The i4 is a 4-door, 5-seat car that is similar in size to BMW’s 3 Series, albeit with a profile more akin to the fastback 4 Series Gran Coupe. Unlike the 4 Series, though, the i4 is electric. BMW says its electric motors churn out up to 530 horsepower, and the automaker estimates a 300-mile electric range when the Environmental Protection Agency rates the car.
BMW says the car will scoot to 60 mph in around four seconds, though an M Performance version presumably boasting more power and sharper handling will follow.
We don’t know what the i4 will cost when it arrives in the U.S. for the 2022 model year, but it’s safe to assume that BMW has the $37,490 Tesla Model 3 in its sights. Still, the i4 Gran Coupe’s 300-mile range doesn’t quite match the 353-mile range of the current Tesla Model 3 Long Range (which starts at $46,490).
Smart new features
Still, the i4 does bring some new tricks to the party. For one, the car’s Apple AAPL CarPlay compatibility will be able to calculate a route (using Apple Maps, of course) based on the car’s available range, as well as any charging stations along the way. Additionally, those with iPhones can use their devices as a key fob to enter and start the i4. And you thought replacing a lost BMW key would be expensive.
cautiously intrigued.... BMW is on a short list of potential threats to tesla market dominance, imo. but its so hard to imagine they will manage to pull off price parity.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is being accused of insider trading after her and her husband bought up to $10,000,000 in Microsoft stock in early March. Weeks after their purchase, the Pentagon announced a massive $22B contract with Microsoft for AR headsets.

so couple of things, one shout out to the tesla gamma squeeze. and two the coinbase ipo is really interesting. we are off 10% from its opening high price. really i could see this trading at under $200 or over $600 by end of may and its easier for me to see the former than the latter tbh.
