CarTell take
We haven't driven the i4 yet. On paper, confirm DC charging coverage on your typical routes. BMW Charging public network coverage in Australia is patchier than Tesla Supercharger.
Why consider it
- 600 km WLTP on the eDrive40, hatch-style tailgate practicality the Model 3 cannot match, and the new M60 xDrive cracks 3.7 seconds for under $140k plus on-roads.
- BMW retains physical climate controls and an iDrive knob after the LCI.
What to know
- 205 kW peak DC charging trails 800V Korean and Porsche rivals.
- Rear seat headroom is tight under the coupe roofline.
- Options list adds up fast on M50 and M60 variants.
Who it suits
Long-range commuters wanting 600 km WLTP without M-car running costs, 3 Series owners cross shopping the electric Gran Coupe body, and M-curious drivers chasing the new M60 flagship.
