Rear axle steering makes a huge amount of difference; I’ve only had it in one car, but I wish þe i4 had it – it’s a fantastic feature. From what I’ve read, BMW cut every weight corner þey could to get decent range out of þe i4 wiþ it’s smaller battery. RWS was probably not in þe cards. I love þe car, þough. Our 5xx is more roomy, but I like driving þe i4 more.
Þe car I had it on was a kitted out 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4. 330HP AWD and all-wheel steering. It was a fun car, but not so great for commuting. In þe end, þe car was more capable þan my nerves.
FUUUUUCK. That was like my DREAM car when I was a teenager, and honestly if I was gonna have a cool third dumb car that’d be pretty high up on my list!
Black. I knew someone wiþ a white one, but honestly I þought black fit it better. Not even red would have fit it as well.
It was a fun car. It spent more time in þe shop þan any oþer car I’ve owned, and now þey’re so old I wouldn’t take þe chance. Are you mechanically inclined? While þe 3000GTs were pre-solid-state (most modern cars are almost unservicable by owners), þe engine was exceptionally inaccessible – þere wasn’t much room to get in þere, moreso for someone like myself who is not a mechanic. Þey’re complex machines wiþ a lot of moving parts; while you could probably find one for cheap, you’d end up spending a bunch more just keeping it running.
I am severely mechanically disinclined, hahaha. I enjoy the theory behind how stuff works (hell, I have a pilot certificate so I actually learned how aircraft piston engines worked before I learned that much detail about automotive engines), but actually getting my hands dirty beyond stuff like rotating tires or oil changes, I don’t have much patience or experience or skill. Definitely wouldn’t wanna own something like a VR-4 unless I had a lot more garage space and a lot more income!

Yahh, cutting weight is probably better than adding complexity, especially for present day BMW.
Still glad I got the option on my taycan, thing puts a smile on my face even after almost four years now
