About the BMW i4 eDrive40 (2024)
Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.
The i4 shares the body with the 4 Series Gran Coupé and is rear-wheel drive in the eDrive40. It is not a separate EV platform; the battery sits in a combustion-engine architecture. That costs some interior space compared to a ground-up EV, but keeps the driving behaviour close to the petrol and diesel variants.
In practice
WLTP figure is about 590 km with the 81 kWh net battery (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). DC charging peaks around 205 kW; 10-80% takes about 30 minutes under favourable conditions (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Owners report a substantially lower range in winter (public forums, not measured by us). The indicative list price rose from about 59,500 euro (reference date early 2024) to 61,900 euro now; this is a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast.
Points to note
The charging flap and the battery integrated in an ICE architecture push the boot and the rear space slightly below those of comparable ground-up EVs. Winter range is well below the WLTP figure according to owners; plan charging stops on longer trips. The iDrive 8 controls shift many functions to the screen; whether that works pleasantly is a matter of taste, check it on a test drive at the official dealer.
