Currently, the BMW i4 M50 is the company’s only battery EV model to wear the vaunted tri-colour M badge. However, the i4 M50 is not a genuine M car in the way a M3 is. There are several levels of hierarchy within BMW M GmbH and cars like the i4 M50 are analogous to the M340i, and they sit one rung below core M models like the M3, M4, or M5.

Back in early 2020, The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe was launched in Thailand with only one variant – the fully-imported 218i M Sport.

CLA45 vs C43 Both are priced rather closely to one another because the Mercedes-AMG C43 is locally assembled, while the Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S is full

As much as enthusiasts such as myself lament the inevitable demise of manual transmissions (MT), there is simply no business case for manufacturers to continue offering a manual option.
