The names do not add or subtract from the performance metrics or battery capability on launch date. That's what really matters. It's best to redirect collective energy towards understanding what i4 has to offer vs other models.
Product planners are entitled to change their minds. |

Try a Jag i-Pace or even the BMW i3 and you most likely will get hooked on BEVs. |

while I don't intend to be disagreeable, the age of burning fossil fuels to power (at least) automobiles is coming to a close. electric cars are something we will all have to come to terms with at some point, likely in the near term.
it is partly for that reason why I will forever keep my 440xi GC unicorn, hide it in a barn somewhere, and let my grandkids do the Red Barchetta thing.

I'm convinced that BMW AG has someone on the payroll monitoring this forum 24/7 as the googled link was at 1st a 404 error and now this:

We used to have a Cayenne S that my wife traded in for her MY and I doubt she is ever going back to a non EV. So different markets and buyers...I am seriously considering my next to be a well optioned iX. |

Yeah. We drove the iPace, e-tron and Model Y. I loved the i-pace, but wife went with MY as the safe bet. Yeah, once you have an EV it is addicting for sure.

And probably it will have the longest range if all models have the 80 kWh battery. I don't know if x drive is really necessary with modern traction controle and electronics if you don't live in a cold climate or in the mountains. |

There is a 5 years extension for hybrid, but I believe that is only plug-in style powertrains (I.e. it doesn't cover mild hybrids with integrated starter/generators like the M340i). So while I agree synthetic fuels are very interesting, we won't get the chance to see in the UK if the gov't follows through and implements its announcement - which is looking very likely. |

1. Great job! 2. Never ever offer direct links. Never explain how you found it. Moreover, obfuscate the discovery in a way that makes it difficult to find independently. I learned this lesson way back in 2013 when I just started on this path and was happy to share my methods - and then quickly found I had to invent new methods because the old ones would suddenly stop working. |

I can see, that if you look at the source code for the website, the 2 numbers refer to the prices:
vehicle-model-code-71AW BMW i4 eDRIVE40 Basis Drive vehicle-model-price-71AW 65000.01 (this is German site, so I assume EUR 65.000) vehicle-model-code-31AW BMW i4 M50 vehicle-model-price-31AW 70000.01 (this is German site, so I assume EUR 70.000) |
