Seriously...BMW shot themselves in the foot. The specs are not anywhere near class leading. So what do they do, make all the EV's have ugly pig noses. What were they thinking? At least make them attractive, to get people in the showroom to look at them. Audi is actually doing EV's much better than BMW right now. Do they beat Tesla no, but they do at least look good.
1. The car looks great for me and for many others. I will probably not get it because of poor infrastructure in my area, but I am really considering to get a G80 after my current F90.

2. Wait for the real world tests, the EPA numbers sometimes are hard to reproduce in reality. Remember the Car and driver test of the model S and the taycan? EPA Taycan: 192mi EPA Tesla model s performance: 348mi.
Tested ranges: Taycan 209 mi, Model S: 222mi
See it here:

In Germany / Europe the Model 3 Performance has a claimed range of 530km. The i4 M50 has 510 - not that far away imo.

3. Build quality. I don't think that this will improve by much in the Tesla model 3. At the end of the day you get what you pay for - the Model 3 is fine considering the price. BMW or any other premium car maker never defined themselves by offering low priced car's. I remember how everyone complained about the price of the Taycan - now you wait one year for your order.


Now let's leave this Thread for those that are really about to preorder the i4. I am curious if they approach the same strategy as in the ix3 and give you a pretty loaded car with only a few options to choose from.
