Im wondering what the projected reliability of EVs will be for preowned and used buyers. Will we be able to pick up a cheap Used i4 in 4/5 years. Will someone be able to go to a local dealer and buy a cheap EV that s 8 years old like you can now with a cheap old used internal combustion car. I see 2008 CRVs with paper plates on the road so SOMEONE needs to buy a cheap old car so will EVs last? Will batteries hold up? Will a mechanic be able to do repair work on it? Is it only the manufacturer that can do work on it? because as it is right now, not a lot of people can afford to help save the planet because EVs are so damn expensive. Will they be more of a recyclable type of thing rather than going to the used market? Where will all the old batteries go? Surely they can t just be left to decompose in the earth at junkyards and stuff after they crash or be decommissioned. So many questions.

This car does nothing for me. It s seems a half-assed effort and it doesn t distinguish itself enough from the car it s based on. Then again, arguing that BMW should ve made it more distinctive would get you shit like the i3 and the iX, so I ll withdraw that statement. Overall, aside from the poor packaging, the weird long hood/crushed cabin mid-engine profile, and the general lack of storage (seriously, NO storage under that land barge length hood)it s at least another choice in the EV field.

I drove one of these a couple weeks ago and I was surprised how much I liked it. 65k isn't too much for a good electric car, and I'd much rather have an i4 than a Tesla.
One thing I didn't care for was that while you can turn the regenerative braking up and down, you can't turn it off, and I think it's too aggressive even in its lowest setting. It makes the car jerky. I don't like being forced into one-pedal driving if I just want to coast when I let off the accelerator.

Just curious, often you say the touch screens are responsive yet from the videos clearly they are not. Is this something to do maybe with how you film your b-roll? I'm trying to figure out where the disconnect comes from because on video they do not come off as smooth and responsive and it's something that's been happening on your videos for some time.

I'd like to see these guys get some front storage in there. Surely there is room if they'll manage space in that area. Storage there really is handy. A bit of a fail for the manufacturers that don't have at least moderate amount. It is at least good to see BMW taking the segment more seriously, as I want to see them stay in biz.

These will sell well to existing BMW owners! But I can't imagine a Tesla owner jumping ship to this product. Tight back seats, rear transmission hump, no front storage, inferior charging. It's just not competitive. 230-250 mile range at 70, 000 takes this even further.

You spend a lot of time on the user interface and the technology of the screens and infotainment systems but don t rank them at all. It would be interesting to see a video comparing and ranking the infotainment systems of different cars and which one you think is the best

4: 44 I honestly was always a little surprised that those 90s/2000s style door handles didn't make a return sooner since it's pretty easy to make it looks flush witb the rest of the car
