2024 BMW i4 eDrive35 review: 0-100 & POV test drive

Uploaded 1 year ago by Driving Enthusiast

Video Summary

Here's the requested summary:
- The car is like an all-electric 3 Series, the same size as the 3 Series, but with a coupe body from the 4 Series.
- The back is finished with a boot lip and is a sport back.
- There is about 470L of boot space suitable for everyday use. It is a sport back, so the panel rises like a big hatchback.
- The front grills look stupid.
- The bonnet is long, like traditional sports cars with an inline six engine.
- The tested car is the base model, identifiable by its 18-inch wheels with taller profile rubber.
- The interior feels sporty, hunkered down, and spacious. The design is pretty clean.
- There's a large screen, but it collects dust easily and looks like a big black panel when the car is off.
- The car remembers where it last was with some apps selected, which is a nice feature.
- There is ample storage, cup holders, and a wireless phone charger.
- Legroom in the back is decent. Rear passengers have climate control and USB-C ports.
- There is less space in the rear compared to the 3 Series due to the coupe roof line.
- The main difference between the car and the eDrive40 is the battery size and the power output.
- The range in this version is 430 kilometers. The 40 model has 510 on the NEDC cycle.
- The 0-100 km/h is 6.0 seconds in the tested car vs 5.7 in the 40.
- This vehicle is fine if drivers don't need that extra .3 seconds for acceleration to 100km/h.
- When driving, the car feels like a BMW and is communicative to the driver.
- It weighs about 1990 kg, or about 60 kg less than the 40.
- The tested car is fun to drive, and has decent road handling. The car feels like a driver's car.
- This has an 'iconic sound' that can be turned off to leave the cabin silent.
