BMW is one of the largest car manufacturers in the world, its cars generating substantial sales every year, and in 2021 two new special models are expected in the German company's list. More precisely, BMW announced in 2020 that in 2021 they will launch the i4 and iX models for customers around the world, two new electric cars designed to compete with Tesla, Porsche, and the rest of the electric car manufacturers. premium.
BMW hasn't revealed many details in 2020 regarding its plans for the final names of the various i4 and iX models, but a leaker who has provided valid information about the new models in the past now has some new information. According to this leaker, it seems that BMW has chosen the names eDrive35, eDrive 40 and M50 for the versions of the i4 series, and you can see that the idea of an electric vehicle is reinforced not only by adding the letter "i" to the main name, but also by using branding- of the "eDrive".
BMW: Changes Made for the Two New Special Models
BMW would like to use the names xDrive40, xDrive50 and M60 for the iX, its first 100% electric SUV, and you can see that there are great similarities between them, but this was also expected from the company for the new series of cars. Somewhat similar to diesel engines, BMW's differentiation between the names denotes the capacity of the batteries instead of the cylinder capacity, so for the i4 eDrive35 a 60kW battery is expected, and for the iX eDrive40 one of 80 kW.
BMW could also offer the 80 kW battery on the eDrive40 version of the i4, but beyond that it is not known what kind of batteries the German company could use for its new car models. It is not known what power the BMW electric M models will have, but it seems that they will have an electric motor on each axle, and they will be the only ones that will have the xDrive system available.
BMW has big plans with its electric vehicles, so it remains to be seen how many of these impressive novelties will prove to be launched, or even desired by customers.
