It's too bad that General Motors doesn't sell the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing in Europe. I would love to see you review that! (You could get a grey market version of that car, though, as I have seen people do it for other Cadillac models with similar powertrains😈). That would really be a hoot. It's a real monster built on the same platform as the Chevrolet Corvette, with electro-magneto-rheological suspension that is matched with a 6.2 liter V8 with a 1.7 liter supercharger bolted onto it, along with a six speed manual or ten speed automatic (most American buyers chose the manual) and rear wheel drive, and Brembo Brakes. If you want performance, press the V-button, or else it will be quite a calm vehicle based on what other reviewers have said. But I think you would really enjoy that based on what I have seen of you so far, and based on what other reviewers have said so far. Or maybe if you ever come Stateside you would like to drive one then 😈! General Motors has said it is the last generation of gasoline Cadillacs that there will ever be, and it seems that they were trying to create a legacy, so bear that in mind, but people seem to really like that vehicle, although they don't review them the way you do. That would be something I would like to see.

Excellent review, not afraid to call out the shortcomings of this car. It looks very cool although because they didn't make a dedicated EV platform the use of space in this car is rather disappointing; cars of this size can have more practicality if they're designed to be electric from the start, not a compromise platform.

I’m in the market for another EV to go alongside my Tesla. It would be replacing my F30 330d and would be my 4th BMW, but…this is simply not good enough - especially when comparing Kia’s offering with their EV6. It’s a purpose/built platform (flat floor), cheaper, longer range, larger cabin (especially in the rear), faster charging, bigger boot/trunk, frunk, seven year warranty, non-overheating wireless phone charger, Vehicle2Load function… I *LOVE* my BMWs but I just can’t justify this i4, which makes me sad because it looks good (better than the EV6).

BMW could, and should, have done better. I’m literally a repeat customer and about to drop my hard-earned cash…their precise target audience. My opinion carries more weight than passing commentators. You know the Kia has double-layer glass (unlike the BMW) and check out the tinny sound when closing the Beemer’s doors. I think you’re very wrong on this one.

When you calculated the range, was that based on the driving in the video (repeatedly testing the acceleration in sport+) or more normal driving? I guess if it includes the accelerations that figure is pretty good really...

Great review . Does look a bit of a handful under hard acceleration. Some BMW's M cars can tend to be a be a bit of a handful for the fun aspect. For example, the 2006-2008 Z4 M Coupe/Convertible springs to mind. The Porsche Cayman/Convertible were like a fine scapel, the Z4 you had to grab it by the scruff of it's neck. Very fast and rewarding(and fun) in the right hands but some would prefer and drive the Porsche faster but wouldn't be smiling as much. Seeing the acceleration section of this video reminded me of the Z4. Seems like a few things could be improved anyway. Looking forward to hearing more on the efficiency side of things and wouldn't mind testing one at some point to try to understand if the setup adds to the fun.

1. That's fine, if you have 4 people or 5 and one of them is a kid. Do you know many cars where 5 people feel comfortable? I remember even Tahoe is not that comfy for 5 adults. 2. I am 1.75 metes high, the rear sit is very convenient. It sort of hugs you and holds your back very well. Off-topic: Actually I thought the EV with this amount of power causes sickness, but my son was absolutely fine on the curvy road. In my SUV he's always sick, that's why we sits on the front seat 3. Something, frunk is not really helpful, it's inconvenient to open in Tesla and overloading it affects the car behaviour. Nice feature, but not really essential. The trunk of i4 is very big, it's really enough! Just go for the test drive, you will fall in love like me!

I'm going to testdrive this baby tomorrow and if I like it I'll be ordering one. My previous one was a 3 series and the quality in general is way above what Tesla offers. Regarding the one pedal driving: I currently own a Tesla M3P and the one pedal driving really only takes 10 minutes to get used to and it will most likely be a bit of a setback going to the BMW. So making it adjustable, like in the Tesla would be a very easy solution.

I have an older 530i. When I take it in for service, I get a 3 series sedan or the comparable SUV as a loaner. They ride rough, particularly the SUV, and the steering is to the tight side. The 3 series is more fun to race around the curves that my 5 series doesn’t like but for cruising, my 5 series is just a better ride. And the 5 series interior looks and feels more luxurious. I’d have to drive the i4 but, if it still feels like a 3 series, then maybe I’d be better off with an i5 even though I like the look of the i4.

Ignoring the fact that IX is SUV and I4 is sedan which one of them will you give more rating in terms of steering feeling or steering control?

Thomas, can I4 hold the drift like a M3 can or is it neutered and behave like other RWD electric cars?

Thank you Thomas for bringing up the sound aspect of these new EV's! BMW makes the sweetest sounding inline 6 on the planet yet they pay millions of dollars for a Hollywood composer to make up spaceship sounds for the car. I just don't get it. Give me the sound of an inline-six!

Great car, nice (but not your best) review. I think you are not clear in your remarks about suspension and driving feel. Your remarks about implementing v6 or v8 sounds instead of space ship sounds are spot on. However, what would be more fun testing the 60mph figures yourself. BMW tends to be moderate about those figures. Carwow measured 3.6s to 60Mph instead of 3.9s mentioned by BMW.

as gas prices start to increase and will continue to increase it is a lot better to buy a hybrid or a full electric in this day and age

@@andrewcrump8853 They need better range. Or more robust SC network. Or both I guess would be great. I drive 350 miles one way for work sometimes and the total mile claims all seem to be very overstated compared to real world driving conditions. I think thats my biggest hurdle right now of going all electric. Range and SC network.

Thank you Thomas, have been waiting for this review for a long time, especially yours, since you are honest. Just sold my 530e and now i just can not choose between Tesla model 3 LR or BMW I4. Just out of curiosity, which would you choose Thomas? Don't like the Zimmer on my Bimmer, rather no sound, V8 or F-16 fighter jet. Keep up the best work!

I guess it depends. M3P is a bit faster, longer range, SC network and minimalistic design. BWM most likely much quieter, better overall quality, more comfortable and more ergonomic. For me, I have not had any BMWs before, but from these two it would be BMW. Mainly as I do not like too minimalistic design, center display and horrible road noice.
@commonfact9680 2 жыл бұрын
i think the lack of a frunk is to stop balance issues in handling, keeping in mind no air suspension to off set this.

At first I didn't like the i4 front end, but compared to the iX this looks far better, though it still doesn't hold a candle to the clean Polestar 2 and e-tron GT.

The i4 front grill is definitely smaller than that of the iX. Far less bothersome, the i4 is a pretty nice car.

i really like it, but I am puzzled about a few things maybe you can clarify...how come so much range difference between e40 and m50? how come m50 is so much heavy? do you know if the steering wheel precision is something that is only software? i am kind of surprised seeing their choice for the apps menu. it look really bad. of course it has to be different that carplay/a-auto, but still..bad. the lack of the frunck i think it's not platform constraint, but rather a choice. if you compare how typical bmw trunk is optioned with other brands that are more utilitarian (skoda maybe?!) then I think the situation is normal, although generally speaking more space is better and adding a frunk would have been possible with minimal effort on engineering side. Overall, great design interior/exterior, nice overall feel inside, good performance, enough space for passangers I would say. i really do not like model 3 interior, not a fan of exterior design, but it's better peformance and range and also software potential is used better. Is the i4 battery pack much havier than the model 3 pack? normally i do not play too much with the air conditioning, it's always on auto and 22C in the summer and 20C or 18C in the winter and some occasional adaption, but normally when starting driving, like more ventilation or lower temeprature when it's really hot in the car and then gradually coming back to the defaults during the dirve. still, it's kind of bad to remove existing shortcuts (buttons) and introduce more complex climate modes which are the also hard to set if they are deep down in the menus. 🤦 ps: e40 is rather an e30 performance wise...it's more an 330e rather than a M440i which is 0-100kmh under 5secs! sad!😕
