One word: Exceptional. I drove 1044 miles in August and 835 miles in September, both averages 3.9 mi/kWh. What that translates to is those 1,897 miles costed me 481 kWh in electricity, and at Washington States $0.12/kWh rate, I have spent a total of $58 to drive 1900 miles.Read More on Reddit
The build quality is excellent and feels much more premium than the F30 BMW 335i I owned. Paint quality is fantastic and is in a different class than my old Model 3. Also I love silly details like the light carpet.Read More on Reddit
After 10 months of ownership I’ve only charged away from home about 8 or 9 times. Each time has been quick and easy and only twice I’ve had to wait a short time for a charger. I think a lot of people overestimate the number of times they go on long road trips or need more than 250 miles of range in a day.Read More on Reddit
There’s a pretty big gap in interior materials between trim levels. The turning radius isnt great. I think the biggest thing they need to work on is the integration of charging stations in the native nav system.Read More on Reddit
| HIGHS | LOWS | |
|---|---|---|
10/10  | Quicker than an M3, hatchback practicality, curved display absolutely serves. | Steering lacks sharpness, M50 comes with a heavy range sacrifice, sport mode sounds are totally inappropriate. |
7.8/10  | Impressive acceleration, especially from M50 model, Comfortable ride quality, Premium-quality interior, Long list of standard and optional features | Overly sensitive regenerative braking system, Less engaging to drive than some rivals and gas-powered BMW counterparts |
8/10  | Contains much 4 Series goodness, efficient, drives better than a Tesla or Polestar | Still not as engaging as we hoped, operating system is annoying, not cheap |
8.2/10  | Engaging powertrains and handling, Impressive maximum available driving range, Smooth ride quality, Upscale and tech-packed cabin | Cramped second row |
