EV vs ICE drag races don’t get much better than this! Mat’s lining up in his long-term BMW M3 Competition, and alongside him we have BMW’s all-new electric performance saloon, the i4 M50!

Now the i4 may not be a fully-fledged M car, but it still packs a pump, delivering 544hp & 794Nm of torque from its two electric motors. What’s more, it’s also equipped with four-wheel drive! In contrast, the M3 seems down on power, with its 3-litre straight-six putting down 510hp & 650Nm.

What’s more, it’s only delivering its power through the rear wheels! However, the M3 has one key advantage over the i4 – it weighs 1730kg, whereas the i4 tips the scales at 2,215kg! What do you think, will the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
