Price & Release Date for BMW i4
The new eDrive35 edition of the 2023 BMW i4 starts at USD 51,400 (excl. USD 995 destination and handling fee). BMW anticipates beginning delivery of the entry-level model in Q1 2023. (January-March 2023). The eDrive40 and M50 models will presumably be on sale a little early, most likely in the fall of 2022.
The 2023 i4 eDrive40 has a base price of USD 55,900, which is USD 500 more than that of the 2022 i4 eDrive40 (excl. USD 995 destination and handling fee). Starting at USD 67,300, the 2023 i4 M50 is USD 1,400 more expensive than the 2022 i4 M50 model (excl. USD 995 destination and handling fee). Because of rising raw material costs and the influence of geopolitical events, as well as negative global economic indications, automakers have had to raise prices.
BMW i4 eDrive35 with a 260-mile range will launch in Q1 2023.
In a press statement today, BMW unveiled the newest and least expensive i4 model, outlining some of its features and the expected price for US consumers.
The carmaker claims that the most recent EV model includes the same Gen5 eDrive powertrain technology featured in both the iX and its i4 siblings. The battery pack for the BMW i4 eDrive35 is smaller (70.2 kWh), providing 66 kWh of net energy.
Lower predicted range is the result, particularly when compared to the eDrive40 with its 81 kWh pack. Additionally, the eDrive35 will produce much less horsepower and torque than any of the other variants and slightly less acceleration than the eDrive40’s single-motor version.
The three i4 choices are contrasted side by side as follows:
The initial MSRP is the final distinction you’ll see. BMW’s cheapest EV model in the US will be the i4 eDrive35, but even after delivery and handling, it only costs $4,500 less than the eDrive40.
BMW estimates that the i4 eDrive35 will start being produced in Munich in Q4 of this year, with sales to the US following in Q1 of 2023.
Overview
The BMW i4 sedan is an essential component of the company’s growing EV lineup. With a battery powertrain and extremely refined driving characteristics, it delivers the styling of the 4-series Grand Coupe. Three different i4 variants are available: The eDrive35 has 281 horsepower and 260 miles of EPA range, while the eDrive40 delivers 335 horsepower with an estimated 300 miles of driving. The first two models are single motor rear-drive. In the fiery, all-wheel-drive, 536-hp i4 M50, the distance shrinks to 245 miles. It is a huge praise that the latter drives like an M3 with greater handling. Compared to an M3 Competition, the M50 accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in only 3.3 seconds and from 50 to 70 mph in just 2.0 seconds, which is 0.7 seconds faster than the BMW. The i4 is a superb daily driver when not engaged in ab-toning acceleration runs. It’s a thrilling and elegant sedan with a supple ride and highly rewarding sports-sedan handling, while lacking the steering feel we prefer in other M cars.
Price and availability of the BMW i4
The lowest spec model of the BMW i4, the i4 eDrive 40, which has just one electric motor, is priced at $55,300. The performance i4 M50 variant, though, costs at least $65,900.
Even with the price increases, that makes it more expensive than the base-model Tesla Model 3, with which BMW appears to be competing.
For purchasers wishing to upgrade to their first electric saloon, the Polestar 2, another high-quality EV alternative, is offered at roughly the same price point. Many people might choose the advantages of a well-known brand like BMW.
BMW previously stated that deliveries would start in March 2022, but the company hasn’t made a big deal out of it just yet. Depending on where you reside and what choices and extras you select, there may be some automobiles accessible at dealerships, according to the BMW website.

BMW currently sells two different models of its all-electric i4 sedan in the US, but starting in 2019, the carmaker will offer a third, more economical model. BMW revealed the 2023 i4 eDrive35 on Monday. When it comes to the US in the first quarter of 2023, the EV will start at $52,395 – with a $995 destination fee included.
The BMW i4 eDrive35 is the entry-level model in the lineup, and it has a smaller battery and a weaker motor than the eDrive40 and M50 models. The eDrive35’s useable battery capacity is 66 kWh, and BMW predicts that it will have an EPA range of roughly 260 miles. The M50 and eDrive40, in contrast, should provide you with a range of roughly 271 and 301 miles, respectively. The battery of the eDrive35 can move from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes thanks to DC rapid charging.
The eDrive35 produces less power than its two predecessors because it only has a single back axle motor. It is projected to have 281 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The eDrive 40 has 55 more horsepower than that. The eDrive35 appears to be only slightly slower than its more expensive sister. According to BMW, the automobile can reach 60 mph from 0 in 5.8 seconds. The same accomplishment may be accomplished with the eDrive40 in 5.5 seconds. When you consider that the starting prices of the eDrive40 and M50 are $56,395 and $66,895, respectively, those are decent tradeoffs all things considered.
The eDrive35’s interior is equipped with the same dashboard as the eDrive40. Behind a single curved glass surface, a 12.3-inch infotainment display and a 14.9-inch instrument panel are to be expected. The same safety equipment, such as automated emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, ought to be included as well. Before the year is over, BMW anticipates starting production on the 2023 i4 eDrive35.
It is virtually as speedy as the i4 eDrive40, despite having less power.
The BMW i4 eDrive35, which has a smaller 70.2 kWh battery pack (excellent for 260 miles of range) and a single 281 horsepower and 295 pound-foot motor that propels it to sixty in 5.8 seconds, has been added and is likely to become the standard model for the i4 portfolio. Deliveries of this model version are scheduled to begin in the US in Q1 2023 after making their debut in Europe in Q4 2022.
The starting price of the i4 eDrive35 is $52,395 plus $995 for destination, but it excludes the $7,500 federal tax credit and any state incentives. The EPA has not officially endorsed the 260-mile range; it is presently simply an estimate from BMW and only applies to the 18-inch aero wheels.
Compared to the eDrive40 and M50 models, which both feature a separate 83.9 kWh (80.7 kWh useable) battery pack and can be charged at up to 200 kW, the charging pace is a little slower. According to BMW, the eDrive35 model will only charge at a maximum of 180 kW, or 10 to 80 percent, in 32 minutes, or just one minute longer than the other two versions with the greater charging rate.

Is the BMW i4 out of stock?
Like many automakers transitioning to EVs, BMW has announced that it sold out of every 2021 model of its new i4 electric vehicle. With its all-electric iX Sports Activity Vehicle, the company followed suit.
In Munich, BMW recently began i4 series production. The company reportedly made the EV available for preorder earlier this month, and it swiftly sold out, according to a report by CarsDirect. According to the article, delivery of the i4 eDrive40 and M50 trims have both sold out.
Directly from the official BMW website, according to CarsDirect. The first deliveries for both trims are sold out, according to the i4 preorder page. BMW anticipates starting delivery in June 2022.
To pre-order the i4, customers have to put down a $1,500 refundable deposit. They’d probably have to wait until next summer for a second wave of delivery if they hadn’t already done so. Fortunately, next summer starts in June 2022, so maybe folks won’t have to wait too long.
The starting MSRP for the i4 eDrive40 is $56,395 and includes destination. Rear-wheel drive, a single electric motor, 335 horsepower, and a 5.5-second zero-to-60-mph pace are all hallmarks of this model. According to BMW, it can go about 300 kilometers on a single charge.
The performance-focused M50 will set you back at least $66,895. It has 536 horsepower and is an all-wheel drive version with dual motors. The M50 has a 3.7 second 0-60 time and a range of about 245 miles.
The subject of “how many were allocated” frequently arises as we continue to receive numerous accounts of EVs “selling out.” Although it’s not usually the case, automakers occasionally disclose that figure. According to what we gather, BMW has not publicly said how many i4 or iX vehicles will be produced for the first delivery wave. BMW obtained 2,095 pre-orders for the i4 and 952 for the iX in the US, according to a story we published in July 2021.
