Have you had an electric car? My 2014 i3 barely has 70 miles of range and even that short range is rarely an issue - remember you always start the day with a full tank of gas - and chargers are pretty much everywhere you drive in the unlikely situation where you rack up 200+ miles in a day. I would bet you will more likely regret not having the 20" than those 50 miles...

Despite lower range, I decided to go with 20 inch wheel and M tech pack. If one doesn’t get 20 inch wheels, then the pack is not available. It means you won’t get wider back (there are plastic things where the rear wheels are. No idea how they are named in English). Look at the photos.

That is correct but the M-Tech pack when you read the details on what it is, it just adds bigger brakes and nothing else at least on the Swedish site it says that, at this point i will go with the 19" and if it turns out that the regular brakes are "bad" or if i want to go up to the 20 inch then i will probably upgrade my breaks also because at that time they will probably need replacing also.

The only time.younwill use all friction is when the car is fully charged. As soon as the battery can take some charge you'll have a mix of friction and regenerative braking. For me it's not even a thought, I want 20" wheels.

Maybe, it will be better if I post other photos. On this picture, the car is without m tech pack and there are no arch extenders - https://images.app.goo.gl/DddCbnJCxcesMNH18 But on these, there are extenders - https://images.app.goo.gl/Ensz1tckPqD5PxpPA and https://images.app.goo.gl/eG6HHWGuFccfxsUN7 They’re barely noticeably when one plays with the configurator, but I noticed this detail and it’s a must on this ///M electric car Last edited by finn123; 10-29-2021 at 08:58 AM.. |

I would choose the 19s as well, but only if I could not choose 18s.
Some will think it looks better. Some will think it looks worse. The only objective reality is that it looks different. Hardly a "must" if one doesn't like it.

Depending on the quality of the roads where you live, smaller is better! We voted to allow extra gas tax so our roads will be maintained better. The tax happened right away, but now we're 2 years later waiting for the road improvements. All we get are patched, patches that have been patched dozens of times before.

Another order made here.
I4M50 with all the options except the tow bar (don’t need that), the sunroof (id take panoramic roof, but it’s not available), phone charger (useless option) and ventilated seats (sad I can’t take them… m sport doesn’t support ventilation. Cry) Estimated date of delivery - December 2022 well, I have still one year to enjoy my 11 months old fully optioned X5 45e. Gonna trade that in. Sad i4 doesn’t have soft close, panoramic roof and double glazing (though, the press release says it must be quite) X1E Frozen Portimao Blue metallic MAPQ Leather 'Vernasca' Cognac decor stitching (BK) 5AC High-beam assistant 5AZ BMW Laserlight 6U3 BMW Live Cockpit Professional 248 Steering-wheel heating 322 Comfort access system 33T M Technology package 3FW 20" M Lt/Aly wheels Double-spoke style 868 M Bicolour / MT and performance tyres 3M2 M Sport brake, red high-gloss 3MF BMW Individual Lights Shadow Line 420 Sun protection glazing 459 Seat adjustment, electric with memory for driver's seat 488 Lumbar support for driver and front passenger 4GQ M seat belts 4MC Interior trim finishers Carbon Fibre 4U0 Galvanic embellisher for controls 4UR Ambient interior lighting 5AL Active Protection 5AU Driving Assistant Professional 5DN Parking Assistant Plus 688 Harman Kardon surround sound system 711 M Sport seats for driver and front passenger 71C M Carbon exterior package 7M9 BMW Individual high-gloss Shadow Line with extended contents Last edited by finn123; 11-05-2021 at 03:13 PM.. |

Hmm, Delivery in December 2022?? In the US we still cannot place an actual order. I wonder how the allocations will work? Technically a delivery in 2023 still qualifies as "After June 2022" which is all the info I have at this point. My 335D with 120K miles will be needing some repairs by then (think I need a VC gasket).

Our order bank isn't open in the US but I placed a deposit same day they started taking them. Presumably my allocation is early spring. We'll see if they messed that up.... God I hope not.
