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 characteristics: smart styling, interior quality, and sharp 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 provide excellent driving engagement, precise steering, and keen handling that rivals or exceeds competitors like the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2.

The i4 shares its platform with the 4 Series Gran Coupe, offering four doors and space for four adults, though rear legroom is modest and the sloping roofline can feel restrictive. The 470-litre boot with hatchback opening and 40:20:40 folding rear seats provides practical storage, though depth is limited for bulky items. 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 the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2, with standard equipment levels requiring supplementary options for keyless entry, heated steering wheel, and semi-autonomous driving features. BMW's three-year unlimited-mileage warranty and eight-year/100,000-mile battery cover provide reassurance.

Best for: Drivers prioritising engaging handling and driving dynamics, those seeking premium interior quality, buyers with home charging capability, and enthusiasts wanting explosive performance (M60).

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those needing maximum rear-seat space, drivers relying solely on public charging networks, or buyers seeking comprehensive standard equipment without options spending.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the i4 if: You prioritise engaging handling and driving dynamics, seek premium interior quality, have home charging capability, or want explosive performance with the M60.

Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious, need maximum rear-seat space, rely solely on public charging, or require comprehensive standard equipment without additional options spending.

Competitive Position: The BMW i4 is the most complete and satisfying mid-size executive electric car available. It delivers superior driving engagement compared to the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2, with a more polished ride, sharper handling, and an excellent driving position. Whilst the Kia EV6 offers better value and more practical space, the i4's premium interior quality and rewarding dynamics justify its higher price for discerning drivers. The i4 remains the benchmark for those prioritising driving pleasure in the premium electric saloon segment.
