BMW reveal 3 much cheaper versions of the BMW iX1, iX3 and i4 EVs

[@jonpetter8921]

Common Model 3 is no near i4 when it comes to general build quality, interior or cabin noise or ride quality.

[@joemartino6976]

I took my first long trip from Virginia to New York (about 400 miles) with my BMW i4 eDrive40 a couple of weeks ago. I left with a full state of charge and made my first stop at an Electrify America charging station 243 miles away. What shocked me was that I was still showing 110 miles of range remaining. That's 343 total miles including miles traveled + remaining range. That's far greater than the 282 miles published as the official range by BMW. I am very happy with my decision to buy the BMW over a model Y or a Kia EV-6. Range is great. Build quality is light years ahead of Tesla. Ride and handling are superb. And I find the minimalist design of Tesla interiors to be boring and appliance-like. BMW has been making EV's for a decade now. It shows.

My experience in Australia is the complete opposite to this. Telsa service to date has been far more convenient ( driveway service) and cheaper than BMW. That said, there is very little to service on a Tesla. BMW are attempting to perpetuate the traditional annual service model for their EVs, which is totally unnecessary but the dealers don't want to give up this cash cow.

[@prosserd]

My iX1 is due in January. I got the eDrive30 under the EV discount threshold when it was new on the market before all the price rises. I preferred it to the Tesla Y because the interior was nicer for me, I really dislike minimalist look interiors (opinion). The exterior I think alsp looks better, less like an egg and more like an SUV (opinion). I also think it is going to be far less common on the road. To me, the Tesla Y is like Holden Commodore of 80s/90s, they are just becoming so common that despite them being great cars I don't want one because of that.

Model 3 Performance compared to BMW I4 - great review I will post link Interior - quality - Interior material is just adequate (not a big fan of SensaTec) but build quality is excellent. However the best part of this car's interior is the sound insulation. While not as sensory-deprivation-chamber-quiet like the iX, it's still amongst the quietest cars I've driven/ridden in, and it includes my parents' 2016 S-class (the 18" wheels help). This alone sets the i4 apart from the Model 3, and 3rd party test shows it's about 4-6 dB quieter (which is very significant since dB is logrithmic) at highway speed. In reality it translates to a truly premium experience on the highway that my M3P was just not able to provide and was my least favorite thing about the Model 3. In my Model 3 I often turn up the music to hear it better but in my i4 I have turned on the music just to not fall asleep.

[@invitia901]

A bit over 400 km range in this day and age is way too little. Add kids, bagage and cold weather and what will you have, 300km? Double the range and it would be an interesting proposition. Once longer ranges are available in a couple of years time, the resell value will be low. Also the EV prices for new cars will most likely be lower. Financially it doesn’t make sense to buy an electric luxury vehicle currently, as a company car yes, but privately?

[@nas4apps]

BMW lowered some prices which is great in the competition with ICEs! The real competition is not so much with other EV brands except maybe (always ...) Mercedes Benz and a bit Audi. And yes, BMW is making strides! Luxury with a sporty ride - hard to top. But the price though - lowered now!

[@GaryJohnWalker1]

I'd maybe slum it and get the id4 or Enyaq (more space) as they have decent efficiency (vs non-Teslas) - but once Model Y / Juniper launches there'd be no competition. BMW did much better imo with the i3! Far more innovative, ugly, but gret space, "just" needed a more modern battery & motor. These ix1/ix3 - meh. Get the new Mini Countryman that's cheaper and effectively the ix1 if you must.

[@leomania]

I recognize that I'll be considered a bit of a wackadoodle for this, but 100% BMW... because the Tesla doesn't have a speedometer or any sort of information display directly in front of the driver. Kudos to Tesla for doing what's necessary to reduce costs in its electric vehicles, but this particular omission is not for me. The singular center screen on the Model 3 and Y make the car seem low-end.

Very nice but where’s their chain of BMW Charging Hubs ? Every single Tesla comes with a whole heap of chargers with reasonable costs per kilowatt whereas BMW drivers have to rely on what other chargers are about and pay through the nose per Kw. These old manufacturers seem to miss the point that its not just the car its the refuelling too all in one bundle. Maybe if these wonder cars can travel 500+ miles per charge then a reasonably priced charging network won’t be needed but the reality is they will be nowhere near that range so users will have to buy from the likes of Ionity or BP who are eye-wateringly expensive especially if you don’t have a pay-monthly account. We have an iX3 in the family, its quite nice but not in any way competition to our Model Y long range.

Your spending ten's of thousands on a new car, you have to like the feel, the look, the experience. Tesla's technical advantage's are exaggerated and it is probably going to compete with major innovations from German car makers in mass produced electric cars within 5 - 10 years. German companies have already developed electrical engines with advances and they are starting to put gearing systems that are designed to maximise torque efficiency, that fit within the EV drive system. The Germans will leverage their strengths; They will have a state of the art gearbox fitted right at the wheels and maximise power and efficiency. I suspect part of the decision by Tesla manufacturing in Germany is to build a relationship with German companies and form some collaboration.

The production techniques developed by Tesla means that they can make very large profit out of every car sold, unlike German firms who make a huge loss out of every EV they make and just a small profit out of ICE vehicles. German manufacturers have traditionally made up for small profits by the profits made in dealerships, but EV's do not need the maintenance or the amount of repairs that ICE cars do and with the Tesla sales model, the end of the dealership is coming to an end.

German ingenuity has a history of finding scientific solutions to it's problems.
