Recently, BMW's official released the official images of the new BMW i4 M60 xDrive model. The new vehicle has made adjustments to the exterior details and an upgrade to its power.

At the same time, it is equipped with a three-spoke multi-functional sports steering wheel. The interior decorative panels and seams also use a red and blue dual-color combination.
