BMW i4 arrives in Singapore to a very warm and sunny welcome

[Mockngbrd]

Just launched earlier this afternoon. eDrive40i initial batch with the M50i coming later in the year. 
Starting price approx SGD$311k inclusive of COE and wallbox charger (or 3yrs worth of Shell charging credits)

Given that a 320i is already SGD$300k, the (future-proofed) i4 at 10k more does seems like the better buy in comparison. 


















 

 

Biggest difference for the interior vs standard 4GCs? The iX-esque curved display.

Greedy AD prices this about 100k above equivalent Model 3. Model is safe.

Different biz model has different margin. $100k split btw BMW Asia and PML.

Despite ugly interior, I will stick with Model 3.

BMW i4 edrive40 Single Motor at 340 hp, $311k

Tesla Model 3 Performance Dual Motors at 508 hp, $255k

To some, BMW badge and the better drive (subjective) are worth the additional $53k 🤣

Also build quality, resale value and product support.

Would agree on build quality. The Model 3's build quality isn't the best.

Go for a test to be wow-ed first. 

 

Clean drive, and enough oomph for daily drives.  Steer feel slightly muted, but still better than Model3

Since the demise of Hydraulic Rack, cannot expect much on Steering feel.
Maybe till I drive 992.

On the ridiculous pricing, agree that the Tesla Y makes more sense for now
