BMW i4 (2021-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 refined comfort, making the i4 one of the best driver's cars in the executive electric class.

Practicality is adequate for four adults, though rear legroom is limited and the sloping roofline can feel restrictive. The 470-litre boot with hatchback opening and 40:20:40 folding rear seats suits most family needs, though taller items may be tight. Running costs are excellent with home charging, especially on off-peak tariffs, though public charging reduces savings significantly. The i4 is more expensive than rivals like the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2, and standard equipment lags behind competitors, but superior driving dynamics and residual values justify the premium for discerning buyers.

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

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those needing maximum rear-seat space, or customers expecting comprehensive standard equipment packages.


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 traditional BMW quality.

Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious, need maximum rear-seat space, or expect comprehensive standard equipment packages.

Competitive Position: The BMW i4 is the most complete and satisfying mid-size executive electric car available. Whilst the Tesla Model 3 offers better value and the Kia EV6 provides superior practicality and user satisfaction, the i4 excels in driving dynamics and refinement. Its superior ride, handling, and driving position outmatch the Polestar 2, though it commands a premium price. For discerning drivers willing to invest in quality and performance, the i4 remains the benchmark in its class, delivering the most rewarding ownership experience despite higher costs and modest standard equipment levels.
