BMW i4 M50

The BMW i4 M50 reaches 60 mph in 3.36 s (100 km/h in 3.56 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.81 s, tripping the lights at 116.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.81 s and the eighth mile in 7.56 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.53 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the i4 M50

The 2021 BMW i4 M50 is an all-wheel-drive electric car of 2,290 kg with 536 bhp, which works out at 234 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 1.81 s, and the question for an electric car is usually not the launch but whether it keeps pulling: it trips the quarter-mile lights at 116.6 mph. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 513th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 23rd quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 116.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the BMW i4 M50 0-60 time?
The BMW i4 M50 reaches 60 mph in 3.36 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 513th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW i4 M50 quarter mile time?
11.81 s at 116.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.56 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.81 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW i4 M50 have?
536 bhp and 2,290 kg, which is 234 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, electric, with 1 gears and a quoted top speed of 225 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW i4 M50?
Closest here on pace: Tesla Model 3 Performance (3.30 s), Porsche Panamera GTS MK III (3.47 s), Porsche Panamera Turbo S Mk I (3.41 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW i4 M50 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The BMW i4 M50 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
