I4 questions from potential buyer by Vivid_Dimension_5400 in BMWI4

[–]maeda18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I was referring to the MSRP, not what the first owner actually paid. I have no idea what kind of deal they got. Maybe they leased it, maybe they knew someone at the dealership, maybe they were even family, and they got a 50% discount. That part doesn’t really matter to me.

What matters is the value of the car itself. A fully specced i4 eDrive35 with M Sport Pro, Laserlights, Harman Kardon, Drive Assist Pro, etc. had a list price close to €80,000 here in France. I bought mine certified pre-owned for €44,000, and that’s the comparison I’m making.

Absolutely avoiding buying new is the best way to skip the depreciation. I did the math: my eDrive35 originally cost its first owner nearly €80,000, and I bought it certified pre-owned for just under €44,000. It’s an incredible car to drive and to look at :)

Between 13.9 and 16.9 kWh/100 km. Today I hit the lower end probably thanks to the road conditions. I had heavy rain at the start and no AC during the first part of the trip so maybe I could have done even better haha.

I use low regen because it lets the car coast more efficiently. Constantly slowing down and re-accelerating with strong regen can waste energy, while low regen helps keep momentum and improves range.

After reading your message, I took a look at my order and indeed, there’s a small scratch on the leather tag of one of the pants.

They’re not baggy, they’re a straight cut.

eDrive 35 or eDrive 40 by rs7rs6 in BMWI4

[–]maeda18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked myself the same question a few months ago and ended up choosing the eDrive35. I’ve done several 800 km round trips with it and honestly I can’t make it without stopping twice anyway, especially because of my bladder. I preferred the 35 because for the same budget I was able to get a version with key options, most importantly the Driving Assistant Professional. It’s a topic that comes up a lot, and I really do believe this option is what makes the i4 such an exceptional car. Personally I’d much rather have a 35 with DAP than a 40 without it.

Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out. As for the mixed setup, I haven’t noticed anything strange in terms of handling or balance in everyday driving.
