All EVs are nearly 5000lbs. The xDrive i4 I mentioned is 5063lbs

But the interior DOES have buttons so it's back on my like list.

    There was something about the i4 I just didn't like. I think it was how it felt kind of like an m3 to me. In the sense that if all you care about is going fast, then it's a great car, but it's not the luxury of the 5 or 7 series, which is what I think of when I think of BMW.

    I'm too old for a car like that, and don't drive enough to justify the i5 price, so I went economical (in comparison at least) with the mach-e. It's fun to drive, has enough gitty-up-and-go for me, and it's comfortable.

    Though I got reeeeeeally close to saying fuck it and getting the i5.

    I’m waiting for the price on used i5s to drop a bit before I trade my car in for one. Since they’re only a year old, they’re still super pricy. i4 is a bit small for me if I have people in the back.

    The 530e is pretty perfect for me in the meantime. Only 20 mile range on full electric, but that works pretty perfectly for me since I can charge at home and at work. On longer trips I can still burn dinosaurs, but I only fill the tank up a few times per year. I think I’ve put gas in it 6 times this year, and that includes a couple ~3 hour trips.

    I’ve thought about Tesla, but there’s so much I don’t like about them.

    I've got a RAV4 that will last quite a while if I need space. In 6-12 months, hopefully after I buy I home, I'm going to need a car that says "single software engineer dad with midlife crisis money" and my boy loves the interior of the i4 coupe.

    I'll look at the i5 though
