Overview

The BMW i4 eDrive40 (2024-…) is an all-electric rear-wheel drive liftback. It came out in 2024 replacing the older BMW i4 eDrive40 (2021-2024). Brand new, the car starts around $57,900.

The BMW i4 eDrive40 (2024-…) has a 83.9 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 288 mi on a single charge — ranked №213 out of 852 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The BMW i4 eDrive40 (2024-…) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 250 kW (335 hp) of power and 317 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 5.4 seconds (№37 out of 118 ranked positions, among 852 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 118 mph.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for BMW i4 eDrive40 (2024-…) is 288 miles, ranking it №81 out of 253 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The BMW i4 eDrive40 (2024-…) in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 1 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 11 kW, which translates to roughly 35 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The BMW i4 eDrive40 (2024-…) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 207 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use EV Charging Calculator.

How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?

BMW i4 eDrive40 (2024-…) comes in the following dimensions:

Length: 188.3 in
Width: 81.6 in (including side mirrors) or 72.9 in (excluding side mirrors)
Height: 57 in
Wheelbase: 112.4 in (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
Curb weight: 4684 lbs (weight of the empty car, no people or cargo)

How much cargo space does it offer? Does it have a front trunk?

Behind the rear seats of the BMW i4 eDrive40 (2024-…), you'll find 16.6 cubic feet of storage space (№87 out of 155 ranked positions, among 852 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions).
