I’ve been looking for this info if you have it. It feels slower in the mid range.

according to an old thread, the BMW i4 only had a max range of about 90 miles when doing 130mph. surely the i5 can travel much farther than that, right?

Hmm,...only 90 miles! Seems suspect! I would be more inclined to accept that if the data was presented with zero edits made on the video. However,...at 130mph,...wherever it was they were going....the first 90 miles went by fairly quick! Ya have to admit that.

kind of like the Bugatti Veyron supposedly when it's traveling at the top speed, 260mph, the tires can only last 15 to 20 minutes before they need to be replaced. One set of replacement tires is *only* $42,000. I wish I have that problem! (do Costco Tires or Tire Rack have $80 or $120 rebate for those $42,000 tires?)

German PSA for the day


I'm a little confused... so are BMWs considered masculine or feminine?

this German BMW dealer near Bonn airport referred to it as "Der neue BMW X1"?
