I guess if you don't really care about handling/performance and just want something more plush that looks nice, then the i4 would be the choice here . . . but that's not typically BMW's demographic, at least for cars with a pseudo M badge on them.
I'm sure they'll do better when they move off CLAR and into the NK1 platform with the sixth gen batteries, but this was just a half-hearted attempt to get into the luxury EV space. It's not necessarily the wrong choice either, because there's a big market for people who want an EV but hate Tesla, but there's a lot of catching up to do.

No, I disagree. BMW i4 is the better car. It comes equipped with rare luxury amenities such as an instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay, numerous physical buttons and radar sensors, and even non-peeling paint, and you can choose an interior color that is not black or white. BMW i4 also looks like a vehicle you don’t mind to own, unlike the Tesla Model 3 that looks like a plastic toy frog from Walmart. |
Could not agree more. While i4 will only get better in subsequent production years, it does come with brake pads as a standard feature in the current form.
