The i4 M50 xDrive has proper M seats standard. Similar to M4 standard ones, only minor differences in upholstery. You can get these M seats optional (option code 711) to 3 and 4 series models in conjunction with M Sport package.

Not as standard, it's an optional extra. And no choice for Merino leather unfortunately.

New M headlights – is it known whether these will be a different shape, or simply a different light signature inside?
The leaked pics of G87's front bumper suggest different headlight shapes for M cars could now be a thing (G20/G80 difference aside). |

We start to see more and more EV's come to the track and without chargers at the track they rarely do a full day. Having to exit to find a supercharger that is available and losing almost half your sessions gets boring pretty fast. I just don't see EV being viable for track day fun until batteries can go 2k km on a charge and weight nothing so cars can be reasonable weight to be ok on consumables.

Many tracks/events in Florida do not allow EVs, like Sebring

I was thinking the same thing? The only thing I don't get about the bumper leak.

I'd like to see a real performance hybrid, like a M240i or M340i that can do 50-60miles on pure charge for daily commute and rip it at the track on weekend without fear of running out of charge.

W206 C63 is said to have 65km range, so about 40 miles. That is the latest and greatest unreleased tech. Although those figures are estimates, could be more or less pure electric range.

With todays battery tech it becomes a packaging problem when designing hybrid cars(batteries, electric motors, combustion engine, auto trans, and all components that go along with both systems). You can only find room for so many batteries. Doing this all while also trying to keep weight down some what, has to be difficult. It isn't like a pure EV, where you can keep packing in battery cells all while having room for electric motors and even two trunks(front/rear).
There really isn't anywhere else to put batteries, unless they start eating into trunk space(which I would guess is already happpening). |

I understand what you're saying and it's valid for sure I still think 40 miles is pathetic I'd rather have one electric car and the other gas until the packaging and weight is seriously reduced

Merc is going to sell it as trickle down tech from Formula 1. Using the E-turbo, it is rather interesting tech to be honest. Here is a video describing how system works. |
