I test drove the tesla 3 and ended up buying the BMW i4 35. It's more comfortable, easier to drive and definitely more of a luxury feel. Love the BMW and it comes with two years free charging with Electric America.

Beautiful car ❤ and nice review

Hi what colour white is this??? Is it Alphine white ? Or is it Mineral white ??

What is the average consumption?

It looks very similar to the 330e inside the vehicle. I looking in into I4 or 330e.

Just a note, on the BMW i4 in the UK for 2024 models there is no gear changer, it's a small lever for forward, reverse, and neutral/park.

The range number you said you achieved seems to match eDrive40 -- are you sure it wasn't a 40 that you drove for that time?

BMW also gives you 2 years free charging at electrify America n include free on the go chargers 115v 240v. Get the i4

Is edrive awd?

I’d pick the bmw, mainly for the ride quality and because they don’t screw customers over by announcing huge price drops in Jan 23 after convincing everyone to take delivery in Dec 22, like Tesla.

Buying one today!! BMWs are my favorite

I know the i4 doesn't allow coasting when the foot is off the accelerator pedal which is not the most efficient. But is there any way that the driver could technically coast by pressing the accelerator pedal extremely gently?

Ben, love your channel. Cant figure out how to PM you. I have a brand new Grand Wagoneer series 3 msrp 115k. 16 miles. On dealer lot. On hold. Selling for $97500. Would you say that’s a fair price? 2nd row bench is only thing I see that is maybe no wanted by most.

There’s a chance that jeep might release bigger discounts, but your guess is as good as mine.

I have a Model 3 and I am going to jump on the i4 as soon as possible. I really miss having a moon roof that opens and also having normal controls in the car. Operating the screen while driving is definitely more difficult in a Tesla than using BMW's system. The only thing holding BMW back is the charging network. Tesla's superchargers are unrivaled, but once BMW can charge up on the network, I don't see any reason to own the Tesla any longer.

Get the eDrive 40. It gets more range and isn't much more pricewise.

Would much rather have the BMW i4 (or any German electric car) over a poorly made Tesla. No brainer.

It's funny you mentioned this being compared to the Model 3 because that's what I'm currently trying to decifer for my first car. For me it's between the quality/luxury of the i4 and the the self driving capability of tesla. I am stuck in a bind, if i choose one i give up the other!!

I picked the BMW i4 edrive35 because it rides smooth and has a lot of features as standard BMW is giving you the 7,500$ on a lease and my dealership in Northern California in the Bay Area are discounting 6.5 % off MSRP, a great value on lease terms, BMW has one of the best leasing options available for a luxury vehicle

That’s awesome! We’re visiting some dealerships tomorrow to take a look at some i4s. Which dealership in NorCal gave you the 6.5% off MSRP? Thanks!!

Not really a competitor to Tesla apart from both being EVs. The I4 is half a class better in a lot of areas, actually (which also reflects in the price)

only thing more confusing than bmw design choice is there naming conventions.

not really. i cars are electric and this is the electric version of the 4 series. while some of their cars have terrible names most are straightforward. especially compared to other brands than use shitty names that make no sense.

Your review didn't catch. Rear seat floor is not flat. Which not good.

Love my 35. Incredible lease deal thru BMW financial. Beauty in the eye of the beholder, but the Tesla is butt ugly.

Don't use 19" wheels, go with the 18" ones. The 19" massively reduce the maximum range of the car.
