LCI I4 - finally lowered or?

Just tried to see on configurator the i4 LCI.

It sits pretty squat, nice and low.

Did BMW address their "safety" concerns and no longer puts the car high up?

Im confused because on configurator it is low..

But some press shots it shows it high up. Is it just adjustable air suspension or what is the deal? Anyone knows?

The Configurator has been showing an image of a lowered i4 in all versions since 2021.

I checked the configurator for original i4.

Non Msport suspension - higher.

M sport - bit lower.

LCI - lower still. But LCI is not full fledged configurator, so perhaps when its out we can say on that, but as test cars all looked jacked up, i guess youre correct, they all are same. Which is a bit of a shame when Tesla and Porsche have no problem lowering their EVs, never mind the Chinese.

See yourself. Also note how BMW photographs the wheel - note the gap. I guess im shocked they mislead people so much.

No i4 -regardless of model, trim or options- is that low in reality. This is a Configurator “copy and paste” issue - the images of all BMW models are used for all BMW models.
