BMW loaned me this rather unique 2024 i4 xDrive 40 for a week with a gorgeous shade of Individual Mora Metallic ($4,500). Peel back the snazzy color, M sport packages and options, this i4 is unique as you can’t even get a 40 xDrive in Germany. After a week, it’s balanced blend of power, features, range, and AWD capability makes it likely the best i4 to buy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Highs:
+The i4 is simply gorgeous, and a fancy paint option makes it even better.
+I was impressed with the efficiency, coasting capability and fast charging speeds, especially for a non-dedicated EV platform.
+The interior is top tier well built, drive 8.5 is responsive and next level with technology baked in.
+It feels special, well built, intensely engineered, a true BMW experience.
Lows:
-Not necessarily a low but if you are expecting a performance car, this is not it. The xDrive40 drives like a well tuned and balanced Grand Tourer: good power, dynamic yet compliant suspension, quick yet light steering. The i4 M50 is the wild one for sure.
8.5/10
Dish out many exuberant options and a mid $60k price is not bad at all for this i4. I would consider one personally.

The automatic parking works only if you have an empty spot between two cars. The system was designed to assist you and not to park your car whenever you are lazy. It will not detect anything if there's no cars around your spot.

The coasting at high speeds sold it for me. This was my biggest peeve with modern EVs

Best feature ever

Nice review. M50 is great. One pedal driving is a great feature, like driving a manual - but i use it for local drives, not highway. AWD or FWD better for wet weather, no RWD for me. Just got an Xdrive 40 as a loaner. That's the sweet spot unless you must have the extra power. Main difference in range is wheel size, then tires.

if the cruise control is tracking your eyes to make sure you're paying attention, how well does it work if you're wearing glasses or even sunglasses?l
