The Iconic Sound is subjective. And driving an Audi E-Tron for the past 1 1/2 years. I prefer the BMW sound better than the space ship sound the Etron makes. Even with Etron, I got used to it and tuned it out. One thing to note is that since the i4 M50 will get you to speed limit very quickly, you won't hear the full spectrum of the sounds. I like how you can turn it on/off. |

Some interesting facts about the I4 compared to the M440i GC:
Source: I met someone with an i4 M50 at a car meet last week; we brought the cars side by side and compared the differences. Exterior wise besides minor front-end and rear styling changes that are visually apparent, the i4 M50 seems to be a couple of millimeters taller - we both had 19" wheels. |

Haha, that's a little harsh but yes, those things, you mentioned "Imagine overpaying for a car just because you think it's the future". You don't have to imagine that, people overpay for teslas every day !

Paying premium prices for quality and build less than a Chevy Bolt. Don't get me wrong I have had two Chevy Bolts and they are great cars at $30k. That's what a Tesla should cost.

Alpine White may just be the best color for the i4.

No test drive but sat in my dealer's demo car yesterday.
Damn, that back seat is TIGHT. I'm 6'2" and could no way sit behind myself, which is a problem since my son is already almost 6'1". Otherwise it's like a 4GC with a better dash, IMO. The wheel blocks a good bit of the IP but I do like the iDrive 8. Very snappy and pretty easy to navigate...but I'm used to a giant touch screen so not a lot of learning curve for me. One thing I would miss (especially as a tall guy) is a power adjusting steering wheel with comfort entry. |

The back seat is cool for me since I'm 5'7"ish. I had no issue sitting behind me, but a taller person will. I haven't sat in the i4. I sat in the GC and what I immediately noticed is how big it is compared to an E90. The cat is E39 5 series size. The auto steering wheel is nice. I have it on my X5. It doesn't come on the 3/4. Can't wait to go harass my dealer for a test drive.

Unfortunately what's not comfortable, for me, is the front seat. I didn't really enjoy the seating position as even with the seat in it's lowest position, the top of the windshield was impeding my view. Shame, as I did have headroom. Also, wasn't really a fan of the minivan like open tunnel between the two front seats. I like the openness, but I wish there was some kind of bin there, at least a low one. Would be good for my wife's purse and just serves as a small visual divider. Little things help. Also would distract from the scratchy looking back plastic on the lower front of the center console. The cargo area in the iX wasn't as bad as people were making it out to be, but it is definitely tighter than an X5. Still pretty usable. Shame the rear seats don't slide or tilt. |
