The rear hatch auto opener works just fine. He performed the opening function incorrectly. Instead of waving your foot left and right, you just need to quickly kick your foot toward the middle of the rear hatch area and it will engage opening function right away.
Love our new i4. But that powered sunroof could have been replaced with a full front to back fixed sunroof like the Tesla. Makes the back row headroom taller too.
Appreciate that! Unfortunately I only had this vehicle for a week so i wasn't able to test real life driving range; however, if i get the refreshed 2025 model i will definitely try it!
Hi - great video (and I’ve seen virtually all of the I4 videos)! My M50 is scheduled to go into production week 48. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Just an FYI on opening the back; I have seen others say that it’s more of a straight ahead kick of the foot than a side-to-side motion. You might want to try that. Also, I have a question about limiting the speed. Do you feel as if the car would react quickly enough if you need to hit the gas as an evasive maneuver? I am curious about your experienced opinion. Thanks!
Appreciate that Michelle! And thanks for the advice on the hands-free liftgate. Good information for potential buyers to see. As for the quick reaction when in 'limit mode' - in my experience it took about 1.5 seconds to kick in when you stomp on the accelerator so in an emergency situation it might be feel a little slow but it might be quick enough depending on the situation.
Mine is on the ship on the way over from Germany. I got metallic portal blue with cognac interior and carbon fiber trim but I was also able to add the 50th anniversary M emblems /roundels given the delays (originally it was a February order so it was too early for the emblems at that time)
Nice video. Expecting my car in a few weeks. I have a Tesla and have always been a BMW enthusiast so am very excited. From my experience with my previous bmw moving your foot from front to back under the trunk worked pretty well.
The tailgate sensor is very finicky, I found the best way to activate is to put your foot in the center past your ankle and then quickly retract it. This works 70% of the time.
Awesome video Schway. I've watched more i4 videos than I can count and your video had some features I hadn't seen covered elsewhere. My white M50 will be here in December.
Everytime I see an American i4 I focus on the orange stripe on the side of the car... It doesnt belong there, I understand its regulation. But! very nice vid!!!! thanks.
From what I have seen there is a 60 minute waiting period between eligible charging sessions, but otherwise there is no limit on the number of eligible charging sessions.
wait i thought adaptive high high beams were illegal in the U.S. Isn't only basic auto on and off high beams are legal(found in even the most basic modern cars like the RAV4)🤔
Unfortunately I don't have the answer to that. I did not have the BMW app as it was not my vehicle. I'm curious to hear what owners answer to your question.
@@SchwayZ Other video show it as no :( I wonder why the enginneer doing half ass shit... like why can't the voice control roll up all window if it can be roll all down :( And hatch back can only be open with key and cannot be close with key....
I believe this is due to safety. Why would you want to close the boot with the key anyway? If you mean the down movement, there's a button you press once it opens. If you mean closing, as in locking it, it will lock automatically once you lock the car. I understand the windows, but if you have small children who love to stick their heads out, it's not a bad safety feature.
I love them. They provide so much targeted light that I can drive along the Autobahn at 250 km/h (155 mi/h) in the middle of the night without dazzling oncoming traffic.
@@SchwayZ No it's the edrive 40 with m sport. But that shouldn't matter. If possible, can you go to software update and let me know what version of software your car is?
@@iFayt9034 I don't have the vehicle but the trim level makes the difference. The m50 has the Hans Zimmer dynamic sounds whereas the edrive 40 doesn't unfortunately
@@SchwayZ I do have Hanz Zimmer sounds lol. I even paid for it and it's on my window sticker. I have the sounds, they just sound different. I'm pretty sure they changed it in a software update.
@@michaelc2254 Lowest Model 3 is 270 miles, others are 315 and 358 miles. Watched vid to see if BMW really had a Tesla competitor, they don't. BMW ICE M2 is the car to get. Awesome!

Speed limiter is found on most if not all European vehicles (it is even part of French driving license test)

Great review of features with enthusiasm. A long road trip range test would be good to see with normal driving.

Congrats! You're going to love the ride! Well worth the wait!
@@SchwayZ yeah test drove both over the summer. So fun!

Congrats on the new ride! Curious to hear your thoughts between owning the 2 once it arrives
Hi there. The old Renault ZOE has the speed limit feature as well.
You need to kick not swipe under the boot for hands free opening
The tailgate sensor is very finicky, I found the best way to activate is to put your foot in the center past your ankle and then quickly retract it. This works 70% of the time.
I love this car. And.after I watched this video I love it more. I'm def planning on buying this car one day.
19:00 mij Ford Ranger Raptor does the same thing 😂 in adaptive cruise mode it even changes to the speed limits of the road signs
I have this car with 20inch wheels and consistently get 240 miles in decent weather
The speed limiter was available on my old 2007 Renault megane man
Hi,
the theme you mention about the lights on the floor outside and the dome/reading lights, is also on the rubber/all_weather mats ;)
Thanks for sharing! Good catch!
Awesome video Schway. I've watched more i4 videos than I can count and your video had some features I hadn't seen covered elsewhere. My white M50 will be here in December.
Thanks for watching! And congrats on your ride! You're going to love it!
9:10 - is that Adaptive High Beam actually available in the US? I know the Audi Matrix version still was not available in US bc was still illegal?
Everytime I see an American i4 I focus on the orange stripe on the side of the car... It doesnt belong there, I understand its regulation. But! very nice vid!!!! thanks.
Very nice video, thank you very much 😀
Just placed my deposit on one. Dealer said about 3 months but will likely become a 2024 model, hope i have it before sept
Wow thats quick! Last year they quoted me 1 year
Nice review!
Thanks for the great review. Impressive car!
Thank you for watching!
the 2 Year Electrify America Charging 30 mins is Per days? reset after hours>?

The laws are changing.

Why no retractable sunroof option?
It is retractable!
Thank you for cutting the chitchat
Can anyone tell me ? if the steering is heavy on bmw electric cars?
I have an i4. It’s incredibly light
Passenger lumbar delete is due to the ongoing chip shortages.
got mine 2 weeks ago and they've removed belt pre-tensioner. not that I was planning on using it, but you know... a cool thing to have just in case.
LOL. 77K is a pretty good steal.... It is a 4 series for 77K. Rediculous.
Can you open truck and close it with Phone? As I know BMW KEY can open truck but CANNOT Close it!!!! why

@KNighTErRanTry yeah it is really odd. I wonder if there's some weird safety regulations that prevent them from doing things.
I believe this is due to safety.

Adaptive headlights aren’t enabled currently in the US
sucks to be in the US then; these work great; one of my favourite features

Wtf. I have an i4 and my start up sound is way different than that. Even the sport mode sound is different
Is yours the M50 version?

I wish it were totally silent
You can turn off the fake engine noise.
Close your bonnet/hood please. Looks horrible!
BEST NEW FEATURE............LARGER " Check Your Engine" light!
so many ads in this video... ugh.
I hate this car, it said 300 miles but it always gave me 220 daily
M50 220-230 miles of range? Fail.
The 19” wheels will give you 270+ miles.

None of these are new features or in any way cool.
17 speaker premium sound system is cool in any car...
