BMW i4 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The i4 eDrive35 M Sport brings a 500 km claim, 282 hp and distinctive laser tail lamps to BMW’s compact executive EV formula. But it costs plainly more than the Tesla Model 3 from RM149,000, BYD Seal 6 from RM100,000 and Mercedes-Benz CLA EQ from RM274,888. Its appeal rests on the facelift’s specific BMW design and lighting kit, not a low purchase price.
