Hey... What gives!

BMW Starts Customer Deliveries Of The i4 Three Months Earlier Than Originally Planned

https://bmwi.bimmerpost.com/forums/s....php?t=1879294



How is it the i4 is ahead of schedule and my M4 it taking twice as long as expected?!

I don't think so - i4 's are made in Munich and the M4's in Dingolfing.

But they are using a lot of the same parts which (RAM) which is what most of us are sitting for months now waiting for!! Probably much better PR for BMW to get their EV out on the roads than a stinky ICE vehicle that's destroying the universe.

I highly doubt they are using the same RAM. If I'm BMW and have a brand new model to launch, I'm going to make sure I design it with parts that are readily available.

It could be that those people who ordered those I4's have been waiting longer than any of us who waited for our m3/m4's.

For all we know, those people ordered their car sometime in 2020.

No, it was only available to order in the fall. My CA mentioned I could order one in Oct when I placed my M3 order in Sept.

I guess they want to get them to market sooner to capitalize on the rising trend towards EV.

It makes sense.

My goal in spring is to replace my current SUV daily with a tesla model Y performance. But now having the M3C, maybe i should stick with BMW? I know it can't match what tesla is doing in value for performance but i kinda like the tech BMW offers. Plus it's different.

We'll see what's in store soon.

Pre-order process for the i4 and iX began in June, 2021.

US market i4s will begin production in March (for pre-orders).

Not surprised by this at all. BMW is behind on EV's and they are going to put a tremendous amount of focus in this area.
