BMW has long been the bellwether in sporty sedans. Now it’s made an electric one, which retains its style but is quicker and quieter. Buyers can choose between two sizes of battery and rear- or all-wheel drive. What’s unique: most EVs have a couple different settings for brake regeneration, but the BMW i4 has four.
