Again just look at RAV4 vs X3 sales numbers.
Model 3 is a barrel on wheels with batteries, and it starts from $29,000 (That's exactly what it deserves, so ok value) BMWs or any German from 30 years ago have better quality, better breaks, better ride, better suspension.
i4 is a luxury German sedan and it starts from $52,000

I4 M50 is definitely more luxury and/or premium feeling. As far as chassis tuning, driving dynamics, drivetrain tuning...that goes to the Model 3 Perf. The Tesla surprisingly is more of a drivers car. Think we are going to have to wait for the true M model EVs from BMW. Like the experience Kyle had with the i5 M60 test drive, the drivetrain tuning in i4 does similar things. It just doesn't let you really hustle the car in and out of corners. Tesla also builds the lightest EVs, so that helps with driving dynamics quite a lot.
