i4 M50 in 2026 — what's new

There is no 2026-specific change for the BMW i4 M50, so it carries on into 2026 unchanged in Malaysia. The current range is simple: one M50, with an 83.9 kWh battery, dual-motor all-wheel drive, 510 km range and a single-ratio automatic. Its Malaysian role remains the same as when the G26 generation arrived in 2022: an electric M-badged four-door, not a broad trim ladder.

Verdict

The i4 M50 is not the budget play. It costs much more than a Tesla Model 3 and also more than a Mercedes-Benz EQE, while sitting just below the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N and Lotus Emeya. What you get is the strongest i4 formula sold here: dual-motor AWD, 795 Nm, a 3.9-second 0-100 km/h time and 510 km of range. If you want the electric M i4, this is it.
