It'll be priced higher than both of those but keep in mind BMW still has the benefit of the full Federal tax rebate and State rebate.
Expect the launch edition i4 80 to start at 65K before options and incentives.
A nicely equipped one (prem + driver assist) should be 74K before incentives but you'll be able to get 7500 + 2000 + local county EV incentive = ~ 10k back.
Upon release it'll have less range and performance than the corresponding model 3 performance, but it'll make that up by having the BMW badge on the hood and a nicer exterior and interior design.
Base i4 will be released around 2022, starting at 50K with 65 kWh battery good for 200 miles EPA. still more expensive than the base model 3 on sale now (40K) but again, incentives and badging will make up for that.
