I just bought the BMW i4, EV it's a week old today, 31.5.24 milage is totally incorrect, with an 85% charge giving me 170 miles way less than expected, door bins are totally rubbish, I have a kick plate, wow, my main concern are the vast amount of apps you have to mess about with, I have the Tech pack plus so have the head-up display which is useful, power is pretty awesome with rear-wheel drive, faster you go the milage will drop like a brick, there are some plus's but many zero's, things like the car knowing I'm turning a corner as I've put the indicator on it starts to brake itself, a bit unsettling, but also knowing there is a car in front it starts to brake. My previous car was the X1 iDrive 2.ltr twin-turbo, awesome engine but not as fast as the i4 to start the x1 would go to approx 150mph the i4 max speed is 118mph it's all the weight of the battery plus only 1 electric motor, overall I'm somewhat disappointed but it's still very early.

@user-cw9qn1nb2n 2 месяца назад

All very well, but how long did you live with it for? A month? Two months? What! Only one day? Anyone can do that with an EV, before changing back to their good old ICE. It you really want to review an electric vehicle at least have the nous to do it after it has been your only transport for several weeks. Then you can tell us what it is REALLY like.

@jeffgrimston4565 Месяц назад

Had one for a fortnight when my Model 3 was in the body shop. Good vision and typically light BMW accelerator pedal made it feel reasonably quick but tech felt very old fashioned. Motor control when parking was very crude and made reversing challenging. Extra £150 annual subscription for TACC a bit cheeky and crude manual seats were a disappointment. No wonder the Germans all buy Model Ys. 😮

BMWs aren't my thing, for all sorts of reasons, but I cannot believe that a car costing fifty grand or so doesn't have height adjustment on the seat belts. My last two cars - a Mazda Three and a Volvo V Forty - have both had adjustable belts and they were both pretty much entry level models. I'm six feet tall and my wife is just over five so it's a must have in any car that we use.

When are the ‘luxury’ car manufactures going to a) catch up with Tesla and BYD when electric b) cost the same as the petrol and diesel variants were pre Covid. I.e not a gouging stupid price that is not mainstream sellable c) have a cabin that’s designed for humans, I.e levers and buttons , d) last as long as a Mazda. Hmm, I don’t think it’s going to happen, might have to glue a bmw badge on a decent Japanese car , as all that’s left is branding . I’m keeping my Mercedes as there’s no car that satisfies my aforementioned requirements from any luxury brand

Extreemly dark in the rear, just about enough leg room for a child. The paint finnish looks like its still not finnished the boot space is more like a glovebox. 300 miles of driving from a charge is only possible if you only ever travell downhill with the sails up. Cant adjust the headrest or the seatbelt. I personally rejected mine when it arrived.

This is why Tesla's sales are down its because other manufacturers have now caught up but make a better looking car inside and out, Tesla's are a very typical US looking cars were in Europe we have a very different taste. Yes other manufacturers haven't the charging points dotted around with the ease of use like teslas nut they are charging points around now they just need to make them better, to me these charging points need to be built in current petrol station more or build electric stations that also sell food and have a person in hand so any problems can then be reported asap and also someone there for any sillyness by other drivers to other peoples cars etc

@drunkenwhiskeyeu 2 месяца назад

Precisely, Tesla's are ugly. That's also why Mercedes doesn't sell that well: ugly, but also expensive, so the Yanks can't be bothered. I personally am waiting until mid-next year with a new car purchase, maybe a bit later for when the new iX3 can be bought second-hand from the dealer. That will be a good-looking car!
