i4 M50 by Kith...For the second time, BMW turned to New York designer Ronnie Fieg's Kith brand with the aim of bringing an exclusive electric car to life. The protagonist of this association is none other than the BMW i4. And more specifically to the M50 sports version. The new BMW i4 M50 by Kith is an interesting limited edition loaded with unique details on the exterior and interior.

Only seven copies will be manufactured and one of them will be auctioned. As for the differences from an i4 M50 that we can currently find in dealerships, the exterior of the new i40 M50 by Kith stands out for its bodywork painted in a dark Kith Vitaly Green tone. It is the first BMW color that bears the name of a brand partner. Black bodywork elements such as the grille and exterior mirror housings help create contrast. Additionally, the BMW insignia was replaced by the Kith name.

Regarding the interior of the new i40 M50 by Kith, we are quickly enveloped by a warm atmosphere and comfortable environment. The color combination helps to bring out the more elegant side of the German tram. Merino leather is the predominant material in the upholstery. Not only was it used on seats and door panels, it can also be found on carpets.

The Kith brand logo is present on the headrests and armrests. The name 'Kith Exclusive Edition' was also engraved on the dashboard to make it clear at all times that this is not a conventional i4.

There is nothing new about the propulsion system. As it is the M50 model, this limited edition i4 is powered by two engines, one on the front axle with 190 kW (258 hp) and the other on the rear axle with 230 kW (313 hp). The total power reaches 400 kW (544 hp) and 795 Nm of maximum torque. By having a motor on each axle, it has xDrive total traction.

The engines are powered by energy stored in an 80.7 kWh (net capacity) lithium-ion battery pack. It is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and reaching a top speed of 225 km/h. It declares a range of 520 kilometers according to the WLTP cycle.

It is also worth mentioning the fact that the i4 M50 by Kith was not presented alone. He shared the scenario with another very interesting project, in which both companies also collaborated. This is the transformation of a 1972 BMW 1602 into an electric car that has a similar exterior appearance.
