So you come here with a specious argument about it can't do hot laps. But it's not designed as a track car.
You also left this part out:
Although it's nowhere near the M4's lap, the i4 hangs through corners with the M340i we tested here in 2021 and trails it by a mere 1.5 seconds in overall lap time, despite the gas-powered 3-series' dramatic speed advantage. The i4's brake pedal stayed firm during three days of lapping, more so than the M240i's, despite shedding more energy. The chassis is trusty, with no surprises, making it easy to acclimate to, and the car doesn't feel as massive as its nearly full-size-pickup curb weight might suggest.
EVs still have a long way to go to prove themselves on track, but the i4 is a step in the right direction, especially considering it's less than half the price of that Taycan
So it's not compelling for "you".
I get that, but stop trying to spin a narrative that it's a crap car
EVs are not "infant tech" as you would say. Battery tech, needs improvement. It has nothing to do with what you can do with an electric motor.

Ayy there it is, moving the goal posts and not understanding the original statement! do you read the posts you respond to?

Yes and you can drive a whole 16 miles utilizing that performance before you need to fully recharge.... lol
And it can only get full performance for 4 miles!

Factually accurate

It physically cannot go to the track for more than 1 lap, it's a commuter car (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Also correct.
This thread is about M cars, and people are discussing whether M-lites are M cars.
The "i4 M50" is not an "M car", factually accurate.
Glad that you got the only one in the world that can do more than 16 miles at full blast before needing hours of charging. So blessed and lucky.
