We Tested a $68,000 BMW Electric Car: See Inside the I4

• I tested the BMW i4 eDrive40, a new electric sports sedan. 
• The i4 isn't futuristic or quirky like some other EVs. It just looks and feels like a BMW. 
• It's fun to drive, familiar, and approachable.

Not everyone dreams of owning a newfangled Tesla or Rivian. Some car shoppers just want a zero-emission version of a vehicle they already know and love.

That's where the BMW i4 comes in. It doesn't try to reinvent the driving experience, nor is it overflowing with gimmicks or huge touchscreens. It's just a sporty, premium-feeling BMW that happens to also be electric.

After testing a 2022 BMW i4 eDrive40 for a few days, I found it's a excellent option for first-time EV buyers who want something more familiar and luxurious than a Tesla Model 3. Plus, it's a great choice for anyone feeling left out by the flood of new electric SUVs.
