A conversation starter. We did not have an i4 eDrive40 to test, but in summary, it is like the M50, except it’s less expensive, slower, only has a single motor driving the rear wheels, and is more of a long-range economy vehicle. The i4 has the enormous double kidney grille that has become a conversation starter.
