With the i4 m50, you get 317 lb-ft of torque, no waiting. It’s fast, and it looks the part of a true BMW (no, we didn’t forget about that new grille). But with the electric vehicle segment growing rapidly, both i4 models have competition coming from some unexpected corners. See what the i4 has to offer, and how it stacks up against its rivals, in this week’s review.

Natalie, you did a great job of presenting this car! Straight and to-the-point! More reviews from you please!
One of the best reviews of the i4 I’ve seen so far. Well done! 👍🏼
Nice review! Looking forward to more!
Very nicely done review, I ordered mine last year and can't wait to drive it. I hope you get to review the i7.
Fantastic job Natalie, awesome work!
Great review Natalie!
Excellent review. Very factual with helpful comparisons to other EVs. I ordered one last spring and due to many unforeseen events, I’m still waiting…but it sounds like the wait will be worth it!
indeed, I had 1 day of the test-drive. Was impossible to return it
I found this video extremely helpful, and I really appreciated it as we placed our order for this car 6mos ago and are still waiting, so folks should be prepared to wait a considerable amount of time before delivery (our is expected in Dec/Jan now, ugh). But, uh, Natalie's vocal fry is something else.
Excellent review!
Nice review, thanks!
This is a excellent video, with tons of factual information presented in a fun way. Subscribed as a result. I too like the grill, and based on comments with others, many who disliked it when it was first unveiled now have become neutral and some now become slightly positive. GREAT car! Super video.
Congrats, great review!
Keep the physical climate controls. Smartest strategy is to find some way to make this optional (some folks want them and some don't). Thank You for asking!!
A very good review. The only thing missing for me is a rear wash wipe I am looking forward to receiving mine soon.
Yes, physical buttons please
Really well done review. Looks like BMW did it up right.
Hell yes, Natalie!!
I suspect that there are a lot of consumers who would like to get into an electric car but dislike the bubble car / minimalist designs of most pure EV’s. BMW are likely onto a big winner with this, particularly if it also drives like a BMW.
I'm one of them, and I bought one.
Nice car .I just bought a BMW i4 M550.Picked it up yesterday .
Enjoyed this review. Where can I get the data for that charge curve?
BMW please keep the buttons for the A/C. This was a very well-done review.
Bravo for your comments on the grill. That was my thought from the beginning. It looks great to me. Although for a full EV, it is kind of strange to have them there at all. Seems BMW needs to come up with a solution for the front end without a grill at all. And YES... we want physical climate controls!
The people have spoken! Thank you!
I also like the grill. I ordered the same color in the video.
@@natalieharrington6630 I hate not having physical climate control knobs. I actually hate having finger prints on touch screen and will prefer to use the i-drive controller on my i4 M50 whenever it arrives!
They use it for sensors. And I agree the front looks great. People that complain like to complain about everything and peoples reactions are just ignorant knee jerk reactions.
@@EbNorth How much of BMW's brand valuation of $25 billion is due to 80 years of kidneys & why have EVERY other brand followed the trend to big GRILLES? BMW haven't been expanding for 60 years by looking like everyone else, doubled volume this century alone on new X crossovers & Amerikuh's largest exporter of vehicles 8 years running.
7:21 - is there actually a photo of Hans Zimmer hard coded into the i8 selection? 😂
Its funny because almost all reviewers comment on the door handles and the lack of room in the rear... I'm single and don't get my nails done 😅 so I'm good with my M50 order. Can't wait until it comes in March 2023!!
Can I drive base in rain/ snow. All wheel drive version out of my budget
Great review. No need for climate control buttons. They are on home screen of the display. I just ordered the M35 version. I don’t need the slightly better 0-60 or range with the 40. Should be delivered in May!
excellent!!
Great review Nat. I just test drove this car yesterday and is a beast. Unfortunately, BMW is taking orders now with $1000 down, and the waiting time is 12 months.
12 months?!?!
@@anthonyc4075 Yeap. I did not go for it, because I know that a lot can happen in 12 months and I would probably change my mind.
Yes I want the buttons
I still need people to explain to me why USA version have no TOW!!
Physical buttens is really important. It may be a no- but reason if they are not there like in the Tesla
No-buy teason
@@knutyvindmikelsen7918 Kind of a silly reason to not buy a car.
great car
For the last time , the i8 was not an EV 😮💨 it was a plug in hybrid
Brutal
After Test it, it will be almost 79000$ USD and not including Tax for M50~~~~~
On paper, the Mustang might be quicker. 3.5 sec vs 3.7 sec. Manufacturer claims. But in real life, BMW is conservative in their ratings. Car and Driver got 3.3 sec w/roll out. Without, the BMW will run a 3.5 sec 0-60 time easily. And in the quarter mile, the BMW slaughters the Mustang with 120 mph speeds. The Mustang gets killed by the BMW in the quarter mile.
He speaks the Truth!
Your tripping. Mustangs are slow LOL.
I have one. It's faster than BMW's 3.7 rating.
Remove the plastic cover inside the hood. Total nightmare.
Can't wait until my order comes through in 9 months 😭
just wait until you have to bring it in for SERVICE every month......lol.
my 2014 Tesla only needed maintance after 300,000 miles.
I sold it in 2022 for a PLAID w/ $25k over market price.
@@markplott4820
Sure you did 😂
Atleast BMW offers a loaner.
@@HOTPLATEGAMING - all I did was top up wiper fluid, Change wipers , Rotate tires.
did all myself.
@@markplott4820 Tesla interior is cheap. No comparison to this BMW.
👍
mercedes EQE is lame with 288 HP (for 350 4matic)
She does not get regen.
BMW I4 is much much better than Tesla model 3 and Y
Really a different class of car. There is a reason why the BMW is more expensive than a Model 3, and it's quality and fit and finish.
Yes. We HATE touch screen buttons. KEEP THE REAL BUTTONS FFS!!
ELECTRIC 4 Series puts Tesla to shame in exterior & interior looks ... Slainte' ! Cheers !
i4 is built like a COMPLIANCE car, too SLOW, too HEAVY and Inefficient.
Tesla model 3 LR has more range and Affordable.
i4 handles like a Taxicab , while TM3 handels better than BMW M series and takes corners like its on RAILS.
@@markplott4820 I really don't know where you are getting these facts. Tesla interior is cheap. BMW looks better and has a better interior. I don't mind is a little slower. I rather sacrifice a little speed for a better-looking car?
@@edross2826 , you are Projecting .
Tesla has a Fine interior for a PERFORMANCE non- Luxury car.
with a focus on High Tech intergration , Superior HANDELING and unmatched PERFORMANCE.
@@edross2826 i4 hardly slow.
@@markplott4820 U r the worst kind of troll & an embarrassment to the brand you attempt to defend.
look in the rear seats in the i4, there is still a hump in the rear floor, indicating this is a COMPLIANCE car converted from a GAS car base.
So what? BMW are elektrifying their entire model range while halving ICE production as they introduce 25 neu EV, incl. 2025 dedicated BEV Neue Klasse. What exactly is the benefit of "dedicated" BEV platform? Frunk? Not over 5 door hatchback. BEV take up EXACTLY same space & EPA size classifications as ICE.
So?
So basically if you want a German, under 80k, no frunk, with fake grills, and a BMW logo, this has no competition? 😉
That new Model S is a way better draw to me than that ugly Mercedes.
CarGurus - the BMW i8 was a Hybrid and a COMPLIANCE car , slower than PERFORMANCE model 3.
Which DIDN'T EXIST when i8 was introduced & debuted on Motor Trend's list of 10 quickest cars, duh! Again. i8 was no more "compliance" than were 6 figure Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren, Audi, Mercedes, Acura hybrid supercars, Tesla Hertz rental fleet sedans are NO competition, stop making the brand look bad!
You must not know the meaning of compliance. More and more reviewers showing the i4 to be preferred over the Tesla Model 3. And on the freeway in the 100-200kmh sprint, the BMW walks away from the Tesla anyways. A Model 3P tried me at an intersection the other day, he never even came ahead of my bumper 0-80mph. TFL just did a head to head. Only a.09 sec difference in the 0-60mph sprint. At the end of the quarter mile they said the faster i4 would pass the Tesla soon after the quarter mile.
Tesla offers 1000 mph DC FAST charging on all its models.
this can add 200+ miles in just 10 minutes.
and Tesla is the LARGEST American Supercharger network.
Tesla offers fish faced Ipads on wheels with no build quality and cheap interiors.
@@jw6188 - Tesla has cars that SMOKE Hemi, Hellcat & Demon. these are STOCK cars , the Tesla RACE cars are even Faster.
Yes, why BEV have NO global infrastructure & are having to be mandated into existence while remaining single digit % of global market.
Wish you could see the picture of the Baker Tesla Supercharging Station on the the way back from Vegas. Line of Teslas waiting to charge. Right next to it, mostly empty EA station.
The i4 can take 205 kw of DC fast charging as well.
And what happens to Tesla's competitiveness when the Supercharger is unlocked to non-Tesla vehicles?
The ugliest grill since the Lexus goofup. But this is uglier than Lexus!
How can BMW make such ugly supports at the back of the display.
BMW is trying really hard to make the ugliest cars on the road. Can't get past the buck-tooth grin.
Which drivers & owners don't actually see, only trolls, who type more about them than will ever be produced, free publicity for #1 premium brand.
CarGurus - the BMW i4 is nothing but a COMPLIANCE car, like a Prius, Insight, BOLT or LEAF.
the Tesla model 3 Performance and Model Y Performance are Better cars with Longer Range , Faster , better Handeling .
the Total model 3 & model Y all Variants will outsell the BMW i4.
its built like an old fashioned gas car.
Spot the Tesla fanboy...
While the i4 is almost certainly a compliance vehicle, I still came away pretty impressed after a test drive.
I’m going to miss the acceleration and UI, but just about everything else is more enjoyable in the i4. The seats are far more supportive during aggressive maneuvers, the fit and finish is in an entirely different league and the sound isolation is night and day.
BMW didn't issue their 1st earnings warnings in years on "compliance car" & since BEV are having to be legislated into existence globally (like safety, emissions & fuel consumption standards before them) EVERY BEV is a "compliance car", Toyota are biggest EV manufacturer on 2 decades & millions of hybrids.
Tesla may not even survive loss of their monopoly market, took them a decade to produce 1 million BEV, while ICE sold over 80X that in 2017 alone, why do you think BEV are having to be legislated into existence globally? Duh!
@@TheMacAttk i4 actually BEV of ICE that has already successfully sold globally for 1 generation, BMW are elektrifying their entire model range while halving ICE production.
very boring. car. review
Nice review pure junk ev
Waitlisted BEV, actually, troll.
