Today my wife and I returned home from a 3 day trip to the Netherlands. Thursday morning we left for Goes, a small town in Zeeland, a province in the south of Holland. My wife had asked many times to go there for shopping, and I took advantage of it to register for a BMW event in Cadzand, BMW...

At this point, I don't even know if we'll be driving an I40 or M50. Looking forward to the drive and will report back later.

Pro Driving assist needs a software upgrade. The lane keeping function is clunky. The car seems to wait for the last second before it corrects in a turn and has a tendency to be jerky. I find it less than helpful on a long trip. You have to keep your hand on the wheel every 5 seconds. The system...

Hi all, Just sharing my experience after 10 days, hoping it can be helpful. Picked up the car 10 days ago, and I’m very happy with the car. You can drive very comfy or brutal when you want. The instant torque and huge power is amazing. Of course comparing to my previous cars I need to get...

My dealer got a couple demo i4s in, so I finally got a test drive in today. Thanks to all of the great info on this forum, I was able to focus on things important to confirming/changing my order configuration. I live in Hawai'i, so don't need AWD. Since the 0-60 time for an eDrive40 is only a...

Finally the car is here and ready to share the first impressions of my long awaited (11 months to be exact) i4 M50. I might update the review as I am learning the car. I will be comparing it to some cars I've owned, or own: Merc E300E 2021, BMW 330E G20, Tesla Model 3P 2022 (current next to...

My dealer got his first demo i4 in late last week and I got a chance to take it out for a ~90 min drive today. A friend and I drove my Tesla Model Y AWD down to Santa Maria to pick it up. I’ve owned 2 prior Beemers a 228i ragtop and an X5 45e and have always been impressed with the handling...

I love the car and look forward to driving it every time. Don’t give up on your long wait for one of these gems. As a novice iDrive user, I was concerned about using the technology for simple tasks like using the radio or controlling the HVAC. I seem to be picking it up quickly and like the...

So the day is finally here for me. My 16th July 2021 order was delivered today 29th April 2022. I will open this thread and try to keep it updated with my experiences as i learn to live with the car and go on trips. I have a pretty long 3000km trip planned between 4th and 12th of June. This is...

I finally got the chance to take an i4 M50 for a short spin. I was only the second person to test drive this one (after the event they had at launch). For context, I'm coming from a 2012 Subaru WRX STi, so AWD, fast, good handling, pretty much everything manual. No luxury of any kind. I've...

My wife and I test drove an eDrive 40 at our local dealer today. Temperature was around 35F. We were both impressed with the power with just one motor; we have a M50 on order. Plenty of power for the average driver but we want AWD as we live with snow during winter. My wife was impressed with...

I know there are a ton of test drive reviews out there now, but I don’t think I’ve seen much from the perspective of a BMW and EV virgin (or maybe others just haven’t admitted to it... 😂). This week I had my shot to get behind the wheel of a base i4 e40 and thought I’d share some impressions...

Hello guys, 10 days ago I picked up my i4 M50 Frozen Portimao with 19”. The car is a beast! I am loving it! Suspension very balanced, cloud feeling during Comfort mode and forgiving in Sport Boost. Steering not BMW-esque, it’s a bit Audi in it :) soft - refined, not that strong steering BMW have...

So, it is finally my turn as well to get the "future machine" in my hands.

Today I left home with my I4 that only had total of 220km of city driving from one week of ownership to a highway trip of about 300km. We know it can do it but what the impact from the speed? The temperature? Never had charge it outside my house, how does that work? And many more questions..I...

After a week of driving around, it does feel 100% BMW quality. Besides the new larger screen and new generation infotainment, don’t see the difference with my previous BMW That was also fully loaded.(good thing) About the driving feeling its a BMW but you feel yourself not driving but more like...

Dealerships in the St. Louis area are finally getting their demo cars so I ran out to take a test drive at BMW of West County in Manchester, MO. I only had 25 minutes with the i4 M50, but my goodness, it drove like a dream. I got to try out all of the drive modes and was absolutely floored by...

Got my car 7 days ago, and I have now driven almost 1000km. What an car! Just changed from 19" winter tires to 20" summer tires, 868m Night Gold. And holy f*ck, really recommend 20" if you like the sporty feel, way more fun in the turns;)

Stopped by Freeport BMW (Long Island, NY) where they have a demo i4 M50 on the lot for test drives. If you're nearby and haven't driven the car, contact Jonathan in sales. He's young, new at sales, and seems to be a fine person - and is happy to show people around the car. There's not much...
