Meet the new BMW i4 M60, like the old i4 M50, except that it is not. The best -selling car of the M Division for three years in a row performed over the weekend at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Visually, it is almost indistinguishable from its M50 predecessor, apart from the M60 badge in the rear. But under the striking fire, the red color hides more electrical muscles.
This first excursion for the i4 M60 since its debut in the end of May is reminiscent of its additional performance. BMW has divided the dual engine setup into 593 hp or 56 hp more than before. The torque remains unchanged at 795 Nm (586 LB-FT). The previous M50 was already quick, but its replacement shaved two tenths of the sprint of 0-62 miles per hour (100 km/h) and brought it to 3.7 seconds. This is extremely impressive for a non-m car. The top speed remains electronically limited to 225 km/h.
Nevertheless, those who recently bought an i4 M50 processed with i4 M50 can rightly frustrate the arrival of the M60. Why? Because BMW’s life cycle impulse for the Electric 4 Series -Gran Coupé has not touched the hardware of the M -Performance model. There have been only 12 months between the start of the M50 production and its M60 successor who takes over the assembly line.
If you talk for the i4 M60, it is now time to act. We first reported on BMW that he was upgrading his popular Performance eV in December 2024. Now it is officially here and packs the same electric shock as the i5 M60. The show car in Goodwood contained the 19-inch wheels of 859 m, even though they can absorb them up or down. As always, the range and the design of wheel and design have an effect. So select carefully.
How much life remains in the 4 -gran coupé and its electrical siblings, the i4? According to reports, BMW plans to continue production by June 2028, which remains about two and a half years before the order books are completed. With the arrival of an electric 3 Series Limousine next year, the long-term future of the i4 remains unsafe if it has one at all.
