I'm a big BMW fan and I've been considering switching to an EV for just over a year now. The only thing holding me back from getting one is my need for speed and I'm so happy BMW is turning the i4 into a performance sedan. Unless something unexpected happens with the car it's my frontrunner for a new EV!

Yes they are. When a Model 3 Performance does 0-60 in under 3 seconds, and an i4 will likely offer the same performance, at a certain point you have to ask yourself how much faster can cars get from here? The i4 will likely be the last daily driver I buy for a long time -- can't imagine needing any more performance than that on my drive to the office!

AMEN!
So happy BMW is getting its act together.
The i3 just isn't the EV version of a 3 Series.. NOT. EVEN. CLOSE.

For sure, it seems like BMW has learned their lesson, hence all the comparisons to the 3-Series of the past.

Oh yeah, as a daily driver that's more than enough power for anyone. Once you get past that you're entering super car and hyper car territory.
