BMW i4 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The i4 eDrive35 M Sport asks a lot more money than Tesla Model 3 and BYD Seal 6 entry prices, so the numbers do not make it the cheap choice. What it does have is the BMW sedan layout, facelift styling, 19-inch wheels, adaptive LED headlamps with Selective Beam and laser tail lamps, backed by a 500 km range claim. Buy it for the badge, body style and equipment, not bargain pricing.
