Players on Real Madrid’s first squad have already received their new automobiles for the 2023–2024 season, as is now customary at the beginning of every new football season.
Now that the club and BMW have partnered for two years, the players have even more options to choose from.
Players can now select partially-electric models, unlike last year when they could only choose 100 percent electric versions.
This is the situation with plug-in hybrid cars, which have a gasoline tank and can run on electricity for about 100 miles. In any event, the Real Madrid first team’s vehicles are all registered with the ZERO emissions certification.
The first team players and coach Carlo Ancelotti have selected up to four different automobiles from the BMW catalog, including coupés (BMW i4), sedans (BMW i7), and the SUVs iX and XM.
The electric i4 eDrive35 i4, which is presently priced at 57,000 euros, is the most “affordable” of them; the plug-in hybrid XM, one of the newer models, is the most expensive, costing about 180,000 euros.
The XM was the team’s preference and the model that Englishman Jude Bellingham, the main star of the League, selected as his first BMW in white. Up to eight players choose the one and only model that isn’t entirely electric.
Following the i4, which was selected by seven players and the Italian coach, was the iX, another SUV with a battery (which, incidentally, the players were already familiar with from the previous year), which came in second place with seven requests. The lone “discordant note” was Nacho, who chose the electric i7.
Curiously, the only captains with ‘unmarked’ are Nacho, Modric (the Croatian was the only one to choose the iX M60 with 619 horsepower and 133,000 euros), and Tchouameni (the one who received the’modest’ i4 eDrive35 with 286 horsepower).
Like Modric and Camavinga, Ancelotti has selected a unique hue from the BMW Individual catalog in keeping with his personal flair.
