    Ive had mines for a year. I love it and love picking on the Tesla's. 0-60 real world is around 3.2..1/4 is about 11.5. My only complaint is the steering feeling is numb! You cannot feel the road at times. Handling is great and you dont feel the weight until you hit turns. Overall a great car that I usually see once a month. Compared to a Tesla that everyone is driving in the same exact color. I4 M50 Sunset Orange amazing. And ive had zero issues since ive had the car, coming from the Tesla brand that in itself is amazing.

      Sounds fantastic!
      I was mostly driving it with a bit more ambition and as you say, when you work with it through the bends its great. But I thought it felt good when setteling down, as I said, in that regards it feels like a relaxed long distance cruiser. And I like that it is a bit special, very good looking and nice color options. Thanks for sharing and watching 🙏🙏

      I have a 2021 Tesla Model 3, but the stupid rattles are driving me crazy. Its a nice and fast car but the interior build quality is complete crap. I'm considering getting rid of it later this year, but looking for a comparable replacement. Did you also experience rattles in your Tesla and how does this compare to the Tesla in regards to rattles and overall build quality?

      Same here. Just over a year. Haven't done the launch control yet though. I think some reviewers don't do the launch in sport boost mode, so the times are off.

    @sefrasus7360 Год назад +3

    Props to you for correctly pronouncing "Zimmer". ;) My M50 consistently shows over 400 km range on a full charge, because I have 18" wheels and not the range killing 20" BMW puts on most press cars (whoever decided this must be an oldschool petrolhead). Unselect other factors like the rear spoiler, and the M50 seems to have 9% lower range than an otherwise identical 40, likely because of the aerodynamics package that increases drag and cannot be unselected. I would very much appreciate if the second motor was just another feature without the vintage sports stuff, but at least it's more subtle than Audi RS with a fixed wider wheelbase etc.

    • @whatcarwhattime
      @whatcarwhattime  Год назад +5

      Thanks! Oh, great info and that sounds logical ofcourse. But at the same time, the wheight of this splendid car is a bit over the limit and you need as much traction and drag as you can when beeing enthusiastic with this one. Otherwise I just think the 40 is a better proposition. But I really like this car, proper sportscar..despite the wheight. Congrats to yours and thanks for the inputs and for watching 🙏

    1. It's "M50", not "50M" as you call it at the beginning, right as you look at the "M50" badge.
    2. The longer-range single-motor version is called "eDrive40" or "e40", not "i40".
    3. The i4's grille does not have any "self healing" technology (not technique). That was only the iX's grille.
    This review is full of mistakes that may confused and even mislead interested buyers. You gotta do better than this.
