Tesla Y MSRP
Long Range $51,990 (326 mile) 75.0 kilowatt-hours 384 horsepower
Performance $60,990 (303 mile) 75.0 kilowatt-hours 456 horsepower
BMW i4 Price (incl. dest.)
eDrive40 $56,395 81.5 kilowatt-hours, 300 miles RWD, 240 miles AWD. 335 horsepower
M50 $66,895 81.5 kilowatt-hours, 245 miles 536 horsepower
Will the allure of BMW brand push sales past the Tesla Y model? It may be difficult to tell as Tesla does not break out the Model 3 and the model Y sales figures.

It's going to sell but a huge hurdle is Tesla's charging network is far superior. The other problem is I doubt BMW is able to ramp up capacity for its EV's that fast. The Model Y may be the biggest selling vehicle worldwide in 2022. I owned several BMW's before buying a Model Y and do miss some things about BMW but still very happy with my Tesla.
I think the Model Y being a crossover and the i4 being a sedan means the Model Y will likely end up selling better since it overall has better specs and charging network. Tesla also still has a really simple demand levers to pull with the Model Y which would be to put into mass production a less expensive Long Range RWD version and a less expensive, smaller battery pack Standard Range RWD version. Right now they're likely still production constrained so they might as well sell the more expensive models, but when the Texas factory opens up, that's not going to be the case anymore.
I'd like to see Mini come out with an EV on a dedicated electric platform. I do like a lot about the current Mini Electric, but just a few improvements here and there would make it a lot more attractive--also, I need it to be a convertible.
The Model Y is a crossover and the i4 is a sedan. The comparison should be the i4 to the Model 3.
I suppose the only realistic comparison will have to be i4 and iX combined. I don't think Tesla is going to change their policy and report Model 3 and Model Y seperately. We don't actually know the MSRP of the iX, but it is a reasonable guess that it will be priced within $1K of the i4.

MINI has reported they will be all electric by 2030, but they have not published a timeline for individual models.

People end up figuring them out for the US via vehicle registrations.
Even the base i4 has good performance, but the i4 M50 described in this Motor Trend article sounds outstanding. I don't know if it'll match the Model Y in unit sales as it's appealing to a different buyer, but I think BMW will sell these well - as well as any BMW does anyway - even their ICE models are not Everyman cars.
