It's definitely a competitor in performance and ugliness though.

Performance is remarkable. It's a very fast car.
When I owned the i3 I barely ever felt the need to floor it. It's plenty peppy. Teslas are incredibly fast but the acceleration is almost headache inducing.
If I can find an i4 M under $70K and 300 mile range it'll probably be my daily. What would be killer is if it gets a sports interior similar to the M3 bucket seats as an option but I can only dream.

I agree with your desires, but my feel is that the low end i4s will get 100-150 miles range, and you will have to spend 80-100k for one with 300 miles range. Bmw is trying to keep the battery packs small so as to reduce the weight and cost it seems. Along with this I think the i4M will have a small battery. Of course this is just my hunch

Range has been stated as 373 miles on the European testing cycle (about 270 miles EPA) for the 80kw battery model. I'm sure the i4 M will most likely have a 90 or 100kw battery.
