BMW offers its electric cars to the Real Madrid men's basketball team

Only recently we saw how the Real Madrid women’s football team received its electric cars from BMW, which are included in the brand’s sponsorship contract for the sports institution. Like their club teammates, the players of Real Madrid’s first basketball team have chosen the model that best suits their tastes and needs from among the three electrified models that BMW has made available to them.

These are the sporty coupé BMW i4, the imposing saloon BMW i7 and the most technologically advanced SAV, the BMW iX. The latter is considered one of the most technologically advanced in the entire brand, but also the most sustainable. The reason lies in the use of sustainable materials.

For the design, secondary raw materials, recycled and natural-origin materials have been used. Among the recycled materials we can find recycled aluminium, but also plastics, which give the car a style better suited to the sustainability requirements demanded today.

The use of chrome has been eliminated, and FSC-certified wood can be found, which guarantees its sustainable origin; leather tanned with olive oil; and floor and mat coverings made from materials derived from recycled fishing nets, along with other components that enhance that environmentally friendly vehicle spirit.

Real Madrid players, like all other drivers, can choose from three powertrains, xDrive40, xDrive50 and M60, offering outputs ranging from 240 kW (326 CV) to 455 kW (619 CV) and ranges from 435 to 632 kilometres.

The BMW i4 has introduced the eDrive35 version, which offers a motor with a power output of 210 kW, that is, 286 CV, and a range of 483 kilometres, always under the WLTP cycle. The M50 version is designed by BMW M GmbH and features two electric motors delivering 400 kW, equivalent to 544 CV. It is a dynamic, precise car with a sporty design that does not disappoint.

For its part, the BMW i7 is the first electric version of the brand’s high-end saloon. The fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology makes it more precise, elegant and functional on the move. It uses a high-voltage battery with a capacity of 101.7 kWh, providing a range of between 590 and 625 kilometres, also under the WLTP cycle.

The xDrive60 version delivers a maximum output of 500 kW, which means 544 CV, although in the M70 version this rises to 486 kW, 660 CV, with a range of between 488 and 560 kilometres.

All these models are available at the brand’s dealerships, so they can be enjoyed on any occasion, without needing to be one of the best basketball players in the world.
