i4 won't compete with the Model 3, the BMW will be more expensive in all configurations.
We still don't know of i4 pricing, but regardless a loaded Model 3 is $67k, even if not equivalent models, there will likely be an overlap in pricing. A Cayenne is much more expensive than an X5 yet the two are still competitors, same can be said of a G70 and 3er. The i4 and Model 3 are of the same class, luxury compact, and people today are cross-shopping the 3/4-series against the Mode 3 despite price differences. A Model S is considered a Mid or Full size vehicle.
