One third the price of Taycan

This will be a deal by comparison

And will have a more respectable range

On i3 if you order Black I think it came with Grey trim instead of the tree hugging blue

I'd rather not advertise it's Electric

I prefer a clean look

There are some nice high-res pictures released from BMW of the new M sport package. So I have made some close-up shots of the car here











And some photoshop pictures of the i4 M Sport in black

Just compare the design of the i8 and this… maybe a bit bland ? Why not use this opportunity of moving from ICE engines to batteries to have a sharper and newer design ?
Sorry, but this seems disappointing…

they don't have a dedicated ev platform. This is a stop gap vehicle until they develop one around 2025. Similar to 911 and Taycan but bmw does not have Taycan. They blew it with I8.

Imagine if Porsche had a smaller version of the Taycan at around the same starting price as the i4. It would kill BMW. The Taycan is over my budget but I just can't buy an i4 with that face.

Here I thought what a great reason to eliminate the grille--not needing air.

Yep and we all still hate it along with the majority of the car community.

I actually think this grille works really well in a more body integrated way like the i4 concept. Why they'd make it look like a grille for an ICE car is beyond me.

Well said. Accentuating the opening by having the grill on top of the opening is what throws me. The G82 M4 treatment with the opening incorporating elements is a MUCH better execution then extending beyond the opening. I think that is key. In my very humble opinion. Art and the beholder of course.

The Audi almost had me until I saw the rear lights. Somehow it's simultaneously simple and too busy.

If BMW could actually make an EV that wasn't ugly (besides the i8), I might actually buy one.

The difference between the concept car and the final version is striking: sorry to say but Audi is much better at this.
Just the headlights look much sleeker and futuristic and in line with an EV.
Then the rest is very bland…

A6 E-Tron is actually based on Porsche's own developed platform, much different setup and capabilities than the VW MEB platform.
