I can't say it looks exciting, like, at all. I suppose these cars are made for basic transportation (for the affluent), but man they just look so boring.

After seeing the E Tron GT reveal yesterday, this looks underwhelming.

Isn't the i4 supposed to be a step down from the etron gt? More the size of a 4 series gran coupe rather than an A7 sized vehicle?

Am I the only one who have bigger problem with side profile and rear end than with the grill?! This rear windows growing line bothers me the most. As a result we have giant hip and even 19" wheel looks to small.

Who knows? BMW hasn't released pricing, rumor is that the iX will start over $100,000, this will probably top out near there, guessing the M50i model starts near $80,000.

If priced right, the i4 has a real opportunity to capture some buyers. No one has yet to release a premium EV sedan that doesn't encroach a starting price tag of $100,000. Even if this has a small premium over the 4 Seres Gran Coupé, it will still attract buyers that are looking for a 4 Series.
The Audi e-tron GT looks good and all but at that price tag, it's an easy pass. |

Something tells me that BMW will heavily discount this car after 6 months in the market. I'll be waiting.

WTF is the surprise over the grille? It’s been seen for a couple years now. The entire group of 4 series cars will have very similar styling and grilles.

Besides the grill, the lack of strong character lines makes it look bloated (plus the car already being big doesn't helps). BMWBLOG did some comparisons w/ the concept and it shows even more.

What i find weird on the Audi is the blobs under the grill if that is where the tech is then that will not work very well here in Sweden. So it won't be practical. And that line after the front wheel arch that goes straight down looks a bit broken compared to the lower door line it doesn't flow with the rest of the side on the car. Nor am i a big fan of the black painted front parts of the car it looks a bit also boy racer to me.

If it ends up looking like this, it will be a huge missed opportunity.

Such fashion-consciousness here today! If the car is great to drive, has good range, reasonable recharging time, comfortable, spacious, and reasonably priced for the longer range version (probably the middle model of the three, the i440), I am not concerned about the grille nor if a body panel creases this way or that.
As to comparing to the Audi, doesn't matter how that looks or drives. It's an Audi. Awful experience with a 2016 A6 3.0T, from the car to the company. Never again, no matter what they make.
