Australia should get rid of LCT for a start

[@_nezmo_]

yes please

[@douchebagamus]

Yep, brought in to protect the Australian car industry… 😂😂😂

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

Unlikely to happen. Governments of both persuasions are used to the revenue.

[@sin_fc3822]

It was useful before car manufacturers left

[@davedonnelly8681]

With Tesla’s recent price cuts this car looks very expensive.

[@sailpro2001]

so go ahead ... buy the Holden Commodore of EV's and enjoy your resale price once the time to sell comes!!!!

[@davedonnelly8681]

I don’t think the bmw will have much better resale sadly

[@Alexander711]

If you have to consider price, then you are a Tesla driver. If you care about class and style, you get a bmw.

[@georgeallen2124]

But is it 25k better than a model 3?

[@chriso2553]

I liked the review and the insight into pitfalls with Aussie tax.

[@daithiheneghan458]

Pearl jam on your Spotify respect

[@coldude2559]

I'll wait two years and pick it up for half the cost..

[@perpetualgrin5804]

The smartest BMW purchase you can make.😅

[@RizzlaGP]

You can get a model 3 performance that does 0-100 in 3.1 seconds for that money...

[@user-ke3lk7ge2v]

How much?

[@Drivecomau]

It's in the review 😉 If you can't make it through though, the i4 eDrive 35 starts from $85,900 in Australia, plus $3000 for the Enhancement Package fitted to the car you see here.

[@CThienV]

Besides the badge, the byd premium looks more compelling. Hmm

[@MrVictorWu]

I drove it for a day. The adaptive braking is very annoying and unpredictable.

[@jimmyp1433]

turn it off

[@TB-up4xi]

Watch Out Tesla??? Do you need to put the word "Tesla" into every video on EV's to attract traffic? This is clearly meant to sit in an entirely different class than the Model 3 and attract a different level of buyer than the 3 which I think is more of a mid-level car - base spec v base spec it's 33k (56% more expensive than the model 3) This is clearly meant to be premium-luxury, it's like saying watch out Mazda or watch out Hyundai ..... because those are the cars (the Mazda 6 and Hyundai Sonata) sit in the same price bracket as the model 3.

[@sailpro2001]

you seem bothered... Tesla has been the benchmark for a long time... so why not compare. That being said Tesla are fastly becoming the Toyota Camry, Holden Commodore of the EV word.... super cheap with close to no resale value.

[@AzizBamyani]

I wish the new Tax incentives on EV cars covered cars older than 2 years too. You cannot fight global warming if you encourage buying new EV cars

[@sailpro2001]

at least is better than nothing.

[@irekfilms]

This is a combination engine car with strap up batteries and electric motor hardly an innovation 😂😂😂

[@paulbower2764]

Rich kids toy.....

[@chlim8311]

Smartest BMW purchase - probably the dumbest thing I’ve heard. This guy will be retiring in his 80s and still making payments 😂

[@gregturner_awod]

The BMW is a pile of European trash compared to Tesla. It’s a long long way from the “best value” EV, so wonder why you say it’s good value when the thing costs a fortune in relation to Tesla and other decent EV’s. BMW don’t have a clue.

[@sailpro2001]

Sure that might be the case... but Tesla's are fastly becoming the Holden Commodore of EV's - reliable, common and now dime a dozen!!!

[@AndreiGonzalesDesign]

A lot of EV-focused reviews disagree with you. BMW is the closest to Tesla in terms of overall EV experience against dollar value (Porsche is better but more expensive). So your EV options if Tesla is your baseline is: move up to BMW for better interior / materials, Porsche for the top of the line experience, and below Tesla, you have the Chinese brands, with BYD being the closest to a direct competitor to Tesla, but let down by the unreliable software and after-sales experience.

[@CNile-se9xw]

No matter what badge you put on it, it's still an EV & a bad idea. C'mon BMW, bring out a small affordable hybrid & left Tesla die in peace.
