2022 BMW i4 M50 xDrive Review: Here to Convince the Skeptics
When I first got behind the wheel of the Porsche Taycan a little over a year ago, I was pretty sure I'd found the ultimate driver’s car of the electric segment. Just try to beat that, I thought! Since then, a few other purely electric cars have found their way into my driveway, but none of them have managed to eclipse the performance of Porsche’s splashy entry into the EV sphere. The only possible exception was the Audi RS e-tron GT – which happens to be a very close cousin of the Taycan.
Those familiar with the 3 Series/4 Series lineup won't be too disoriented, as many of the elements of the gas-powered models are found here, for instance the center console, steering wheel, lower portion of the dashboard, the amount of interior space, the seats. Not that this is coincidence - all of these components belong to the CLAR platform, the same one used for a majority of the models in the lineup.
In any case, it's what's inside the screen that counts and the quality of the graphics is noteworthy here.
But I don’t care who you are, it feels good to have this much fun in a sports sedan and not spend $100 or more – much more - on a tank of high-octane gas. Converts who already drive a performance electric vehicle know this. When you get home, all you have to do is plug the car into the Level 2 terminal and the next day the battery is ready for another day on the road.
