Views : 282 The i4 can develop up to 530PS, figures close to those of a V8 petrol engine! The wraps are off the all-new i4, BMW’s first all-electric four-door coupe.

autoevolution 10 Feb 2021, 19:36 UTC · by 19 photos According to official sources, the model will also get an M Performance version, but despite the hefty output, don’t expect either of them to become drag strip kings like the Tesla Model S, the Porsche Taycan, or even the recently unveiled Audi e-tron GT. Don’t think of the i4 as an all-round competitor for the previously mentioned EVs either, as BMW will first try to steal a slice of the Tesla Model 3 market before going all-in with a full-size luxury EV called the i7.
