BMW i4 (2023-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Rewarding and comfortable to drive	Not as well equipped as some rivals
High-quality interior	Rear-seat space could be better
M60 offers explosive performance	Expensive to buy

Quick Summary

The BMW i4 is a fully electric version of the 4 Series Gran Coupe, designed for buyers seeking an electric car that maintains traditional BMW styling, quality, and driving dynamics. The line-up comprises three powertrains: the entry-level eDrive35 with a 67.1kWh battery offering 299 miles of range, the mid-range eDrive40 with an 81.1kWh battery delivering 365 miles, and the high-performance M60 with dual motors, four-wheel drive, and a 3.7-second 0-62mph time. All models combine sharp handling with a refined driving experience, making the i4 one of the finest driver's cars in the executive electric class.

Practicality is adequate for four adults, though rear-seat space is limited and the sloping roofline can feel restrictive. The 470-litre boot with hatchback opening and 40:20:40 folding rear seats suits family needs, though taller items may prove challenging. Running costs are competitive if home charging is available, particularly on off-peak tariffs, though public charging reduces savings significantly. The i4 commands a premium price compared to rivals like the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2, and standard equipment levels lag behind competitors, requiring optional extras for features like keyless entry and semi-autonomous driving. However, strong residuals and BMW's comprehensive warranty package help offset the initial investment.

Best for: Drivers prioritising engaging handling and comfort, those with home charging capability, and buyers seeking premium electric performance without sacrificing driving dynamics.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those requiring maximum rear-seat space, or customers wanting comprehensive standard equipment without additional costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the i4 if: You prioritise engaging handling and comfort, have home charging capability, and seek premium electric performance without sacrificing driving dynamics.

Consider alternatives if: You are budget-conscious, require maximum rear-seat space, or want comprehensive standard equipment without additional costs.

Competitive Position: The BMW i4 stands as the most complete and satisfying mid-size executive electric car available. Whilst pricier than the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2, it delivers superior driving dynamics, a more refined interior, and a better driving position. The Kia EV6 offers better value and practicality, but the i4's polished ride, handling, and overall refinement make it the preferred choice for drivers who prioritise engagement and comfort over cost. The M60's explosive performance further distinguishes it from rivals, though all variants demand home charging to justify their premium pricing.
