Now are they universally driven aggressively/dangerously/inconsiderately or is it just my experience and do they only come in that light grey colour?

Special mention to 'GR11K3S'

Probably want to show a bit more patience and not pass the cyclist with oncoming traffic and give them more than a couple of inches of room to save you 10 seconds which you then lost by catching up other cars. Moron.

I also seem to see this when driving anything interesting. It seems to attract them like souped up hot hatches (which is excusable to an extent when it's a teen) but not fully grown men in their electric M3 equivalent (I assume that's what an i4 is I have no interest in them) Is it a case of remapped 330d syndrome? (Yes check the car history)


Edit as I assume the title should have an ' after the 4

I imagine it's the car itself to an extent.. much like the Tesla model 3, driven as company cars by people in perhaps in their first electric car?

While my 330e was in for warranty work I had an i4, the M50 variant to boot. The acceleration was startling. For the 48 hrs I had it I probably drove like a bit of a pr!ck. Was glad to give it back.

Oh there's different versions of them? They all seem to just say i4 on the ones I see but perhaps I'm not perceptive enough

There are a few different versions, there's even an m60 version now which replaced the m50 recently

I've got the m50 which I've had for a few years,
Most of the time I can be found in the slow lane because I'm not too fussed about driving fast and usually more obsessed with trying to improve my efficiency ,
although from time to time I still make use of the cars performance which is enough to leave most things for dead and at times hard to resist,
I do however try to avoid driving like an idiot when doing so.

My next-door neighbour got a brand new i4 last week, think it’s the Cape York Green colour, looks very nice.

He took me out for a quick spin in it at the weekend and yea the speed from stand still is startling.

That's a given, considering your recollection of the registration.
