BMW i4 2025 Model Overview
The BMW i4, BMW’s best-selling all-electric model in the United States, has received a slight refresh for the 2025 model year. While there have been no major changes to the battery and powertrain, the latest BMW i4 will now offer more range than its predecessor. Certain configurations of the i4 can now travel up to 318 miles on a single charge.
BMW i4 Sales and Production
During the second quarter of 2024, BMW sold 7,066 i4 units in the U.S., making it half of the total 14,081 EV units sold. This indicates that the i4 outsells the other three BMW electric models combined. The 2025 BMW i4 has entered production this month, signaling an eagerly awaited release.
Variants of BMW i4
There are currently four versions of the BMW i4 available in the U.S. market – the i4 eDrive35, i4 eDrive40, i4 xDrive40, and the i4 M50 xDrive. The 2025 model year is available for order in the i4 eDrive40, i4 xDrive40, and i4 M50 xDrive variants. It remains to be seen if BMW will offer a 2025 i4 eDrive35 in the near future.
Changes in Range
The 2025 BMW i4 offers increased maximum driving ranges compared to the 2024 model. The i4 eDrive40 with standard 18-inch wheels can now travel up to 318 miles according to EPA estimates, an increase of 17 miles or 5.6% over the previous model year. However, the all-wheel-drive i4 xDrive40 has seen a decrease in range by a few percentages.
Pricing and Tax Credits
Prices for the 2025 BMW i4 have seen a slight increase compared to the 2024 model. The base price for the i4 eDrive40 starts at $57,900, while the i4 M50 is priced at $70,700. The destination charge has also gone up to $1,175 for all models. Unfortunately, the model is not eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit due to being imported from Europe.
Conclusion and Delivery
With production of the new i4 underway and the first customer deliveries in the U.S. expected to start in the coming months, BMW enthusiasts can anticipate experiencing the enhancements that the 2025 BMW i4 has to offer. The inclusion of improved range and minor updates make the i4 a competitive choice in the electric vehicle market.
