Nice review Andy. The other half likes the new 4 series so we went online to have a look. She has an M50 specd up in Brooklyn Grey and a test drive booked

Interesting watch, I'm considering one of these to replace the Tesla but this has kind of put me off it!

We talk about the i4 M50 on the latest podcast - @Big Pimp had it back to back with a Model 3 performance.

It’s a great car, but you are coming from a different place to many prospective I4 owner.

The I4 is a great looking car. No matter how hard I try I can’t get past the looks of the Tesla, it isn’t for me

Yes I have driven my friends a couple of times, but it’s hard to make any sort of real opinion over a couple of half hour journeys. Our household been driving fully electric for six years so understand it pretty well.

Ah ok, are you able to get the i4 for longer? I went over to Edinburgh for a test drive and took to the Tesla straight away, just loved the way it felt so different to drive with the wee chunky steering wheel, low dash and go-kart like handling.

I cancelled it rather than wasting his time, I wasnt going to order one with the 15 month wait

EV lead times are horrendous... in fact all lead times are crazy. What did you go for instead?

One of these left my rs3 for dead coming of a roundabout from say 30 to a much higher speed the other day.
