4 M60? If you\u2019re looking for a blend of exhilarating performance and cutting-edge technology, this electric saloon checks all the boxes. It\u2019s not just about speed; it\u2019s about the entire driving experience. The i4 M60 offers a thrilling ride, advanced tech features, and the peace of mind that comes with a robust warranty.<\/p>\n

The big takeaway? The i4 M60 isn\u2019t just about raw power; it\u2019s about smarter adjustments in the electric vehicle landscape. If you\u2019re in the market for an electric car that doesn\u2019t compromise on performance, this might just be the one for you. Consider taking it for a spin, and you might find yourself captivated by its capabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

New version of electric saloon replaces the i4 M50; can dispatch the 0-62mph sprint in 3.7sec<\/p>\n

\n

BMW has launched a new range-topping M60 version of the i4 electric saloon<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0593bhp \u2013 outpunching the petrol-powered M4 CS<\/a> by a full 50bhp.<\/p>\n

Replacing the 537bhp i4 M50, the i4 M60 is\u00a0priced from \u00a370,910 and can complete the 0-62mph sprint in 3.7sec \u2013\u00a0down 0.2sec on the old car.<\/p>\n

That makes it some \u00a350k cheaper than the blue-blooded M4 CS\u00a0and almost as quick, trailing the super-coup\u00e9 by just 0.1sec to 62mph.<\/p>\n

The power does, however, bring a significant trade-off in terms of range. Whereas the single-motor, 335bhp i4 eDrive40 is capable of driving 317 miles between charges, the i4 M60 is limited to 269<\/p>\n

In addition to rolling out the new range-topper, BMW has updated all versions of the i4 with more energy-efficient silicon-carbide inverters.<\/p>\n
