Who knows what else Tesla will do by the time the i4 comes out?
bmw won't price this car competitively against the model 3. cost and battery production limit and the fact they are a ICE focused manufacture pretty much determines this is a small volume car at best. aimed at recouping some lost sales to model 3 from 3/4/5 series.

I expect the top range i4 that's coming out to start at $70K before options and incentive. the lower versions starting at $60K a year later.

it's a competitor to Tesla in the sense that you need to pay up to distinguish yourself from the plebeian model 3 drivers that are everywhere these days.
