Hello, I just sent my build code to the dealership to put my order in for my i4.
This is the first car I've been able to order exactly the way that I want it so I'm excited!
My build is an eDrive 40 M Sport in Sapphire black with Mocha leather interior. It's so pretty

I also am in California. Did you just email the dealer? What are we supposed to do exactly? I called and they said a BMW i manager will call me back and they never did.

Pick your dealer, design your car and click to order. The information will be sent to your dealer with build out you selected.

I'm surprised to see people going for the M-Sport exterior on the eDrive40, I personally prefer the non M-Sport styling, it also has a better Cd of 0.24, M-Sport is 0.25.

My dealer emailed me and then I just sent him my build code.

I am ordering all the M options for the edrive40, so that I will have almost an M50 with a single motor and so 96% of the range of the edrive 40.

I am looking for the handling as I plan to drive a lot in the mointains, but don't need the higher speed and acceleration.

I'm in Southern California (OC area). Only discovered the i4 just before Thanksgiving. Got with the dealer the Monday before Thanksgiving to place my order for the EDrive40. I am in the order bank with the dealer waiting to get an actual order slot. He said he won't know anything more until sometime in January for the order and any potential delivery date. Going to be a long wait.

Hi quattrocoupe! Welcome abord.

You don't even know what waiting is like.

Many of us have been the i4 since the concept vehicle was show in November 2020. Preordering was opened last june 1 and with it additional suspense until the order bank was opened at the end of november.

I guess the so called preorders are closed now so you are going straight to the order phase.

Everyone will be interested to hear when you get a build date.

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome! I can't imagine how the anticipation must be knowing about the car in 2020 and then ordering in June! Kind reminds me of my Mini Cooper wait back in 2002/2003. Good things are worth the wait for sure.

I'll be sure to report back when I get a build date.
Merry Christmas!
