Rhino at Work wroteI didnt think about. Could be a wider looking car which it might look more aggressive. We?ll seeIf it has the same battery size as the iX3 50, which I assume it will, it'll be interesting to see how much much difference the body shape makes to the range.
TheBingoBalls wroteThose details and design cues change over time, come and go and come back again. I’m sure there’s some new ones and a few throwbacks in there too.No standalone kidney grille is going to be a major bummer. No more BMW-specific identifiers other than the badge on the hood.
Stin6er wroteWhoa! Nearly 500Lb-Ft of torque (@ 475Lb-Ft). I think it will be faster the i4 40i,...but not as fast as the I4 M50 or i4 M60.This is very exciting… been looking at the body design for some time now… now it’s time to see the interior!
JMD wrotePresuming it uses the same motors as the iX3 Xdrive M50, and presuming that the sedan will be a 5% less heavy, it will do 0-62 in 4.6s (compared to 4.9s for the iX3). In most tests the iX3 beats the claims of BMW, so expect 4.4s. This is indeed not i4M50/60 territory but for me would be plenty fast already!Whoa! Nearly 500Lb-Ft of torque (@ 475Lb-Ft).

The i3 M50,..or i3 M60 will be screamers! That said, I'm thinking the iM3 version will either be BMW's fastest car to 60mph/100kph (62mph),...or 2nd fastest behind the current F90/G90 M5s.
