    I think I watched every i4 video out there. Like you style, short and concise. You are one of the few reviewers who get that the M50 does not aim to compete with M3 or M4, like you said it is more like an M340. I only test drove the e40 and iX x50. Will pick up my M50 at the BMW Spartanburg Performance Center on August 4th. Only a few days left.

    Ordered pretty much exactly the same car as you reviewed, i4 m50 with pretty much all extras except heated rear seats (i forgot to tick it 😅). Same color but with vernasca cognac leather M sport seats.
    Still no production date, but the dealer estimates delivery in august/september.

    I like this car a lot, I really do. The performance is there, the battery range is good, the interior is standard BMW quality. The only gripe I have with this car is that it shares the exact same platform as a gasoline 4 series grand coupe which comes with the center hump in the rear seats. Also, I am not a big fan of the rear quarter and rear look for this vehicle. For $84k, I need it to look different than a M440i Grand coupe. Every review says this is as fast as a M3/M4 in a straight line which I don't doubt but wait 'til you hit corners in this 5000lb machine, that hefty weight will be the biggest enemy to having this feel nimble. In everyday driving, I think the edrive40 is plenty good even being just rwd.

      So recently (i drive a M3P 2019 model), i started to use the track mode daily. Traction controll (ESP) completely off, F40%/B60% power delivery. This car is the perfect tool, its so nimble and insanely fast and hinestly the best in handling. Watch the latest video from "RSymons RSEV", he KNOWS these cars as he compared and OWNS them all.
      These is also an error in the video, the presenter claims a 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds, while it actualy 3.6 seconds (see video proof of carwow, measured with timing gear) BMW is claiming 3.9 seconds themselves. The car only achieves this 3.6 seconds when traction allows for it, it's a heavy boy and struggling a lot for tracktion, far more than the lighter Tesla M3P (which is capable of 3.2 seconds, even in the rain).
      Even in this video, he started the launch at 3:10, and at 3:15 we still see 98 KM/h in the dash. So again, proof that this 3.3 seconds is wishfull thinking.
      Regarding the tech, there is a abbreviation used nowadays, its "LAL"... It stands for Legacy Automaker Lag. Going back from a Tesla to a system with LAL.. No way.
