Tesla S P85 or BMW M4

Hi All

First real post so go gentle!

I am in the (probably enviable) position of having either of the above to choose for a company car. I've sat in and drive both but I'm no closer to a solution. Either car will be on a 4 year lease, I'm used to changing them every year so feels like a big decision.

I love the Tesla, it's early days for them but it's an uncanny experience driving something so fast so quietly and the interior feels special (although the touchscreen might become wearing!). I run a green design and build company so it's eco-credentials really fit with the company and the 250ish mile real world range is fine 99% of the time.

I'm coming out of an Audi S4 (B8) hence the appeal of the BMW. I go across to Wales and couple of times a year with mates and I think the M4 would be great for this, we were also thinking of the Nurburgring next year; I can't see the point in doing any of that in the Tesla. It's a proper drivers car as opposed to a fast one, although I probably only use that a couple of times a year.

Total cost of each is pretty much the same (Tesla more to lease but much less running costs) although I'll pay about £300/mth in BIK tax on the BMW.

All and any thoughts gratefully received...

Hi everyone.

Thanks for all the comments back. Looks like it's coming down on the Tesla side... I already have to "explain" the carbon-heavy S4 to the few customers that notice it so guess that seals it.

I'd like a bike as a toy but I'm sure I'd kill myself... maybe something for the weekend at some potion.

Thanks everyone, really useful.

Thanks all

Looked at the i3 but think it's the Tesla for me. The idea about a Lotus or something is great, I'd better start saving!

Thanks again to everyone
