Bimmer Bjørn on the road. I like!
Beaver-Bimmer Bjørn 🙃
"Charging like a bouss" love it 4:10
Most impressive performance in winter considering the level of comfort, performance and price. Was obvious BMW would nail it. Now imagine longe-range i4 eDrive40 in summer conditions and admire its efficiency and close to record time
Well, it’s a very pricy car in my opinion (at least with some options). And there are other cars in the list achieving very similar times but are way cheaper. Comfort and ride quality are good for sure…and of course it was never cheap to drive BMW. ;-)
@@monsieurb90 It is far more than only ride quality. It is design, comfort, luxury, personalisation, hatch practicality, faster charging
Maybe we have different views in things but how does bmw "nailed" it???
Avarage speed: 98,4 kmh
Avarage consumption: 27,4 kw/h
Car weight: 2.4t.
Sorry, but these numbers are far from being good in 2022
@@jojajo2707 Mid-size performance luxury car in winter? no, it's good lol. You just know nothing
Excellent Video and Summary - Thank You Bjorn
4:42 . Everything. That is just brilliant.
Great videos! Keep up with the consistency! Greetings from Brasov, Romania!
Looks like a nice car! Love the charge session data in the BMW app.
Great job reviewing the M50, loved the live 1000km test! Hopefully BMW will give you an i4 eDrive40 to review soon?
Hans Zimmer is the king 🤠
Great video Bjørn, any plans for the i4 edrive40? The M50 has got the punch I need, but is out of my budget.
Really interesting!!!! Thank you for the content
Complimenti per i tuoi video
Haha you kill me..."Double french hotdog penetration" 14:30 and of course thank you for the great review.
Dude! How am I just now finding your channel? Most entertaining and informative BMW i series videos on YT. I take delivery of my I4 edrive40 tomorrow.
Double French hot dog penetration? LOL!
Great result in winter, lots of wind and rain on top of it. Thanks for testing!
Thanks for another great update video
Hope you can get hands on the RWD Model. This should be very efficent. But BMW has miscalculated the needs of his custumers. All I4 will be sold out until early 2023.
Agreed. RWD with 17" wheels should be considerably better for fast long range trips. RWD i4 should have 3 kWh larger battery as well.
Eco Mode can also be customized in my current BMW G21. So if you only choose to set Eco for the engine, a better consumption can be achieved.
I ordered a I4 40e today, delivery will be in 12-16 months. 😵💫 Hope BMW will speed up the Elektroautoproduktion.
Very impressive indeed!
Would be interesting to see the same Challenge with the normal i4-Version on 17' Rims.
It can go same long as Tesla.. somebody already tested this
No
im interested in the i4 edrive40 msport. i wonder how good the range is and what the 1000km challenge looks like with a single motor which the edrive40 has instead of the dual motor m50 version
Best food channel to learn german :D Oh, and nice EV tests as a nice side effect :D
Great test snd great video - as always Bjorn. You could save a few minutes by overcharging a little, so battery is always above 10% on arrival to next charger.
But when I overcharge I only get about 100 kW vs 150 kW at arrival.
@@bjornnyland I thought thst when you have more than 10% the car will pre-heat the battery and charges faster... (No colld gating).
Anyway ABC:
Always
Bjorn
Champions
Thank you for all your tests - most informative for both - potential buyers, and (I hope) manufacturers
I have owned both Tesla and BMW, at the moment I have a Tesla. My opinion is that Tesla and BMW are aimed at different people. Tesla is for tech lovers and those who want the best of the best of what makes an electric car, an electric car. BMW is aimed at people who care more about what makes a good car, a good car. I still think, Tesla makes the best parts of what makes an car electric. But every other similarly priced premium car manufacturer makes everything else better, meaning everything that all cars have regardless of what it uses as fuel, steering, suspension, seats, sound proofing.
@x xznn_x because of everything he wrote in his post above. Not everyone cares about low consumption and a big screen.
Because Tesla doesn’t resemble a proper car.. we grew up on german cars here. People are used to quality, nice interior, specific design language. Tesla looks like a Chinese shitbox. Technological gap is the easiest to close. German cars will kick Tesla out of Europe soon, it’s actually already happening.. Where I live, a year ago everybody was buying Tesla, now nobody is even shortlisting it.. there is too many better options that you can actually call a car. I test drive a Model Y recently, coming from a 11 years old Audi.. I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry.. it’s really bad car, but yes, it has nice TV… lol.
@x xznn_x legacy brands do luxury better and have a more premium image, especially Porsche.
As a long time BMW owner: great drivers’ cars, great quality build. Excellent video, Bjorn. I was looking at your video in planning my next car, but it confirmed that for me that however good the engineering, the design is completely unacceptable. Ugly front and stick-on screen. Current 335i, owned from new, will be my last. Beyond disappointing. Great video though. Thx.
go for it, i love it!!!!! I think so too!
Comfort and peace and quiet as well as HUD are my priorities so the I4 is for me just can’t understand as the to spec one like my 330e which was £42k list £48 will cost over £64k.
Thanks for the review! It was helpfull. 🤗
Great video. I am always amazed at the amount of videos you manage to produce and the enormous hours of work behind them. 👍 Would be cool if you could do an update winter test for the newest 2021 Model 3 LR with the 82kWh battery. I drive it now for 2 months and 4000+ km and just did a 1000km ride to Poland (not any test condition) and had 185Wh/km overall including periods of 120kmh in heavy rain and snow and a stretch of 150kmh. purely on 110kmh max over 400km it had 165 Wh/km. So i would wager that it could also do the winter run of your 1000km challenge in under 10hrs.
Plus all clean and no bs talking only calculations on facts and no imagination like other youtubers
@@Elektroauto1984 exactly. and in a voice that you can easily listen to without your toenails curling up - like I feel it with some youtubers which I simply could not listen to. Björn is simply the best.
Same for me: Amazing how many hours Björn sits inside the cars for entertaining and interessting videos.
Besides that, do I also own a M3 82kwh LR and for example yesterday I did 160km on the Autobahn with 150km/h max and average was 160wh/km which resolutes in over 450km real range.
It is like driving a petrol car, just without the need for going to the pump :D
@@ChannelPotato Wow 160wh/km with those kind of speed is crazy good!
@@xeon2k8 Thats right the end average was 107km/h but nevertheless is it really efficient in my opinion.
Thank you for your hard work, this is unvaluable.
Like the music and the birds
Another great 1000km challenge! Based on this challenge, what range can we expect from this vehicle on a full charge?
Please consider doing a Olso - Stockholm roadtrip now when the countries open up! :) Would be cool to see!
Tengo muchas ganas de ver los resultados de esa prueba con el Kia EV6 GT line 229 CV RWD
Nice video, Bjørn. Thanks for all the tests you performed, very fun and informative, as always.
I have this car on order but I'm still considering whether to flip it or not. I guess it's the best we can get right now for us looking for a car that offers a sporty driving experience with a proper overall quality, especially in the cabin.
BMW software developers could have a better sense of UI and UX so the the infotainment system is a bit nicer, but at least it's rock solid, stable and performance-wise it's ok. We have to remember that this specific car is still pre-production, and probably the software will get a lot better with the 07/22 and 11/22 updates. The app is also very good, something I understand not many other premium manufacturers can brag about.
Cheers!
fantastic car
Excellent video. Can you simplify the result for me? Across the 1,000km in cold conditions and averaging ~110km/h what was the average mileage per Kw/h?
I am trying to assess whether the i4 40 will have the range I need or whether I’m going to have to stop occasionally for a charge!
Really would like to see an M50 on 18” wheels and more eco focused tires like Michelin MXM4 that are known to be drastically more efficient than P Zero Elect.
Have just ordered a i4 edrive 40 Sport to replace our Enyaq. Bmer is on another level. So planted and smooth. What software are you using on the phone for this car?
"Comon' go go go Beamer... or Beaver!?" 🤣
the range map on the BMW is primitive; it is just a fixed radius, and not a real shape that takes into account raids and elevation change etc like in the I-Pace, Taycan, Mercedes EQ cars etc.. Come on BMW!
What's the video that you did that is about the correct notations for these metrics? I remember it was about 2 years ago. I want to make sure I'm correct in what I'm saying.
Great review. Starting to quite like the look of the BMW I4 somehow. Now before you get too comfortable with all the newer long-range cars, wouldn't it be fun, if you did the 1000 km challenge in a MINI Cooper SE?
let´z say a 500 km challange :D
Afaik the i4 has a heat pump. So your consumption results show in my opinion that either it is not working or is working very very badly. Other tests done in much warmer weather show a total different result.
Bugs Bunny: I quite like the look of the Bavarian Auto. Duffy Duck: I prefer Model 3.
Can you test the BMW IX 40?
I want to see the new 2022 model s long range do this. Or even plaid for fun
Bjorn, can you test the i4 e40, please 🙂. Thank you! I don't know what to choose between i4 E40 and model 3 long range.
Should call the test Bjorn My Wagen for this one 😉
08:50 When searching for "ionity hel" all the search results had Finnish street names, so i guess BMW thought you wanted "ionity helsinki", hah.
The i4 can take you to HEL and back 🤣
Badass car!
pretty and nice car, unfortunatly if you want to buy one you need to wait nearly 1,5 year here in Belgium.... :-(
20:40.... "Just came" .. haha priceless :D
It actually start with 17” wheels.
I was going to get one, but this year they increased the price by over 10% in my country. So a i4 40e with basic equipment costs around €70000.
I want an EV that can drive 300km at 130km/h. I really don’t like the Tesla, so now I plan to wait to find out if an EQE will fit my budget.
I like the average calculation of charging power , please do it more often.
Not possible.
How long it was the full trip with charges included???
Will you do a 1000km challenge with the I4 edrive 40. It should be even faster since it will have less consumption.
No charging speed display in the car? What were they thinking???
😂😂 a lot of laughing here for your great entertainment, good one. i4 could be an option some time, but prefer waiting for the next 5 series.
Hey Bjørn! Love your videos! I got a request. Could you please upscale your videos to 4K before uploading? Ideally shoot with a 4K camera, but just up-scaling good 1080p like you have to 4K gets you half the way there. The reason is TH-cam has terrible compression at 1080p...
I considered it.
Like this car more and more.
Do you get a chance to challenge the eDrive40?
Great video, nice hotdog!
Love BMW🥰
Hey Bjørn, In regards to the ambient noises from the road.. Can you start doing some decibel tests for the cars? It would be another useful metric :) Cheers from Copenhagen
Check out the excel files he is mentioning.. there are plenty of decibel test results there
Welcome to my channel. I have done tons of noise tests. Check out the spreadsheet and look in the playlist called "acceleration and noise tests".
@@bjornnyland *sad shrieks* .. Been watching for a while but never saw you already had that going.. Cheers though
True BMW parking at Varberg... 😁
I have been following most of your videos for 6 years now but I just cannot figure out what this "Speceret speceret" thing is :D
Im not a fan of EV, i think a nice car should have a inline 6 or V8!
But your content is good, and you are a funny guy , so thanks for another nice video and please come back to Sweden soon :)
Correct 😂
Nicely done. Still not comfortable with the charging calculations. May rewatch and work through the calculations. For convenience on long trips why not just charge to 100% - or nearly if charging slows down?. Thanx for your efforts.
Because it's slow.
я на поло проеду за 5 часов!
Danes can get cheap flat rate charging subscription with Clever/Eon with unlimited charging on the network in Denmark, Germany, Sweden and Norway it’s much much cheaper than Tesla superchargers 💪👍👍🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
damn is that a massive notch on the screen wtf ...it's good that most of the time u can't see it
luv u videos
14:42 what is the name of this song please?
Song from @2:28 - 3:10 ...Mixtape by Mansij. (I incorrectly thought it was Someday by Rebecca Hart)
Could you re-do the 1000km challenge with XC40 P8 when it gets the 2.0 update (Q1/2022)?
I will buy it 🙂
Like a boss
Another excellent video. I have a motor insurance query. When you recommend a new model of vehicle such as this, it is important to potential customers to know whether an insurer will offer cover for it and not fall foul of the same nonsense as I just have, for another new introduction to the UK, the brilliant Tesla Model Y.
The main sponsor of the excellent "Fully Charged Live UK 2022" show in Farnborough, LV Insurance, declines to offer UK cover for the Tesla Model Y - even for loyal customers of its motor insurance. Does this apply to any new to market model in Scandinavian countries?
I have a Model 3 insured in the UK with LV and will be taking delivery of a Model Y in 12 days time. On the 10th February 2022, LV declined to offer cover on the Model Y as ".. their underwriters have not assessed the vehicle and so, LV cannot confirm that they will be offering any cover on the Model Y at any point or indeed, if at all". LV have told me to take my multi-vehicle business elsewhere.
LV formally emailed me same day, to say that they are "pleased that they have been able to resolve the complaint"
Is this unique to the Tesla Model Y in the UK do you think?
"Laik ah Baawssee!" 😂
14:22 the moment we all been waiting for
20:44
20:49, tell me the song name please 🙏🏻
BMW parking Klub 😂😂😂😂 💯 funny
Teslas look like budget electric cars when compared to the German counter parts!!!
Does the car pre condition the battery if you plan a long route with bmw maps?
When planning a long route with bmw map can you tell it what network chargers to use?
No. You need Tesla for this kind of things.
Actually it does pre condition but not if the battery is low.
👍
All this customisations in the UI only try to fix a menu that is too deep imho
Hej Bjørn, although still driving a diesel MHEV car, I am great fan and follower of your channel. I really appreciate your reviews. A couple of times a year I also do longer drives and if you are interested I am happy to share my current record as a reference for your 1000 km chart. Perhaps it could be used as another reference point to further push car manufacturers to make EVs even more efficient and charge even faster. I can even share the route with you.
Well you could have just posted the results in this very comment 🌝
Thanks
1023 km in 7:44 with an avarage speed of 132 km/h :-) that with an avarage consumption of 8.9 l/100km. Not too eco but definitely quick :-)
@@lgyanyi In some countries you would be in jail for this ride :)
@@mrcstb7479
True, but luckily in Europe we have en excellent motorway network that allows for 130 km/h as a general limit. Even more so, in Germany the 130 km/h is a recommendation but not a limit :-)
By my experience the unlimited sections even the typical handworker vans are travelling at speeds of 150 km/h or even faster. Wondering which EVs they will pick over the next years…
The right most lane is then almost completely occupied by trucks that occasionally even block the middle lane when overtaking, the so cold elefant rally :-)
Given the many obstructions e.g. traffic jams and construction sites spanning often over 10+ kilometers with only 5 kms until the next one, unless choosing to fly, higher speed is the option to make up for the lost time and get to your destination in relatively cosniderable time. This becomes especially important if one has a fix appointment in an other city that is 4-500 kms away and even more so if the plan is to even get home on the same day.
After all a hotel stay also increases the CO2 footprint, perhaps this is why it seems to be popular among EV drivers to sleep in the car :-)
Of course even on the Autobahn it is not always possible to come forward really fast and to do so you need the good quality roads, good weather, dense traffic but these are the same in case of Bjørn’s tests too.
But don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to propagate speeding and even less so reckless driving that I don’t do at all.
I simply wished to give Bjørn a real world reference point for his comparrisons, that he can quote when he makes the 1000km challenges.
This way he can keep pushing EV manufacturers to further extend the limits of technology, so that in a relatively short time, everybody can find an EV suiting his/her needs.
Maybe under 10hrs if the battery does not go under 10% before charging
I ordered a i4 to replace my 2017 model s 75 but I am worried about the BMW issues I hear about after 4 years. The only reason I am leaving Tesla is because they have the worst customer service when dealing with the large amount of issues I had on delivery day and the 4 or 5 issues I had fixed under warranty. The car is great but they don't build them well and the service is worse than what you get from a disgruntled mcdonalds worker. Almost everything Rich rebuilds has mentioned in his videos I have also experienced first hand.
BMW is using brushed motors. These will breakdown, be warned.
Model S with 318.000km here. Best car, Tesla service here in Australia is impeccable and very reasonably priced too. Very different to BMW / Merc / Audi. Tesla politics.....not so great.
Watching this video just proves how much easier road tripping is with a tesla. Not just because of the supercharger availability, but because of all the calculations and navigation you have to do yourself in a non-tesla. So sad to see other carmakers can't get this right yet.
Expensive than the M3P but not bad for those willing to pay more
Also much better quality and comfort. This of course makes it more expensive.
30% less efficient than car of healthy person (205 vs 274). Awesome result!
Was The 10h and 15min Trip time for the 1000km including charging time or only driving time?
Charging included.
@@bjornnyland ahh ok then its a good time. what was the highest speed during the journey?
15:44 What kind of a unit is "1/min x1000" on that performance display? I have no idea what the heck that thing is even measuring...
Oh, Bjørn said rpm. What a weird way to report rpm x1000.
Agreed
Björn, you like using German words and phrases.
Especially the word ‚kaputt‘.
😎
@7:48: the charger seems to only provide a maximum of 175 kW. Do you deduct time for this (if the car maxes out while charging)?
We don't know if it would take 200 kW or not. Even on Ionity's 350 kW chargers, I was only getting 150 kW many times. And the 175 kW on ABB chargers are only for 800 V cars.
@@bjornnyland thank you!
Cupra Born next? :D
When do you test the iX?
Now
40 or 50?
50
Bmw 👍🏼
How is it possible to turn AC off and still have te climate control in Auto? In the car that I was test driving it wasn’t possible to put AC off with climate control in Auto.
You should do Oslo > Björnrike and then ski some :D
Why?
@@bjornnyland It's fun also could make great content driving on smaller roads in the woods. A bit boring to drive E6 - E4- E14 all the time
You missed the whole point with this test then.
@@bjornnyland Well it's still a range test and you could try do it in less than 10 hours since it's the same range. Don't have to be björnrike but would be nice to see how electric cars does in more rural areas.
Diesel and petrol are so expensive now here in sweden so I might need to sell my V60 and would love to see if it's even possible to drive more rural and still be able to have one.
