Is EV M Faster Than Real M Power? - BMW i4 M50 Track Review

About the Ruisi Circuit: The Ruisi Circuit is a 1.3-kilometer racetrack located in Beijing, China, known for its emphasis on curves.
About the Leaderboard: We currently have 203 lap time records on our leaderboard. Each lap time has been tested exclusively by our unique driver, the guru, who has exceptional skill adapting to different vehicles and achieving their maximum lap times in a remarkably short period.
About Vehicle Modification and Wear: To ensure the authenticity and objectivity of our channel, most of the test vehicles are provided by our audiences. Consequently, some cars undergo significant modifications, improving lap times, while others might have severe tire wear or be too old, impacting their performance. We disclose these details in the video.
About the Levels of Modification: We classified 4 levels for mods.
- Level 0: Includes factory-standard cars and those with only tire, brake, and "mood" part replacements. As many older cars have discontinued tires and rare brake pads, we allow minor tire upgrades. For example, upgrading from original tires to PS4 for a Civic or from PSS to CUP2C for an M2C is acceptable. However, upgrading a Civic to CUP2C tires counts as a modification.
- Level 1: Light modifications, including tires, wheels, suspension, brakes, intake/exhaust systems, and ECU. Modifications to the engine and gearbox internal structure are not allowed, nor are R-Comp tires. This category is the most common for entry-level modified cars.
- Level 2: Moderate modifications, such as internal engine forging, larger turbos, cylinder expansion, or transplanting non-performance engines. Transmission system modifications, like LSD + larger final drives, are permitted. Thermal-melt tires are allowed.
- Level 3: Race-level modifications. There are no restrictions here. This includes professional race cars, performance engine transplants, sequential gearboxes, and altered suspension structures.
- Level -1: Typically refers to using tires of lower specifications than the original factory standard, such as on an A45, or carrying a passenger (additional weight).

Thank you so much for your support!

Did you compare the driving characteristics with the real wheel drive model eDrive40 as well?

Thanks for your comment! Sadly, we haven't tested the i4 eDrive 40 yet, but we did get our hands on the i3 eDrive35, which might give you some idea. Quick thoughts:
Pros: The i3 eDrive has a really well-balanced chassis, making the driving feel even better than the gas-powered 330i.
Cons: The main downside is the weight. While you can mod a gas 3 Series to zip past the i3 35 both on straights and tracks, it's tough to tackle the weight issue in BMW's electric cars with just mods.
