2024 BMW i4 eDrive35 (car review)

BMW's i4 eDrive35 might just be the perfect entry point for a well-appointed electric sedan. Sitting below the eDrive40 Gran Coupé, it delivers 210kW of power and 400Nm of torque to its rear wheels, and all for around $93,000 plus on-roads.
Sporting European styling, our test vehicle came with the optional enhancement package that adds heated front seats, metallic paint and a panoramic sunroof for an additional $3,000. It's money well spent we reckon.
With no direct competitors (let's face it the BYD Seal Premium and Tesla Model 3 are in a different price bracket, and don't have the same appointments or build quality), the i4 offers an EV alternative to the traditional petrol-powered 4 Series.

just FYI , you can get this car under LCT as optioned (i.e with the Enhancement pack) , regardless what the online price says . particularly under a lease.

Novated lease pays no GST up to something like 66000 so that helps the lease come in under the threshold.

I didn't think the edrive35 had the active lane keeping assist (11:25). What did you mean that the car was following the line? I also do not think there is a wireless phone charger, just NFC connection point, but no charging. I also don't think the Harman Kardon stereo is available in Australia for eDrive35, only edrive40. Are you sure you test drove an i4 edrive35? Btw, there are no batteries under the hood. The batteries are in the floor.

Yes, we're sure we had an eDrive35. Lane keeping is not the active variety found in BMW's Driver Assistant Professional package, and we don't state that it is. Functionality comes in the form of lane departure (which will detect lane markings) with steering assist, which will move the car back to the centre of the lane, which is a rather rudimentary attempt at LKA, compared to the full ADAS system. It's part of the reason it was pinged by ANCAP (which we say in the video). The wireless phone charger is standard issue on this model in Australia, and can be found across the range, alongside wireless smartphone connectivity. The sound system is a 205w 10-speaker system (we're currently verifying its manufacturer details).

Yes, there is, I have the same car i4 35 bought in May 2024, a different colour, it has lane assist steering you away from being too close to the dividing line in the road and a charger for your phone in the front tray, also warning if a vehicle is too close in front and if a car is too close behind the rear brake lights come on. My car also has the Harman Kardon stereo, hope this helps your comment.
