Wish there would be a standard version with xdrive. The car is great to drive but i just don't get warm with the m-sport, especially the back.

There’s an i4 xDrive40 with 400hp from two motors, coming so you can probably get that without M sport.

I’d say it’s good as confirmed no other source is as reliable from my experience. Check under January 2022

What the i4 could have been?

As seen in the comparison with the recently presented Citroen C5X, with a body type concept that would qualify as the "same" I can say to your concern that it should have been done like that in that time and space, with the drag of the i8 and the great acceptance of the that design, with which I would have coexisted and had a four-door version like those sketches, + EV was a sure success and the continuation, evolution and presence that they needed as pioneers in the EV era.

Understandable. All valid points.

Agree. There were some members that were arguing that a dedicated platform was not needed for EVs but this review really shows how the majority of the flaws in the i4 are a result of sharing architecture with ICE. 180 mile range in the absence of cold temperatures is shockingly bad.

He has praised the iX for its realistic range compared to the Teslas. And not only that, he critisizes the BMW because it's not a proper M car like BMW is badging.

So, honetly, not sure who do you want to trick with your usual discourse.

TESTED: The 2022 BMW i4 Handily Exceeds Its EPA Range | Edmunds

Weird that Tesla offers range behind EPA data

No it is really not, they are completely different things. Edmonds drives around some mix of LA roads on a random day under different traffic and weather conditions. EPA follows specific test cycles in a controlled environment -
