Bmw I4 Reddit
This is dedicated to all things regarding the BMW I4. It's a place for owners and enthusiasts to share their experience and BE NICE TO EACH OTHER. It's a great gateway EV for people who want a more traditional 3/4 series experience and it feels more grown up than my old TM3.

In my previous post I discussed the decision making process that led to me leasing a BMW i4 eDrive35 as the replacement for my Model 3 Performance being my daily driver. So now I've officially owned the car for 2 weeks, here is what I think of it so far. After trying out several options, including a new Model 3 and Model Y, I purchased a used 2023 BMW i4 eDrive 40, an immaculate lease return with 30,000 miles, at my local dealership for just under $35k.

The i4 M50, is a BMW first and an EV second. So many folks that have ridden in my i4 didn't even know it was an EV because it looks like a normal BMW 4 Gran Coupe. I really like this aspect of the car.
It is visually pleasing to look at but not really obnoxious like other EVs, and maintaining a normal car aesthetic hasn't really sacrificed much. The BMW i4 is my first BEV. I generally use Level 1 charging.
The key is for me to just plug in the car whenever it is in my garage. I tend to stay in the 50% - 80% range. So far in December, I have spent about $10 charging at home on Level 1.
Remember, it is a good not to charge past 80% on a regular basis.
