Before the new season begins, Kylian Mbappe is expected to receive a state-of-the-art BMW, just like his new Real Madrid teammates.
The French sensation, who has been linked to a move to the Spanish capital for years, was revealed as the club’s newest Galatico earlier last month.
Participating for the largest club in the world offers numerous benefits. Mbappe will not only experience an increase in his already very high visibility through new commercial partnerships, but he will also be vying for the highest awards in sports.
Being a part of the Los Blancos first team also has off-field benefits. The team’s current three-year sponsorship agreement with the German automaker allows for the gift of an electric BMW.
Every member of the first team, manager Carlo Ancelotti, and even club president Florentino Perez receive a new car at the beginning of each season, much to Bayern Munich’s arrangement with Audi.
Marca claims that Mbappe will have the i7 M70 xDrive. The powerplant has two engines: a 489-hp one on the back axle and a 258-hp one on the front.
As a result, his vehicle can travel up to 250 km/h and complete a 0–100 sprint in an incredible 3.7 seconds. The automobile costs over £164,00 at retail.
Mbappe won’t feel out of place when he gets to the training field because a lot of his teammates are anticipated to adopt a similar style. President Perez really drives the same car already.
Although the players’ current roster for Real Madrid has not yet been made public, they were spotted beaming in October when they received their models for the 2023–24 season.
The first team players and the coach have selected up to four distinct models, which include the BMW i4, i7, SUV iX, and XM.
The i4 eDrive35 i4, an electric vehicle that retails for approximately £50,000, was priced at the lower end of the spectrum. Nevertheless, the plug-in hybrid XM, which costs more than £150,000, was the priciest vehicle of the group.
A total of eight Madrid players, including Jude Bellingham, Thibaut Courtois, and Rodrygo, reportedly chose that choice, according to Marca.
Of the seven players, Vinicius Jr. and Aurelien Tchouameni chose the less expensive i4. Their manager, who called the car “spectacular,” also joined them.
Defender Antonio Rudiger, along with veterans Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, chose the less expensive SUV option in the iX. Naturally, Kroos, who opted to end his spectacular career last season, will miss his yearly trips to the BMW showroom this term.
