The new i4 has just arrived Turkey. And i sold my 2023 5.20i now time to change my car to this one. Hope it ll be fine cuz the old one was pretty cool rather than the new one. But no matter bmw is bmw. Thanks for the video its really cool and you mentioned every single detail about this chick mate 🎉❤
Just got mine but I didn’t get the $2k Driving Assistance, big mistake. So I guess this update will be my next one after my lease and free Electrify America charging ends lol
Someone told me the m sport with shadowline will make the grille have the same grille with the m50. Is this true? Or the grille design in e40 will never change even with shadowline option?
Car and outfit of Horatiu on point! 🙂 Thank you for this quick and nice review! 👍🏽 I hope that the charging infrastructure here in Germany will improve soon, then the eDrive 40 could be an interesting choice. Had a short test drive nearly two years ago, felt quite nice! Have a great Sunday! Greetings from Germany, Julian
Everything looks cheaper and smells like cost-cutting. Seats would be ok for 30k car, but car worth of 80k it`s laughable. I believe customers will see through what BMW is doing here.
I don’t agree, it looks 99% the same, and i’ll order it with these new fabric seats. I also love the M-sport package front grille, the entirely black one. 👍
I'm so happy that my order has been enqueued for production, 26th week which is the last one before the LCI. I do not like the new headlights, it looks really weird as the lamp was designed for two projectors but the LCI version has only one and the other one's place is just an empty hole.
Can someone tells me who in the world said yes on that display design? It looks like mini tv and even have stands attached to the car..... What's going on with those displays inside every car.
The new LCI is a mockery to me. BMW has become less customer-oriented. What kind of LCI? The laser taillights that are only available with the M Sport Pro package for €4,000? Or the high-gloss black kidney grille frame, which is no longer available separately for €220? The steering wheel with the plastic horn cover instead of being fully leather-wrapped? And everything will be significantly more expensive. BMW is just trying to sell the version with the M Sport Pro package, otherwise the 4 Series Gran Coupé looks terrible. (this is just my personal opinion)
BMW continuing its trend of sticking M badges on as many items as possible, it seems. Also, I can't imagine CSL owners being too happy with their taillights now being put on to e40 models
It will be interesting to see how well these EVs can compete with BYD in China, since they don't have any real competition outside of China where BYD is either overpriced or forbidden to sell cars.
Why the heck is it shown in China? I hate that since a while BWM is only focusing on China market and does not care anymore about Europe. I am very disappointed in BMW!
Still needs some orthodontics but overall they managed to tone down the buck tooth a bit and lose that beaver grill which actually helps, just a little bit more braces and this kid may have more friends someday in the future.
Exactly. Its ridiculous. I imagine dozen of overpayed designers spent hundreds hours and countless pc simulations just to create.....a beaver teeth and then put a number plate on top of it. What a great job bmw 🤣

This could have been so much better. We needed a better grill, better alloys, more buttons inside, but instead BMW chose China and went the copy cat route. Might as well call it, CCP BMW.
@@bmwblog I see, but a lot USA customer would love to have it, 3500 lb isn't a lot. It just make non sense to me Q_Q Isn't that also why Rear BMW i4 have air suspension to adjust height for tow lol
I don’t understand why you would say that. I own a pre-facelift model and it is the best car I have ever owned. My previous car was a 520D. The Kia EV6 is also a great car, but I prefer the i4.
omg put the camera on the car and where the guy points. stop focusing on the talking head, i want to see the car!

I like previous version way more
headlights are ugly, but taillights are ok
Agreed, this is bloody awful.
ĐẸP ĐÓ
Well done BMW!
I wish ground clearance was a bit higher
It's because of the battery pack
so no more leather central part og the steering wheel thats a shame seems like BMW is cost cutting
Agree. I like The design But The center is a shame 😢
@@_Atomic_impact yep seems like the best opton would be the g20 m340i id7
Just got mine but I didn’t get the $2k Driving Assistance, big mistake. So I guess this update will be my next one after my lease and free Electrify America charging ends lol
The Driving Assistant package really helps. I love it on the iX also
I wish the 3 series had that ' flat bottom steering wheel'.
i thought that but if you look closely the centre of the steering wheel is not leather
Maybe it will get the update this summer. There is one more facelift coming
Was horrified with first expressions of the grill. But it’s growing on me now.
I don't like the silver part they added on this calender
Someone told me the m sport with shadowline will make the grille have the same grille with the m50. Is this true? Or the grille design in e40 will never change even with shadowline option?
I think it's based on markets, so I don't know the full details
I'd like to see the two charging ports in Europe as well!
Eventually there will be one standard
So old alcantara sensatec will be not available any more? Which one do you prefer that or this one?
I think it varies by market. The sensatec is available in the US. I did like this new one.
Thank you for great video, does it still have DOOR welcome Wing - Light?
Yes

Danke, Julian :)
This was The edrive 40? Also xdrive 40 next to basic 35 and m50 version ?
eDrive40
Is it still based on an ICE car chassis with a transmission tunnel ?
yes it is, because it the same body like 4 series, also in tunnel there is battery pack, so it's not just an empty space.
Remember: The battery modules in the tunnel means a thinner battery pack in the floor (or just extra capacity for the same floor height).

Gone is the beaver grille. Looks much better.
Is this what the shadow line lights look like or this the standard?
Shadow line

why they still keep that grill
When get the 1 series released, because so much cars are coming out but this is like 3 years old.
This summer
Won’t buy one until BMW bring back the physical HVAC buttons. Audi has done it with the eTron GT - VW is rumored to bring them back with the 2027 GTI.
Can someone tells me who in the world said yes on that display design? It looks like mini tv and even have stands attached to the car..... What's going on with those displays inside every car.
Every OEM has those now
0-80% in 30min, what are they using solid state batteries now?
10-80% in about 30-32 min
It’s the same like now
Is this with shakedown line lights
Yes

Fair enough. Not sure how they are bundled in each market.
It will be interesting to see how well these EVs can compete with BYD in China, since they don't have any real competition outside of China where BYD is either overpriced or forbidden to sell cars.
It will definitely be interesting
Poorly is the answer unfortunately. MB and BMW in total accounted for less than 10% of EV sales in China last year.
Why the heck is it shown in China? I hate that since a while BWM is only focusing on China market and does not care anymore about Europe. I am very disappointed in BMW!
Because there is no other European auto show. So they had to show it somewhere. Paris Motor Show will have other things
Europe is so 19th century. 20th century belonged America, 21st will be China.

That or a model 3 performance...the bmw is for badge obsessed
One of the most stupid design that BMW made is the number plate being put in the middle of the kidney grill.. how design off is that!!!🥴
Exactly. Its ridiculous. I imagine dozen of overpayed designers spent hundreds hours and countless pc simulations just to create.....a beaver teeth and then put a number plate on top of it. What a great job bmw 🤣
I have a 2024 and prefer the look very much over this. BMW keeps making things worse, they need to fire their design team.
I love the way they try and hide last years hideous Franken-grille with a little sign😂😂
..how is BMW not bankrupt??
Believe it or not, this design is their bestseller
@@AykutKoc96 Ok, I live in the bay area where there there are quite literally in excess of a million Teslas. I think I've seen maybe four (five?) i4's??

They rarely change a lot of things during a facelift
Terrible wheels. Way too EV. Cannot see the blue brake callipers.
Some one please EXPLAIN why is USA i4 doesn't have cool SEAT and ALSO the AUTO TOWING HITCH? USA BMW sucks!
The towing is likely a regulation thing
@@bmwblog I see, but a lot USA customer would love to have it, 3500 lb isn't a lot. It just make non sense to me Q_Q Isn't that also why Rear BMW i4 have air suspension to adjust height for tow lol
More likely it's the US nannystate government not bmw. They want to control every aspect of our lives
Ugly car ...
Previous gen 4series ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Still that useless trunk!?
Why is it useless?
Its friggin huge. How useless?
No longer a premium vehicle. Might as well buy a Kia.
I don’t understand why you would say that. I own a pre-facelift model and it is the best car I have ever owned. My previous car was a 520D. The Kia EV6 is also a great car, but I prefer the i4.
@@grahamf695 The materials used are substandard now, cheap plastics etc and as for that stuck on screen in new BMW’s like a tacky Tesla.
