BMW i4 Production Version Makes First Appearance

BMW Group used its annual general meeting on Wednesday in Munich, Germany, to show for the first time the production version of its i4 electric sedan.

The all-electric sports car is scheduled to make its debut in Europe this year, but it's not yet clear when it will cross the Atlantic. It's believed that it could arrive in North American early in 2022, at the same time the company also debuts its iX electric SUV.

The i4, first previewed as a concept last year, is based on the latest generation of the 4 Series and is positioned as a direct rival to Tesla's Model 3. It shares its body with the upcoming 4 Series Gran Coupe.
