It’s only been a few days since Real Madrid’s football players took delivery of their new BMWs, and now the basketball team is following suit. All vehicles are at least partially electrified, with most being full EVs and a handful of plug-in hybrids. Since the luxury brand is pushing electrification, players weren’t allowed to choose any of the pure gasoline or diesel models available in Bavaria’s vast lineup.
The iX proved to be the most popular choice, with five players and the coach Sergio Scariolo opting for the xDrive60, while two others went for the lesser xDrive45. We’re pleased to see two wagons in the mix: an i5 M60 Touring and the mighty M5 Touring. The traditional sedan body style wasn’t ignored either: two players drove home in the M5, and another picked up the keys to an i7 xDrive60.
As expected, most players went for SUVs, including the polarizing XM chosen by two athletes. The smallest car in the Real Madrid basketball team’s fleet is the recently launched i4 M60, a more powerful successor to the i4 M50. The latter has been M’s best-selling model for three years running.
Attached below is the complete list showing which models the players selected as their year-long company cars.
