Did you get your M50?

The guy just said he is getting rid of it for a Tesla. And that back seat is small

@@tomkaidl yes got it! Love it so much

@@tabletsardar9366 barely have anyone in the back seats, infotainment system is top notch and fit and finish is amazing. Turns a lot of heads in all black.

@@chrisvincent5933 bmw doesnt need good infotainment, they completely killed it with their android auto support and the rediculous awesome idrive integration. as for the car - unfortunately its just an ice car retrofit, not a true ev

Long wait but I’m sure you’ll love it 👏🏼🤝

Ioniq 5 N will be the best

I think that Tesla will always be ahead in terms of effeciency. BMW along with other luxury brands didn't always have the best MPG but that didn't matter for many because they would top up the fuel and costs generally didn't matter. However for an EV effeciency matters because range is reduced and charging times are longer than refueling times. Maybe one day if the legacy brands invest all of their r & d money into EV's then it may start to catch up I guess.

What about the exterior styling? Teslas are fugly.

So which did you choose?

Which did you pick?

Yes that is a nightmare.

I think all that drama about fuel prices is temporary. And people try to heal prices by buying a car for the price they'll never spend on gasoline...

Yea right look at his garage it's all teslas.. this was a biased review. Teslas look so dull and boring man like wtf? Yall dont even have a HUD OR GAUGE CLUSTERS 😮 What a boring ass view to look at everyday. I see why tesla can cut cost so much😂 a single bulky ugly steering wheel without even a badge metal in the middle. A single iPad. Sure does look like the "future" in their 😂 doesn't seem like ur experiencing a sports car or a luxury car. Luxury sports car give u carbon fiber around the car, carbon bucket seats or luxury seats,HUD, full self driving and auto park, buttons that feel good to press not having to scroll and take ur eyes off the road, higher grade material sport steering wheel that feels cool too have ur hands on, and a unique dashboard across the front. U can make it feel like ur in pure luxury or a luxury sports car. Tesla is neither its just so blah. I'm mindblown thats ur entire dashboard still. 😂😂 people praise them for being a poor mans fast car and now I see why. Won't even get into the plain jane "egg"like look of the model 3 😂 not aggresive or mean looking at all. Shit turning no heads looks like basic traffic 💀

Crazy wait times. Loads of i4s sat at the docks waiting for parts to fix a recall before they can be delievred

Tesla live cameras doesn't work at least here in Denmark, BMW do work. BMW easy entry with a key fob, works like tesla Great review, getting rid of my tesla model 3 lr, coz of horrible build quality, ridiculous autopilot and Tesla poor customer service, going back to BMW i4 m50

@@RSEV …. Thanks for this. I’ve had an M50 on order for 14 months and am getting no feedback or communication from BMW as to reasons for the delay, or any kind of realistic delivery date. The car looks fabulous in reviews, the communication from the manufacturer not so much. So even a small hint as to the reason helps … do you have any more detail on this recall?

I don't know but what I do know is you will pay an extra £1,500 to find out...

My last bmw had the foot space issue but neither of my Mercedes do. My bmw was uncomfortable and my hip started to hurt on long drives because of this issue.

The e40 is great if you want range , the m50 is for those that want a high performance electric sedan (gran coupe)

@@22noobtube for a daily driver e40 has enough performance and range certainly matters especially in winter. A fully loaded M50 is Taycan money but you have to put up with super wide car - there always compromises and choices.

@@oldbasted you will be hard pressed to find a Porsche dealership stocking sub $100k taycans

@@22noobtube or you can buy a Tesla and get both.

@@tabletsardar9366 yeah, but then you’d be driving a Tesla 😂

Try Bavsound!

Spot on!

Or McDonald's vs a restaurant

The much better software on the Tesla sorta disagrees with that :)

Yes we detailed it and ceramic coated 😎

@@RSEV PPF as well?

What is the disadvantage of being a mixed platform? The drivetrain is still very efficient Frunk and tunnel are the only disadvantages (why do people need their belongings under the hood? Ok, get the 250€ wokeby frunk for edrive40; tunnel - name me a similar size sedan where the 5th person feels comfortable). BMW should improve the efficiency of the AWD version, seems it works like the xdrive - never turns off. Edrive40 efficiency is amazing

4 series has good aero, hence it doesnt matter.

@@kingprone7846 Most cars today have good aero. I was referring to the interior space. its compromised. Transmission tunnel, cramped rear, no front storage etc. A purpose built EV from BMW will be better still. The i4 is still a lovely EV.

it's not. it just has digital key as opposed to digital key+ which other cars have. Far easier to steal a phone when someone has it in their hand waving it about.

With a Tesla you just need phone on your person. Don’t need to touch it. Don’t need any other key. Why aren’t all cars like that?

Yes, the price is a bit crazy. Even the RWD version (arguably the equiv of the Model 3 SR+) gets to £60k pretty easily with a few options. And you'll be waiting a year or more for one, during which time the price is likely to go up. Price will only be set once the car goes into build.

@@paulkaye5076 isn't it similar to TM3/Y? Add FSD, white seats...and you are in the same price range

@@KDR816 BMW automated driving features are much cheaper than Tesla.

I own a 30kwh Nissan Leaf, i changed the tires after 4 years and 120,000kms driven, but it’s not a sporty car 😊

@@Luis-xr9ye 30kW battery= a lot less weight.

Model 3 Performance on Michelin Pilot Sport 4S were done at 25k miles. Although it wasn't always driven in a way that was sympathetic to tyres 🙄 Now on Pirelli PZ4s as per new deliveries and have to say, I don't like them as much. Won't be able to compare wear as I destroyed 3 of them in under 7k miles (Scottish potholes and English nails to blame).

@@kevinn1158 yes a lot less weight but heavier than similar size ice

Supercharger point made sense in 2018, now I see Tesla drivers charging at non tesla charges as it's cheaper. Also, you need this only when you are road tripping. How often do you do that?

Actually, at speeds above 50 mph, drag/ rolling resistence becomes the determining factor for range, not weight. And with strutually large supporting parts, for example pillars, cross members, the weight advantage isnt as high as youd think, compared to aluminium or thin high tensile steel.

@@leored79 Yes Leo, you are correct regarding mass and I found the i4 a fantastic drive on motorways and dual carriageways but on the back roads it rides smoothly but is the diametric opposite of the i3 whose lightweight structure makes it agile and very darty around town, in this context, there is also relatively high efficiency. The i4 is superb in some respects but also very compromised and the basic specification doesn't match the competition as we found when researching the options. Coming from an ICE 3 or 4 series the i4 is a great choice.

Hey Paul, do your numbers (250Wh/m vs 290Wh/m) come from the dash trip stats or from your own measurements? I had both Tesla Model 3 and a BMW (iX3, not i4) - and what I discovered was that BMW's BC was spot on, while with Tesla, if I multiply the number of kilometers driven with the consumption, and then compare it to the actual consumed percentage of the battery, there's quite a gap. 10-15% easily! I don't even think that Tesla was trying to hide something, it probably depends on how you measure it. It could even be, that BMW uses the simplest method - look at how much battery we lost, that's how much energy we spent! While Tesla tries to actually measure all the energy used in different places, and then misses something like the heat build-up due to the internal battery resistance, which is basically impossible to measure from the outside. But the difference is there. BMW is probably still a bit more thirsty, as in all comparisons it runs a shorter distance than the Model 3, while having a larger battery. But I believe the difference is much closer than the numbers suggest.

The delivery times are a shame though, I agree with you... :(

@@pqvid Yes - it was just using the on board computers' stats. I've never done a detailed calibration of the Tesla's consumption reading, let alone the BMW's, so I accept that these numbers can't necessarily be relied on.

edrive40 has better efficiency. M50's second engine never turns off (xdrive style)

The basic sound systems wasn't that good, but I liked the optional premium sound system of the BWM i4 (I think it's branded as Harman Kardon) more than that of our M3 and Y LR. Have you tried it?

Check it in real life

@@KDR816 yes it is ugly in real life

Of course

And the rest of the car is too.

Yep. It’s brilliant. Didn’t even need it but wanted it anyway 😂

This guy isn't unbiased at all, he absolutely kisses Tesla's arse constantly. As a car the Tesla is shit, it's poorly built, the interior isn't a nice place to sit, the wipers and headlights don't work, and the lack of a driver display is awful. Yet because Tesla fast and "modern" they're better than everything else apparently.

I'm 177 cm and seating behind is very comfortable for me

You have a point, but I don't think it's quite 98% :)

@@bigboibenz ok 97.8.

Is it with FSD and white seats? edrive40 is almost the same price (and BMW gave me 4k discount! So it's cheaper than TM3) has a comparable range (450-500 km without any limit), frunk for 250€, enough space for 4 adults, much better feeling, look, and comfort. Adding options is annoying, but you should find 30 minutes to do it as it's a significant amount of money. As an advantage you can spec much much more (towing rack, seat ventilation,..etc) Who buys Tesla if you can buy a better BMW for the same money. I cannot blame people eating at McDonald's, it's their choice There is an OTA, 210KW is enough, why is the peak power so important? Top peak power at Tesla is just to write it in the specsheet, in real life it's just for a couple of minutes

@@KDR816 Like you say, some people will pay for a badge, some won't. What BMW need to get on with is making EVs, not retro fitting ICE. Because whether you like them or not, Tesla will sell over a million EVs this year alone. They outsell BMW 2 to 1 in the USA as it is, and that's not just EVs, that everything- oil burners, the lot. Of course if BMW like the rest of the German Auto Industry still believe their A-Team need to be making diesels, then they are doomed. What is so disappointing is BMW are genuinely capable of making an incredible EV, they just don't want to. They dole out second rate tat 5 years too late.

The automatic windshield wipers that are totally useless in my M3 and Y LR are reason enough to avoid Tesla. They will wipe for minutes over a celan, dry windshield on a sunny day and won't do anything on a rainy day. The adaptive cruise control is terrible and just works to a maximum of 140 km/h. Which is a scam as the car is still equipped with front radar and was able to support atleast 150 km/h when i bought the car. I have problems with the heating, the windows, the mobile reception, the gps, noises comming from every part of the car. The consumption shown by the car looks good but is sometimes 25 % lower than what I have to recharge. There is no support for AndroidAuto and CarPlay leaving you behind without a lot of useful functions and connectivity. The max charging rate is held by such a short period of time that it doesn't matter. Up to 90 % soc the curve of the BMW is better. The Tesla service is a joke that can't fix a single problem of the car. Like the windows not closing because the friction is that high it triggers the protection. The pointless transmission tunnel on the BMW is annoying. But.. did I mention the "Phantom Braking" of Teslas. I have it atleast once a week and I don't know who would get this over any other car. No head up display or real tow-bar that can be tilted underneath the car automatically. No seat extension for comfortable seating.

I would test it out. Alot more seat adjustments then that of a tesla

Indeed, hoping to get my hands on one soon

And months later now, how are you feeling about the car and that decision? Has it proven practical enough and everything works fine? How does it make you feel vs the M3P? Of course now the new one just came out …

And also your friend thinks that huge grille looks better than eggs?

@@raheeb1 The new one looks like an AI generated car. It brings me no emotion either good or terrible. It's just so meh. The front looks like a Chinese fish. Nothing interesting at all still looks like an Egg. Still no HUD or gauge clusters or stalks. Car just screams plain jane. Also the bmw grille looks amazing imo. I've always liked it. The interior is on another planet. It's like coming from 2012 into 2024.

No. You still can buy them like always. That's just another option.

Do you read articles or just headers?

@@KDR816 watched all video… 🤪. Good that you can still buy it.
