How Good is idrive 8.5 in The 2024 BMW i4 xDrive40? /// Allcarnews Technology Review

Описание: BMW loaned me this rather unique 2024 i4 xDrive 40 for a week with a gorgeous shade of Individual Mora Metallic ($4,500). Peel back the snazzy color, M sport packages and options, this i4 is unique as you can’t even get a 40 xDrive in Germany. After a week, it’s balanced blend of power, features, range, and AWD capability makes it likely the best i4 to buy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Highs:
+The i4 is simply gorgeous, and a fancy paint option makes it even better.
+I was impressed with the efficiency, coasting capability and fast charging speeds, especially for a non-dedicated EV platform.
+The interior is top tier well built, drive 8.5 is responsive and next level with technology baked in.
+It feels special, well built, intensely engineered, a true BMW experience.

Lows:
-Not necessarily a low but if you are expecting a performance car, this is not it. The xDrive40 drives like a well tuned and balanced Grand Tourer: good power, dynamic yet compliant suspension, quick yet light steering. The i4 M50 is the wild one for sure.

8.5/10

Dish out many exuberant options and a mid $60k price is not bad at all for this i4. I would consider one personally.
