Hi there,
After lurking in this forum for a few weeks, it's time to come up.
I've ridden bikes (fond memories of my BMW R1100S and Yamaha R1) and many different cars (Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 Selespeed, Audi A5 Sportback and current BMW 435i Gran Coupe and more) over the last 25 years and enjoyed that a lot. And I'm now ready for an EV.
Actually, I must confess I was looking for a V8 (old M6 Gran Coupe, new M550i) to follow my 435i in a few years. But then parts of the south of the Netherlands (I live in Amsterdam) flooded and the climate reports came out and I decided it was time to make a personal change, instead of just complaining about politics not fixing things (which I still do ;-)). Then I started looking around for EVs and quickly found that they are not so boring anymore. The i4 has gotten me really excited!
At the moment, I have put down €250 for a pre-order, but I still want to test drive an actual i4 M50 before ordering one. I've too often experienced that a test drive of a car that I was really enthusiastic about got that car removed from my list very fast (I'm looking at you, 3-series GT). Also, I feel I need to really have a look at the Tesla Model 3, although I can't get excited about it (maybe because there are already four in my street, but that is a little childish).
Well, that's all for now. I'm looking forward to joining the discussion. Now I'm going to replay that 0-200 acceleration video one more time.
Regards, Vincent.
