BMW is actually in the process of restoring order in its electrical strategy, just like Mercedes of the rest. Harald Krüger, CEO of BMW, expects 100,000 electric and hybrid sales this year and more in the coming years of course.

With this in mind, it appears that the future Series 4 GT will also have its electric version and that this one will offer 350 hp to climb to the levels of the best 3 Series thermal performance. Thanks to new battery technology, this one should offer up to 500 km of autonomy for a starting price turning around 45,000 € history to compete with the Model 3 of Tesla (2018).

My sporting wishes are suddenly stopped by the snow that begins to fall to large flakes, strongly. The bitumen is covered with a white, immaculate layer, calling immediately to re-engage the driving aids and to dose the accelerator with delicacy. I thus join the town of Berchtesgaden, a few cables from the Kehlsteinhaus – nicknamed the “Eagle’s Nest” by the Frenchman André François-Poncet – that the very cloudy weather prevents me from seeing.

The BMW 440i combines comfort and performance. Able to propel you from 0 to 100 km / h in 5 seconds, to drive at 250 km / h (limited electronically) while preserving a comfort of damping of very good invoice, it does not forget to be dynamic Or even to offer surprisingly correct rear seats. The consumption is of course capable of flying in sustained driving phases, but in normal use it is satisfied with about 9 l / 100 km. Still the question of price, my BMW 440i M Sport test model with some options – such as the gearbox – is exchanged for 70,000 €.
