It's just annoying how BMW keeps ruining the looks of their new cars with this ugly beaver face..
Just look at the current 5 series elegant appearance vs. this.. |

Tesla's rear seat, otoh, is actually OK even with my height. For i4 to match it, BMW would have to give up the coupe shape and use a dedicated EV platform (center tunnel? really?) |

As much as the process mimics Tesla closely, I didn't take the bait to pay before signing. So I requested to have a unit that arrived next day to be marked as P1, then test drove(with 10 miles after PDI) before signing. My understanding is that Tesla requires pay-in-full before product can be driven(and no cool-off once signed), and that does bother me. |

up to 510km / 320mi range is what the local rep told me, which is to me after living with a i3 for several years, more than enough.
I think I have my spec ready... basically 1/3 of the price of a M3 here, around the same as a 320i. surely doesnt make sense not getting it?

I like the look and the interior, would love to drive one to see how it feels. The videos with the lack of drove train noise don't encourage emotion but do show it's quick.
I also think all the manufacturers all owe Tesla a debt of gratitude as Tesla pioneered all the battery technology to go into an EV (from how to solder and assemble such a big battery to cooling one, motors etc). No one had ever had a go at these engineering challenges prior to them starting up. Equally, as Tesla was started by electrical engineers not car engineers it does show - their motors and batteries are more advanced than other manufacturers but their ability to design and produce a car lags every major manufacturer as they have had to learn that stuff. The cars are very good for such a young manufacturer and the super charger network is a stroke of genius. For me, I like premium cars with nuanced chassis tuning, rand heritage, quality handling and looks. I think BMW, Audi, Porsche etc all provide that but they're inferior from a drive train / range perspective but that's OK. They'll catch up and in the mean time their cars will nice steers with quality interiors. It's also quite impressive that Porsche and Audi can make their cars steer and feel so different despite sharing the platform and drive train. I hope this i4 drives/steers half as well as a 3-series or M3 with similar practicality and cost as it could be my next daily. |

If you look photos from production looks like production of washing machines
Guys enjoy your petrol cars until you can, soon you will find only washing machines at dealership.

Hey man, i am doing my configurations at the Swedish BMW site but i have seen also bmw.co.uk has opened up their configurations to play around with a little bit. Just scroll down a little bit.

I've just talked to my sales rep, almost fully loaded the M50 will land at about $90K, before taxes and fees (which we don't pay here), and other discounts. I got one quoted for $84K after discounts. In case of that someone is wondering about the price with options.
Here we can already order it (with production number and so on), and first deliveries will be around Feb-March next year. Maybe a small batch will be released before. No word on when the configurator will be up. The blue accent on the gear shifter cannot be removed. Only Vernasca leather is available, and you can get seat ventilation if you choose the Sport seats. No ventilation with the M-Sport seats. Towing hook up to 1600Kg.
