Don't know if anyone said it, but decibels are on a logarithmic scale. A difference of 10dB is equal to a 10X difference in intensity of sound. As you assumed, it's not linear. Hence the difference between 55dBA and 60 dBA is 60 has 3.17 higher intensity of sound. That said, a normal household refrigerator generates about 55dBA and a normal fully occupied business office or a conversation between two people sitting one meter apart is about 60dBA. Neither is particularly objectionable, but 55dBA is noticeably quieter.

We have 2021 Model Y and recently test drove the BMW I4 35. The ride quality difference and interior noise levels are night and day apart. The BMW fit and finish was top notch as well. I inspected the entire interior and exterior with a fine tooth comb and found zero flaws. The panel fitment and paint quality was flawless. The BMW just felt bank vault tight compared to our Y that has rattles and bangs when driving over bumps. The refreshed Y can’t come soon enough as it’s aging fast against the competition in its segment.

The computer system is garbage in the BMW. It will guide you to broken chargers that you have to insert your credit card in each time you get charge! The new model Y juniper is going to be out in a year and it’s gonna blow the doors off and BMW on the planet! BMW’s have always been driven by yuppies!

On the BMW, you can see an option you want, three selections down, then just rotate the haptic controller "click, click, click, push" and know you've selected it - without looking at the screen.

Infrastructure has always been my gripe about charging. I live in the midwest and it seems many third party chargers are often off-line, very temperamental or simply don't work at any given time. It's frustrating and has the potential to put a driver in a dangerous situation or at the very least an expensive one. I am currently driving an i3 and will get the refreshed M3 performance when it makes its debut or the long range later in the year. Another thing that bugs me is that a lot of people still don't get how to charge. I've seen people put their car on a fast charger, call a buddy, then leave for an hour or so when there are level 2 chargers at the same location.

Unfortunately, the hatch is literally the only advantage the i4 has over the new Highland Model 3, while the Tesla has all these: $17k cheaper, BEFORE OPTIONS (see below) +40 mile range, at the mid-trim. Much higher safety scores from Euro NCAP (and i4 is not even tested in the US, somehow... wtf) 21 cubic feet of storage vs the i4's 10... Screen in back Better voice controls 360 camera coverage, and playback, vs the i4's single backup camera Better app, driver-assist, infotainment, and other software FSD Beta as an option And all these standard, which are extra-cost options on the i4: Heated Seats, Ventilated Seats, Adaptive Headlights, Wireless phone charging, Heated steering wheel, Lumbar controls, Adaptive cruise control...

Sound level is a complex matter. +5 dB is twice the power, but not twice as loud. It represents about a 25% increase in loudness. +10 dB would be a doubling. You'd definitely perceive -5dB as quieter. Those are nice figures for both cars actually.

Every 3db is double the "noise". Of course this isn't the full picture. Tom Scott has a great video on "loudness" and how difficult it is to quantify and this is really what matters. You're subjective analysis of it on the same day back-to-back is probably the best test.

2:26 There's no way those diffusers are functional. Not enough surface area to catch and slow down the underbody air. 8:17 That's the seat belt warning chime. 11:25 The 19" wheels will rob you of 10% range, so take 25 miles off. I have an E40 model with the 19s so the original range estimate of 300 miles is whittled to 280 in real-world driving experience (though that may have improved if I decided to use Eco mode at all!) 16:19 Good call. I turned Lane Assist off soon as I got it (too many false positive alerts), and I don't experience any darting sensation at all. 21:28 It's not the motor you have to worry about in such circumstances-- it's the tires. EVs put down a lot of torque through the wheels, and it does so by pushing through literal tons of sheer weight. Drive like a maniac and you're going to be replacing tires like crazy.

19:53 For those wondering about decibels and how it relates linearly here you go… Each 10-decibel increase corresponds to a tenfold increase in sound intensity. So, if you go from 50 to 60 decibels, it’s not a 10% increase - it’s actually 10 times more intense sound. The logarithmic nature reflects our perception of sound, where small changes in decibels represent larger changes in how we perceive loudness.

On my i4, when I change drive modes the range forecast changes immediately, e.g I am in eco pro mode, range is 300 kms, change to sport mode, the range forecast will drop to 275 kms immediately, and will increase when go back to eco pro....................

I like the i4 a lot actually, I think it’s nice looking and premium, and range is good (if accurate). Price is a little steeper but this seems more premium to me. The only thing I’m surprised at is that as they have been doing EVs longer than others like Mercedes, I don’t understand why this feels like it’s just an EV platform dropped on top of their standard 4 series platform… why not repackage and improve with a separate platform, so you can have things like a frunk. Seems shortsighted to me but overall I like the i4.

I have a model 3 and i40, I’ve never used any of the lower kw chargers in store parking lots, anything under 50 isn’t worth it unless you’re really low on charge. I took a few hour drive to the beach last summer and the BMW did well and had a little bit more charge than the 3 did when we got to the beach. The suspension is a lot softer too, my 3 has coil overs and I keep them about 5 clicks from soft all around but it’s still a bit stiffer ride than the BMW. BTW you can get sentry cam for the BMW but it’s extra, not sure but I think it only uses 1 forward facing cam and probably the rear backup cam only.

There's a reason the haptic controller exists in the BMW, I don't recall you using it. It helps you to control the infotainment while allowing you to keep eyes on the road more. It's been around for decades and is a proven means of lowering the time you spend looking at the screen. A touchscreen requires you to look at it the entire time you're touching options. On the Tesla everything requires touch navigation, everything through a single screen - I *hate* that, much longer time with eyes on the screen. Tesla's have a higher incident rate....maybe this is why(?).

Great, honest review... It all comes down to price difference, IMO. Tesla has better tech, performance, and SC network, and BMW has better quality materials. Also, if the cost of ownership is important, both cars would be expensive to repair out of warranty, but I bet the BMW would be far more expensive due to its complexity.
@BogeyTheBear
@BogeyTheBear 3 місяці тому
Tesla would be more expensive by the fact the company doesn't utilize a supplier chain and makes all components in-house. Meaning that you're waiting for the factory to get around and make whatever replacement component you'll need to repair the Tesla. This is the crux of Tesla's infamous service reputation where new body panel is automatically a five-figure repair bill and it takes months for new parts to show up at the repair center.

My i4 is 1 1/2 years old. Still consider it the best car I've ever owned. My first non manual too in MANY years. The Tesla was proof of concept but is now way overdue for replacement. Problems for the i4 are the range and charging network, so no more road trips for now. When its time to replace our ICE car, will get a plug in hybrid - if its a hatchback with sufficient brake regen for one pedal driving - which gives the control of a manual. At the time I purchased, credits were available on both cars, and the i4 was not that much more expensive than the Model 3 or Kia EV6. + a real dealer support network.

You don't have to tell the BMW to condition the battery if you're going to charge. It's setting you toggle to do it automatically as soon as you set to navigate to a charger. I owned a 2022 Model S and I now own a 2023 BMW iX. I'd say the tech is equal between the two with some advantages for both. This practiced myth of "Tesla has the better tech" is just memorized tropes people repeat.

Prices are completely different here in Germany. In fact the BMW is available for about 45k € which is the same starting price as a Model 3 Standard Range. Of course you would need to add some extras to the BMW but the difference is not that big in other regions outside US. In the end it comes down to preference imo. Tesla is much more fancy but if you choose the BMW you know what you will get. A solid & high quality car. Or in other words: Teslas are extremely affordable in US, but only in US.

just pointing out the reality that "i never take my dog anywhere" and daily driving a dog in a rural area vintage SUV with huge old windows and mulitple sunroofs that open up, making it feel super open like a convertible in warm weather...are very different urban/ rural routines for a dog. Yeah I have lived in town before with my dog and obviously you don't drive as much then - and you'd be in more traffic if you did, which isn't fun for you or your dog - especially on hot days. Dogs love riding in certain models of cars that have roomy interiors or are converted for dogs/ seats removed, with ample padding / footing and lots of air-flow through the interior. It almost makes more sense to buy a separate, beater old SUV to convert to your dog mobile, if you're in the market for a new BMW i4 and have the space. And fresh air flow is everything for dogs. "Dog Mode" on your Tesla is never going to be more comfortable than me leaving my dog in an old SUV with sunroofs open, shades pulled, windows half-open; this is common sense for people who breathe air and know physiology and understand dogs and heat and how they breathe etc. (unless it's like 100 degrees outside and you can't find shade, in which case you would want to be really careful leaving a dog in a car whatsoever).

We are downplaying the reality of range anxiety and Tesla’s inaccuracy of range estimates, while at the same time we are using Teslas charging network as a point of superiority over other manufacturers. I don’t know if anyone listened to Elon Musk on Rogan last month, but his comments that range anxiety is a farce were completely egregious.

I have the eDrive40 model i4 and I actually really enjoy the HUD. The BMW also has remote cameras that will show the vehicles surroundings - so that's also available in the BMW. A friend of mine has a Tesla Model 3 and I've driven that also. Whilst the BMW is more expensive than the Tesla, the drive on the BMW is significantly better as is the build quality. Is it a better daily driver because the Tesla is cheaper? I wouldn't say so. The BMW is so much nicer of an experience! You feel like you're driving the future. The driving display is much much better than the Tesla. Finding basic things like the aircon and heated seats is much easier on the BMW - it's entirely obvious. Took me a good bit of time on the Tesla to find those functions... whilst driving because I needed defrost. Not great, or safe. I do lament the lack of a frunk on the BMW, it's a real missing. It also doesn't seem like we're going to get Adapters for NACS on BMW at all in 2024, we'll have to wait until 2025 for a new car with the NACS port. That's a big bummer. Finding charging is currently an almost daily headache for me. Having said that, the BMW is built in Germany in car plants that use exclusively renewable energy from what I understand which is a big plus from an eco-friendly perspective. I didn't push the model 3 to the limit on the road particularly, but the handling on the BMW is exceptional. I have driven a Lamborghini round a race track a few times, and I couldn't push the back of the BMW out nearly as easily as the Lambo. It's glued to the road and feels solid as fast as I dared to push it. And at the end of the day, the Tesla looks like a Tesla, and the BMW looks like a BMW. The BMW is just a way cooler looking car, especially with the M package. It just looks like a badass car. Is that worth $15k. Maybe it is. The two years of free charging doesn't hurt either.

There is a 23K price difference between the BMW I4 and Tesla Model 3. How can you even think of comparing them?

Unfortunately, any possible advantages and they're rather slim with the BMW are dwarfed completely by the supercharger issue. If you buy an electric vehicle that does not have the nacs connector, please, for your own sake, don't bother trying to road trip it. And then there's the yawning price disparity. The new Highland performance model will cost about the same as this overpriced i-4. Those are not even in the same universe.

The Supercharger issue is not as gargantuan as you may want it to be. Anyone with home/work charging solutions aren't going to be as swayed, and the inclusion of non-Tesla vehicles to the network is in the forecast.

I test drove the i4. The absolute deal breaker was no 1 pedal driving. Touch the break to stop. What are we savages?

He was looking for the one-pedal mode in the touchscreen when it's actually on the gear selector. PS: I was facetious with that remark at first, but I just found out that you actually _do_ have to ply through the Tesla's touchscreen in order to turn one-pedal mode on or off! Minimalism is the reduction of tools to accomplish a task-- Simplicity is the reduction of _actions_ to accomplish a task. Tesla's minimalism means having to use the touchscreen to do everything through a bunch of pages-- BMW simply lets you activate one-pedal mode at the flick of a switch.

The i4 has one pedal driving through the gear shifter. I use it at all times except when I'm on the highway where it coasts like a normal car with adaptive regen to almost serve like a 1 pedal. When traffic builds up on the highway, I change it back to one pedal mode.
