BMW I4 - SUPERB, BUT WITH A SIGNIFICANT CATCH!

EV Channels Review

The BMW i4, particularly the M50 variant, is praised for its exceptional build quality, comfortable driving position, and premium interior feel, which the reviewer finds superior to Tesla's offerings. The car is described as "ferociously fast" and offers a driving experience that feels solid and refined, reminiscent of traditional BMW driving dynamics. However, the significant "catch" is its price. Even the entry-level i4 is considerably more expensive than a Tesla Model 3, and the M50 model tested, with options, reaches a staggering £78,000. While acknowledged as a great company car option or for those with "money no object" who are loyal to the BMW brand, the reviewer struggles to justify the value proposition for private buyers when compared to more affordable and equally capable alternatives, especially considering the charging infrastructure limitations compared to Tesla.
