Date: March 15th, 2022 8:42 AM Author: cruel-hearted senate Mixed feelings on this. Like that it’s an electric BMW with good power and reportedly decent ride and handling. I don’t personally love the giant grill, especially on an electric car, don’t love that it’s not a purpose built electric platform, and worry about range in winter with no heat pump.
Like the color though. |

Date: March 15th, 2022 8:43 AM Author: cream casino windowlicker Hmm interesting. Do other electrics have a heat pump? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5058914&forum_id=2#44151248) |

Date: March 15th, 2022 1:23 PM Author: cruel-hearted senate Tesla puts them in all models now. Think a few other electric cars have followed suit.

|
Date: March 15th, 2022 1:43 PM Author: Claret Travel Guidebook All the reviewers who've driven it love it and say it drives just like a ICE BMW. It's a lot easier to make an EV when you're already great at everything else that goes into designing and manufacturing autos than it is to do the reverse. See Tesla.

|
Date: June 2nd, 2022 8:36 PM Author: Vigorous Alpha I test drove it and absolutely can confirm. If you want an EV that is a real BMW M performance car, this is it. Also, one thing that is really cool is that if you throw it into sports mode the suspension stiffens (it's air suspension), the steering gets heavier and it just drives hard.
I had my wife drive it too and she was like "yeah, it's a car." She didn't even try the sports mode. |

entire reason to buy BMW is engines. gas engines.
you want an electric car, buy a Tesla. |

Date: June 1st, 2022 10:06 PM Author: Vigorous Alpha You can get them for $70-75k before the $7500 tax rebate.
Example (with an M50, of course): https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/10ebad1e-842b-4dbe-85e4-1b919a16ffdd/
A comparable Porsche will be well over $110k (if you go into the configurator it'll add up VERY quick): https://www.porsche.com/usa/models/taycan/taycan-models/taycan-4s/
And yes, I considered the Porsche.

I'm stopping by the dealer tomorrow and asking a few qs like delivery timeframe. |
|
Date: June 2nd, 2022 9:22 AM Author: cream casino windowlicker Be interested to hear what they tell you. I’m pretty sure the phase out of the credit doesn’t start until the second quarter after they reach 200k units, so if they reach it in Q4, you still get the full credit in Q1 2023 then reduced to like 5k in Q2, then further reduced (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5058914&forum_id=2#44613243) |

Date: June 2nd, 2022 8:19 PM Author: Vigorous Alpha The dealership told me that they don't expect that the tax credit will be an issue and that they have plenty of room to go.

Date: June 2nd, 2022 8:11 PM Author: Vigorous Alpha The regenerative braking takes a bit of getting used to but once you drive a bit it is actually kind of cool. You basically almost never touch the brake pedal. The speed is phenomenal. I have an X6 50i (turbo V8) and this is quite a bit faster.
The one piece of bad news is 2023 cars don't get self-driving features because of parts shortages. That sucks but it is what it is. |
