Like his new Real Madrid teammates, Kylian Mbappe is anticipated to receive a state-of-the-art BMW prior to the start of the new campaign.
The French sensation, who has been for years linked to a move to the Spanish capital, was unveiled earlier this month as the club’s newest Galatico.
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.
While the players’ current Real Madrid roster is yet unknown, they were seen grinning in October upon receiving their 2023–24 season models.
The BMW i4, i7, SUV iX, and XM are among the up to four different cars that the first team players and the coach have chosen.
The i4 eDrive35 i4, an electric car with a suggested retail price of about £50,000, was priced competitively. Nevertheless, the most expensive car in the bunch was the plug-in hybrid XM, which retails for more than £150,000.
Marca claims that eight Madrid players, including Jude Bellingham, Thibaut Courtois, and Rodrygo, made that decision.
Vinicius Jr. and Aurelien Tchouameni, two of the seven players, opted for the less costly i4. They were accompanied by their manager, who praised the car as “spectacular.”
Defender Antonio Rudiger selected the less costly SUV option in the iX, as did seasoned players Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. Naturally, Kroos won’t be making his usual trips to the BMW dealership this term as he chose to stop his incredible career last season.
