Overview

The all-electric BMW i4 sedan is an important piece of BMW's expanding EV portfolio. It offers the style of the 4-series Grand Coupe with a battery powertrain and highly refined road manners, which combine for a 10Best award-winning combination. There are three distinct i4 flavors: The first two are single-motor rear-drive, with the eDrive35 offering 281 horsepower and 260 miles of EPA range, while the eDrive40 produces 335 horsepower with an estimated 300 miles of driving range. That figure drops to 245 miles in the spicy, all-wheel-drive 536-hp i4 M50. The latter drives like a better-riding M3, which is a mega compliment. The M50 reaches 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds, 0.2 second quicker than an M3 Competition, and it can jump from 50 to 70 mph in just 2.0 seconds—0.7 second quicker than the Bimmer. When not performing ab-exercising acceleration runs, the i4 is an admirable daily driver. Although it lacks the steering feedback we prefer in other M cars, it's an exciting and refined sedan with a supple ride and deeply satisfying sports-sedan handling.

What's New for 2023?
As the BMW i4 debuted just last year, the 2023 i4 receives only minor options changes. A new, entry-level eDrive35 model joins the lineup and uses a smaller 66.0-kWh battery pack to achieve a claimed 260-mile range. BMW's M 50 Years special emblems are offered on the i4 M50. The 18-inch M Bi-color Midnight Grey wheels with all-season tires are no longer offered. The Iconic Sounds Electric option— which enables a variety of synthesized sounds played through the car's speakers and coordinated with its acceleration—will be sold separately from the Premium package.

Pricing and Which One to Buy
eDrive35 $52,995
eDrive40 $58,095
M50 $69,695

We prefer the higher-performance M50 over the less expensive—and less powerful—eDrive35 and eDrive40 trims. The M-badged model comes standard with a more assertive appearance, including 19-inch wheels. It also has a beautifully tuned suspension that revels in aggressive driving but is calm and comfortable around town. Upgraded brakes with blue calipers are also included on the M model. We like the look of the optional 20-inch rims and the improved performance of their wider, stickier tires, but they drop the M50's estimated driving range from 270 to 227 miles. We'd enhance the interior with one of the vernasca leather options, the Premium package (ambient interior lighting, heated seats and steering wheel, lumbar support), and individual options such as the adaptive LED headlights, ventilated front seats, Harman Kardon sound system, and wireless charging.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance

The 2023 i4 feeds electrons to either one or two electric motors, depending on the model. The eDrive35 is one of two single-motor rear-drive options using a 281-hp unit. The eDrive40 features a single motor on the rear axle that makes 335 horsepower. The M50 has an electric motor on both axles, which together provide all-wheel drive and produce 536 horsepower and 586 pound-feet. The M50 we tested hit 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, which is quicker than a rear-drive M3 Competition. The rear-drive i4 rolls on a standard set of 18-inch rims; 19-inchers are optional. Conversely, the all-wheel-drive M50 is fitted with either 19s or 20s, and it has adaptive dampers and a variable-ratio steering system. The i4 M50 that we drove delivered immediate and forceful thrust, and even though it weighs considerably more than an M3, its lower center of gravity helps it move assuredly and gracefully.


EV-Motor, Leistung und Leistung

Der i4 2023 speist je nach Modell entweder einen oder zwei Elektromotoren mit Elektronen. Der eDrive35 ist eine von zwei einmotorigen Heckantriebsoptionen mit einem 281-PS-Aggregat. Der eDrive40 verfügt über einen einzigen Motor an der Hinterachse, der 335 PS leistet. Der M50 verfügt über einen Elektromotor an beiden Achsen, die zusammen für Allradantrieb sorgen und 536 PS und 586 Pfund-Fuß leisten. Der von uns getestete M50 erreichte 60 Meilen pro Stunde in 3,3 Sekunden, was schneller ist als ein M3 Competition mit Heckantrieb . Der i4 mit Heckantrieb rollt auf einem Standardsatz 18-Zoll-Felgen; 19-Zoller sind optional. Im Gegensatz dazu ist der M50 mit Allradantrieb entweder mit 19er- oder 20er-Getrieben ausgestattet und verfügt über adaptive Dämpfer und ein Lenksystem mit variabler Übersetzung. Der von uns gefahrene i4 M50 lieferte sofortigen und kraftvollen Schub, und obwohl er deutlich mehr wiegt als ein M3 , sorgt sein niedrigerer Schwerpunkt dafür, dass er sich sicher und elegant bewegt.
