The BMW i4 M50’s SPORT mode offers a lot of agility along with dynamic suspension settings.

The higher mechanical and thermal loads involved when driving on racing tracks lead to increased wear. This wear is not covered by the warranty. When driving on a racing track, gradually increase the duration of the load.

Before and after driving on a racing track, have the vehicle checked at an authorized Service Partner or another qualified Service Partner or a specialist workshop.

The standard brake pads and the wear indicator are not designed for racing track operation.

Further information and advice can be obtained from an authorized Service Partner or another qualified Service Partner or a specialist workshop.

Official data on power consumption and electric range were determined in accordance with the mandatory measurement procedure and comply with Regulation (EU) 715/2007 valid at the time of type approval. In case of a range, figures in the NEDC take into account differences in the selected wheel and tire size; figures in the WLTP take into account any optional equipment. WLTP values are used for assessing taxes and other vehicle-related charges that are (also) based on CO2 emissions, as well as for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies, if applicable. Where applicable, the NEDC values listed were calculated based on the new WLTP measurement procedure and then converted back to the NEDC measurement procedure for comparability reasons. For newly type-tested vehicles since 01.01.2021, the official data no longer exist according to NEDC, but only according to WLTP. For more information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures, see https://www.bmw.com/wltp.

For further information about the official fuel consumption and the specific CO2 emission of new passenger cars can be taken out of the „handbook of fuel consumption, the CO2 emission and power consumption of new passenger cars“, which is available at all selling points and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
