But we know that's not true in the case of e40. That trim comes standard without the rear air suspension. It can be ordered with the M Sport package, but it's not standard.

I just checked and you are 100% correct. I was always under the impression the rear air suspension was optional on the 40 and standard on the 50. But upon looking just now, I see as you said, the adaptive is the option in question. I even thought I saw a review where the reviewer mentioned air suspension as an option.
Live and learn, thanks. |

This is true for the current z4 as well (30i vs M40i), so not surprised. More power, more weight, less-engaging. A true M version should be meant to fix that of it ever comes about.

How can they do a review of a new EV and NOT talk about charging speed? Going on about how in a few years the infotainment might not look so fresh any more…the biggest questionmark on this car is the maximum charging speed and how long it can sustain a high charging rate even under less ideal conditions. People want to eventually reach their destination, don't they?
The closest competition to the i40 would be the KIA EV6 - which charges considerably faster being an 800V system. |

I have an i8 and Tesla 3 in the garage, 2 different animals but one enjoyable feature they have in common is the clean point of view from driver standpoint, you just see the road and your view is not covered by part of the bonnet. And that's because for an electric car you don't need to put lots of stuff in front (and i8 it's sort of mid engine). You may not pay attention to this until you drive very slopped bonnet car.
I don't see why an electric car needs such a big and regular looking bonnet. |
