Its almost a shame BMW pushed the M50 so much with journalists - gave it a bad name for efficiency and range. The 40 seems a great balance of performance, efficiency and range. Shame they still nickel and dime you on options but could be an option for my next car depending on price vs Tesla.

[@RobertPuklin]

True, this is the better i4 for most people.

[@dk206]

I've just ordered a i4. 29 weeks. Going with the sport version which some decent options (blacked out window, vision and tech pack) I think this is the first bmw where I'm not so keen for m styling. The m makes the front of car look like any other bmw 3 4 petrol series. The simplistic sport front oozes class. (Like a T visor. This is just my opinion of course)

[@hotrod182]

The single motor i4 is plenty quick for most people. On the Dragy, on back to back runs I got, 4.97-4.98 0-60mph w roll out, and 5.23-5.26 sec without. Both substantially quicker than BMW's conservative ratings.

The turn signal is a great idea. Hopefully other cars will get those as well

[@Likr666]

Actually I cannot see the benefit. These small lights in the display behind the steering can barely be seen by the drivers of others cars. Maybe they should be placed outside the car.

The windsock on the bridge actually can tell you how much wind there is (If it is built to specifications). It have red and white rings around it, and depending on how far out to the tip it is inflated, it shows wind speed from 1,5 m/s (5,5km/h) to 7,8 m/s(28km/h) or above when it is fully extended. For each change of color from red to white or white to red, the speed indicated from the big end is 1,5 m/s, 3 m/s, 4,5 m/s, 6 m/s to fully extended 7,8 m/s or above.

My parents ordered this. Good to see it is efficient at high speeds which will be good in Australia since you basically have to drive at 100km/h to get any where. They are looking forward to be able to get free fuel from the Sun. This efficiency will probably mean that they only need to charge once a week.

[@muffinz2410]

This is a great car value for money wise. In Netherlands it starts at 60k, way cheaper than Mercedes EQE and still in some areas better. Range and economy quite a bit better than M50, M50 is not simply AWD version of eDrive 40 - it lacks one of the motors and is lighter. Tesla Model 3 SR+ does not have more kit, just different things. And in many markets its more expensive to lease or finance than a BMW so that negates the MSRP difference

Not sure what i4 you were reviewing, but the eDrive40 of which I took delivery on July 1st is every bit as feature rich as the M50, but with lots more range.

[@coreyverisario6570]

Bmw is charging people 18 euros a month to give you seat heaters. Or something stupid like 419 euros for "unlimited access". In other words. Get ready for monthly subscriptions to turn stuff on you already have installed in the car. You paid for the hardware but you also pay to unlock to use the features. There is a large list of subscriptions you can get right now on BMWs website. That's where they will make their money up.

[@rafaelcruz2109]

Also, with less electric gimicks switch on all the time, is less consumption. Myself, I will rather have less gimicks draining the battery, and have more range when driving. Good work, as always!

Between standard audio and Harman Kardon, there is an upgraded audio system which I used to have in my old 1-series.

In Norway you ONLY have one upgrade - the Harman . Could be base is the improved one though

[@ashton9699]

The standard audio in i4 is same as what was typically known as "HiFi" before, it's less speakers without HK branding and Logic7 DSP, but you still get an outboard amplifier. It's not the base-base that used to be available on 1 and 3 series which was just basic speakers running off deck power, those were pretty bad, each front channel for example would be 15 watts nominal but shared between under-seat bass driver, mid in the door, and the tweeter.

A little disagree for efficiency. You have to compare same things. M40, RWD version has same efficiency than model3 LR AWD. But is 10/15% higher than SR+, the RWD version. 10 to 15% more than model 3 is a very good job, but it is not the same.

[@hotrod182]

The BMW is also much heavier, and much more premium than the SR+, has much wider tires 245/255, and is much quicker. 5.2 sec 0-60 (4.97 w roll out). And I'm sure it weighs as much as the LR and has just as wide tires (heavier weight/more rolling resistance), so it is actually more comparable to the LR AWD than you would think.

@@hotrod182 Who cares about weight ? I just see what i can do with a car. If it is 200kg heavier because of bad engineering it doesnt matter to me. If it needs wider tires it doesnt matter too.

Hi Björn, Interesting results, maybe I should try to challenge you with my new "old mans I4" without M-sport. I think you will get even better range results if you swich to ECO-pro mode that is natural to use for constant speed driving. Also, in that mode and using the adaptive regeneration mode instead of the B-setting( one pedal drive) the car vill free-roll as soon as it goes downhill. A bonus is that you don't have to keep your foot on the throttle pedal. Of course in order to improve the comfort and range even more, my car has the 17" aerodynamic rims. I guess you will not find a dealer demo with such "boring" set of wheels, but actually the handling is quite OK, unless you take the car to a racing-track. My car has an average consumption of 15 kWh/100 km, with a lot of short trips up and down a hillside for dog walks and mostly the AC working significantly. The hatchback rear door (for the dog) and my preference for low premium cars that are fun to drive made up a very short list for the moment (I4 and Polestar 2).

[@Shinael]

Hello, I'm looking now to buy an i4 too and I'm happy to see someone considering 17" base wheels as an option. I'm too, but when I asked for advice in social media i4 groups, many answered me to keep my Kia E-Niro, if I can't afford big wheels. I can afford them, that's not the point. I just want to know if comfort and hanlingon everyday and long trips are good, that's all. I suspect thes guys are just those who made BMW drivers bad reputation. So my question for you is simple: do you still appreciate driving your i4 with those 17" wheels, sir? :)

Hi Bjorn, why do you think "B" is better than "Adaptiv"? If you press the brake you only use recuperation. Only if you brake too hard, it will use the real breaks. And Adaptiv also means that you can "SEGELN" (rolling around) and save energy always if possible. Great car, great video! 👍🏻

Efficiency is the key feature! Great car

[@dangr3957]

Not every BMW owner aware about the free turn signal!😂☝️

[@billyrock8305]

🤔 🇳🇴

[@hamag1973]

About the turn signal. It's like dog owners. It's not the dog thats faulty, it's the owner. The diferens is dog owners can be educated. BMW owners can not😄

Awesome car. Waiting for 1000km test! Watching you from Ukraine 🇺🇦!

Oh the biener lover will love that screen lag so …normal

👍

Great first review and I’m looking forward to the 1k KM Challenge and that you test the M50 in the Summertime. I do love the i4 even its a bit tooooo fat

[@mustafaassad2916]

You can't buy the i4 40 in the UK with technology plus pack which offering driving assistant professional (auto steer) you will not even have a blind spot monitoring or 360 camera. Only you can buy adaptive cruise control from connected drive for £600 😞 this stopped me from ordering the car

Hi Bjorn, Can you do a review of the Zeekr 001?

[@martink.9442]

Ioniq go home? 🤣😂😅 No one beat the Ioniq. At 90 kph my Ioniq consumes under 10 kWh. Every competitor can go home. 😉

Hello, congratulations for the good work of information in this energy transition. I'm decided to opt for Ev's in the company and as a personal car, too bad the delivery time is out of control. Hugs from Portugal.

[@petestewart7116]

Really glad there is a review out there that doesn’t have all the options. Unfortunately I can only afford the poor man’s BMW, it’s good to see what you actually get from someone.

[@pqvid]

Bjørn, the % at destination you saw with the other BMWs were probably inside the route planning, as you were doing the 1000km challenge with both of them. That’s the only place I’ve seen „charge level at the destination“ in a BMW.

[@victorfrombcn]

It's also on the dash in the BMW iX

[@Sharctic]

Random men kjørte du på Lørenskog i dag? Marcus bil på døra og ligna på deg inni😂

[@mikkdoo]

Waiting for the i5 and hope to get one in this century

[@LowOnCash]

Great Video what kind of idiot would order a stripped out car with manual seats but spend the money on a HUD - Hello . . . . . Regards - Mike

[@sphinx2k210]

Missing a lot of options, and they charge $100k AUD (€ 67,500) for this "poor mans bmveee".... !?

[@robru]

Head up display, adaptive dampers and electric seats are all in the option packs. One thing that I was surprised at when I bought mine was that full beam assist was a £150 option. The car tells me it’s an aquirable option. Good news is you get a 300 mile motorway range!
