The i4 is an all-electric version of BMW's 4 Series Gran Coupe, and you might think that means it has a bit less stardust and razzmatazz than purpose-built EV rivals like the Tesla Model 3 or Polestar 2. However, in this CarGurus UK video review, Vicky Parrott finds that this Bavarian BEV has the kind of talent that should have Tesla and Polestar quaking in their battery-powered boots.

The range-topping M50 gets four-wheel drive and 536bhp, but it’s the eDrive40 tested here that’s likely to be of more interest to most buyers. It has 335bhp, rear-wheel drive and an official WLTP electric range of up to 365 miles.

Pros
Rewarding and comfortable to drive
Superbly made cabin
The M50 is savagely fast

Cons
Not as well equipped as some rivals
Cheaper EVs like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 have more space in the back
Expensive to buy

The CarGurus verdict
The BMW i4 is truly great to drive, whether you want something with a bit of enthusiastic verve or that’s confident and comfortable, it’ll do the job well. It certainly has a better driving position and superior ride and handling when compared to the Tesla Model 3 or the Polestar 2.

The compromise is that the i4 is more expensive and not as well equipped. You also don’t have the advantage of Tesla’s excellent Supercharger network, which undeniably makes long-distance driving in an EV a fair bit easier, but if you can justify the extra cost, then this is the best mid-sized executive EV available.
