Guess we will have to wait and see what BMW delivers.
I must admit I was pretty "pumped" when I saw the i4, with the mileage and est pricing. Actually I would still be on board if actual range was 330 miles per charge (280 mi range @ 85%) and pricing was @ the Model 3 performance/extended range models.
Of some concern is how EV car's ranges are figured. If calculated at 100% (which is not recommended if one wants to preserve battery life). So 373mi. @ 100% becomes 320mi @ 85% - (270mi @100% becomes 230mi @ 85%) which would be unacceptable for my needs.
I need an EV that delivers 200 miles for a round trip w/ some driving around at the mid point for ownership to be practical.
Factoring in AC (living in Florida), radio, and the unforeseen rain storm with wipers and headlights on, range anxiety could become a real issue (for me) w/o some range cushion.
