The i4 shares the body with the petrol and diesel variants, so also has the transmission tunnel. The good thing is that they managed to turn a regular ice car into an EV and still get 300 miles range in the edrive 40, and be almost as efficient as the model 3. (Bjorn Nyland 1000km test)

Considering the weight difference it's really impressive. in 2025 the new bodies gonna be realeased so I guess the performances and efficiency will improve massively

Quality on Tesla is so poor. My Subaru puts it to shame. Can't really compare BMW to Tesla.

He made a dent in the hood of the Tesla when he wanted to show the correct way to close the hood 24:51 🤡

Thanks for sharing:)

idk if you ever figured it out, but you have to code the trunk closure from key fob.

I just ordered an i4. This is an amazing video. Thank you for sharing this with us.

@@reggiesmith5458 Cool! Thanks for the feedback. Michigan they talking 6-8 months for a build. I may change my mind by that time comes around.

Thank you, very helpful and instructive. And i finally can answer the question a lot of people were asking me, like why doesn't my i4 have a front trunk like in a Tesla 🙂

Seems to be the best EV on the market right now. And the best looking as well. After the Taycan of course.

Nice video, thanks. Side bolsters are adjustable in the Sport and M-Sport seats. You just happened to pick perforated seats, which come without it.

Then it should be addressed by the warranty though. It should in theory work.

22:38 Most likely because you weren't pushing the M50 at all. The AWD kicks in on demand, otherwise the M50 will cruise in RWD to save energy. Also makes the E40 an attractive alternative if you don't need the additional traction or extra 200 hp of the M50 because the E40 doesn't have the extra 300 pounds up front (which is more or less dead weight when trying to cruise for maximum range). Something I have no idea about is whether or not the M50 will even engage AWD while in Eco Pro mode. I have just the E40, but I would assume putting the car in Eco Pro will limit the horsepower, and what better way to hold back the M50' power consumption than to rein in the front motor?

Main point: i4 is missing cornering cameras. Should be added. Isn't weight difference v Tesla mainly in the chassis?

Yes. The i4 is heavier because it was built that way... 24:33 ...which is to say, built to last. Every detractor of the BMW EVs say they are a 'compromised' design derived from traditional chassis when in fact the bespoke Tesla 3 is the one that was physically compromised for the sake of weight saving.

6:40 Side Bol seats option in all in ASIA, EUROPE and Canada. Again USA car stripping car functions annoys me....BMW, Lexus and all!

Why does Aaron keep saying "EV Vehicle"? Did he forget what the 'V' stands for? Does he also put his PIN number in the ATM machine? 😅

"Expert". He read a few marketing brochures and sells cars. LOL.

This tells me, no to I4. Good looking vehicle though.

Tesla, quality😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This motor requires more maintenance in the long run do not buy. BMW has these brushes that will require “maintenance” BMW is all about the post car repairs and maintenance they are unreliable. I do not trust this at all. Be cautious. In the end it’s your money.

It's to avoid having little kids toiling hard in the magnet mines for the rotors. Tesla is trying to find ways to reduce the amount of neodymium in their rotors because of the cost.

meh the BMW looks cramped as hell.

Don't let the four doors fool you: It's a coupe with 2+2 seating. Folks should know that going in so they don't get disappointed by the rear seating space.

Bmw has ugly grill6, why such large grille when it's not functional, stupidity.
