In terms of driver assist technologies, I prefer the systems in the i4 and other comparable vehicles over Tesla’s Autopilot.
@Roux
BMW’s assist features are designed as an evolution of traditional cruise control, providing a safer and more reliable experience than Tesla’s approach, which aims for full autonomy.

BMW’s system is more transparent about its limitations, which I appreciate. It allows for manual override without resistance, unlike Tesla’s Autopilot.

BMW prioritizes safety and user control, reflecting a more cautious and responsible approach to driver assist technology.

The i5 is essentially a luxury sedan with advanced features, offering an even more premium experience than the i4.

Given the rapid depreciation of EVs, leasing an i5 could be a smart financial move, allowing for flexibility to upgrade in the future.

We’ve decided to lease, which will allow us to evaluate our needs and possibly upgrade to newer models in the future.
@Zen
The i5 might be a better fit based on your preferences, offering a blend of luxury and advanced technology. It’s worth test driving to see if it meets your needs.

The i5 is on my radar for a future purchase, given its high quality and performance.
It’s important to differentiate between Tesla’s Model 3 and BMW’s M3, as they represent different classes of vehicles.
It’s worth noting that while BMW offers a solid driving experience, it lacks a direct comparison to Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving capabilities, which are more advanced in terms of automation.
You may find the BMW’s software less intuitive than Tesla’s. It’s advisable to take a long test drive to ensure the i4 meets your expectations, especially regarding the user interface.
A notable advantage of the BMW is its effective automatic windshield wipers, which provide a more reliable performance compared to Tesla’s.
Considering the various drawbacks of Tesla, transitioning to a BMW i4 might offer a more balanced and refined automotive experience.
Be aware that the i4’s range might be a concern, especially if you’re accustomed to the higher range of some Tesla models. The i4 typically offers around 250 miles per charge, which can be less depending on driving conditions.
Does the i4 recognize which person is entering the driver’s side and automatically adjust settings like seat position and mirrors? This is something we’ve come to appreciate in Tesla for its convenience.
