The i4 is destined to be a very successful product. A 590km range, 340HP and a 5.7 blitz to the ton! Sublime. eDrive40 all the way!

Most of people will choose BMW i4 over kia ev6. Because BMW is always sheer driving experience 🔥💥

[sankhdeepmitra]

By current standards, this is the most exciting BMW under 1 Cr. I wish it was offered in more color choices.

[drthirteen]

Even in Mumbai, Delhi, Hyd this type of ground clearance doesn't help especially for electric cars where sensitive batteries at bottom its very risky (range - 💯, Ground clearance - 0)

[abheetjain]

woah!! waiting for the next video nikhil bro....just what i wanted to know...

[amaljoe]

The design keeps growing on me. I hated the new design language so much when it was launched

[sudheeshv]

Even thought i like electric cars concept of saving the environment, still i cant hear the noise which roars from the engine of gasoline cars !!!

[hotteth]

Kindly note that as mentioned you’re just below 6 ft tall.. which most Indians are definitely not and not as big as well. So I believe people would be definitely be 30-40% more comfortable in the rear seat.

[CruisingWheels]

Bring the 4er to India, we have the i4 and the M4 Competition as well

[allwindesigns]

WHY!!? I agree that we all cannot get comfortable with digital climate control, but we must adapt it. I have seen people commenting they need high-tech features in the vehicle and also a knob for controlling AC. Also I know, Its very difficult as its impractical to drive and control at start but people will get use to it. And Hi to Gavin.

[nixndme]

Thanks much for the clarity. i think i will settle for BYD Seal.

[iamshikhersrivastava]

6 lakh ki Swift me keyless entry milti hai 70 Lakh ki bmw me nahi hai 🤦🏻‍♂️

[nipunsharma]

I would still say that the range is short by at least 100 kms. It should deliver 500+ km range in real driving conditions to be considered compelling. Call me greedy, but that would really hit the sweet spot for all kinds of driving conditions where regen braking isn’t available all that much. Also, if there are good discounts available, like 10-12 lacs, bringing the ex showroom price down to 60Lacs, this is a the first real EV I would consider buying after my Octavia 2022.

[akshayparab]

4 star? Not 5? For such a heavy price? Im out.

[arvi]

Everything is so pleasing except the oversized kidney grills.

[doxterstockman]

Price is good for a BMW electric car.. but there is no 360° camera ? 😕

[shalemjackson]

I have to say I don't like the new grill BMW is introducing in all its cars, the rest of the car is beautiful though. Also, when did car dashboards become so boring? Just a huge bar of screens and no design at all. Looks like the dashboard was just an after thought and was solved by just sticking up a long screen. I miss the tactile nature of previous dashboards. The premiumness of metallic buttons. I hate how everything is becoming touch screen.

[afsalrahim]

Looks awesome, except the stupid front grill. Also 125mm for India :(

We were on the same road, two days back. #Leopardtrails, #throttleshrottle
