Model: BMW i4
BMW i4 is positioned as a pure electric four-door coupe, and the new car was unveiled at Munich Auto Show. The BMW i4 is built on the pure electric platform of CLAR, which continues the design of the new generation BMW 4 Series. BMW’s iconic "double kidney" grille is very family-recognizable, and its back-sliding design and tail-lifting design are even more sporty.
The interior of BMW i4 adopts BMW’s latest design, adopts the dual screen design consisting of 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and 14.9-inch central control panel, and has built-in iDrive 8.0 operating system, which makes human-computer interaction more intelligent and richer in configuration.

Summary:BMW i4 will be launched in China on September 16th, and the time to enter China has also been put on the agenda. However, after entering China, BMW i4 will inevitably be compared with Tesla Model 3, but from the aspects of product design, positioning, size and price, these two cars are not competitive. In addition, from the user portrait, BMW i4 is also different from Model 3. The sports design of BMW i4 is more suitable for young consumers, and in terms of brand loyalty, it prefers consumers of traditional car companies, in other words, consumers who have absolute trust in BBA.
The competitor of BMW i4 is not Tesla Model 3. If you have to find an opponent to compete, it is largely the standard Weilai ET7.
