Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video review of the BMW i4:- The i4 is essentially an electric version of the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe.
- The interior is very similar to the 4 Series, with comfortable seats and loads of side support.
- On the outside, the main differences are the grill covering, aero alloys, and a few blue highlights.
- Available in eDrive40 and M50 versions. The M50 has sportier touches.
- Material quality and overall build are better than in a Model 3.
- A downside is rear headroom due to the curving roofline. The floor in the rear is also higher due to the batteries.
- It has a 12.3-inch digital driver display joined to a 14.9-inch touchscreen.
- Has BMW’s latest iDrive system.
- Has a voice command system that is considered good.
- The system has a lot of menus and submenus with smaller icons.
- Climate controls are all touch screen.
- Under-floor storage is good, however, if the sound system is upgraded, there’s less storage space.
- eDrive40 does 0 to 62 mph in 5.7 seconds and can range up to 365 miles.
- Stopping is smooth.
- It has a maximum charge speed of 200kw. A 10 to 80 percent charge takes a little over 30 minutes.
- Tesla’s Supercharger network availability gives that brand an edge.
- The M50 model is faster than the eDrive40 and has upgraded brakes, but handles worse than the Model 3 due to its weight.
- The review concludes that the i4 eDrive40 is a fundamentally brilliant electric car. The i4, despite being an electric car, embodies classic BMW traits, and is not a bargain.
