In Denmark around €109 - and that is only because the taxes are way lower on a EV than an ICE car

I do have to say, the car looks magnificent in real life. The Frozen Portimao Blue paint is really something btw
The interior screen is crazy as well and supper snappy, Tesla / iOS snappy, no lag at all. All the interior changes vs regular 4 series are for the better as well. The M Sport seats (the proper bucket ones) are top notch as well, with nicely shaped cutout in the rear for rear passengers. Don't get the pano roof though, it cuts well into the rear passenger head space.

The radar sensor behind the grill ruins the symmetry of the bumper/grill they should have centered it like on the G20s but would still love an M50 no doubt

My dealer estimated the diplomatic/VIP discount to come in at 20%. Still to be confirmed by BMW NL.

Did you see the NL Price List already?

Thank you for the price list

The options are quiet similar to the G26 M440i

What I‘m missing at this price list is harman/kardon sound system

Maybe it is not available at the beginning because of chip shortage?!
Does anyone else missing something at the price list?

A local dealer here in Germany told me, that at the moment there is no Laserlight available for the 4series because of chip shortage, i don‘t know if it is true

Noticed the lack of H/K as well. I’m hoping it’s an error. What’s also strange is that the DAB and HiFi options are listed under the header “Climate control”.

The VIN of this one: WBA31AW020FL03668.
Can't find a VIN decoder that can read it though.

If the i4 will have bidirectional charging it will be one of the best cars out there, need a way to dump and reuse all this solar power I keep feeding into the grid for nothing

Have you got a photo of the charger port to see what type it is?

No pictures, and it was plugged in but I would guess a CCS port in EU.

sd_dracula · 07-21-2021, 09:24 AM

Yes was wondering if chademo or ccs

No, definitely not. BMW only had Chademo on their Japan delivered i3's.

sd_dracula · 07-21-2021, 10:42 AM

CCS standard for bidirectional charging should be approved this year so fingers crossed BMW will put this in all 2022 full electric models like VW want to do.

10% is the absolute minimum I go for.

Got 15% on my X5 45e. Was the second order in the concession and one of the first to receive it (nov 2019).

25% was my highest discount on the outgoing E91 model.

Does the i4 have an option for full panorama roof or is it just the half-sunroof that stretches an uncomfortable amount? Would of been nice to have a full pano roof like teslas or taycans.

Press release:

Quote:

The standard glass slide/tilt sunroof with a transparent surface measuring 3.6-square feet baths the interior in light. The 34.1-inch wide and 23-inch long expanse of glass extends into the rear of the car and includes a front panel which can be opened or tilted up.

Well after lots of consideration I have just ordered my i4 M50 via lease scheme. Delivery date TBC expecting Q1 2022.

UK Spec Car in M Portimao Blue metallic/Black with Blue stitching Vernasca leather plus;

- Comfort Pack
- Technology Plus Pack
- Visibility Pack

First time have ever ordered car without seeing/trying. But going EV for first time - looked at alternatives and did not want SUV/Crossover So TM3 is just a NO! Saw the Kia EV6 in the flesh last night and just didn't like it, Polestar was a no from the better half....... So fingers completely crossed.

UK here too, just got final quote and I’ll be ordering mine on Monday:

I did look at the M50 but think I’m going Msport with pro pack and tech pack.

Just can’t decide on portimao blue or tanzanite blue, I’ve originally gone tanzanite as there is an M4 in my local dealer that looks beautiful, but after reading a few colour threads on here it maybe the case it only looks that good in lovely sunshine or under showroom lights.

Just ordered a i4 m50i today. Status 111 with confirmed production slot week 46. Delivery expected week 48 (end November).
Hopefully the date doesn't change.
