BMW i4 Has Been Updated For 2024 With Improved Range And Performance Figures
The 2024 BMW i4 has rolled in with some exciting updates, including a new xDrive40 version, an improved EPA range, and a few changes in pricing. The BMW i4 lineup now consists of four versions, each available in two different wheel sizes. These versions include the rear-wheel-drive eDrive35 and eDrive40, the all-wheel-drive xDrive40 (a newcomer), and the performance-oriented, all-wheel-drive M50.
For the 2024 model year, the eDrive35 and eDrive40 versions see a $200 price increase, starting at an MSRP of $52,200 and $57,300, respectively. The new xDrive40, with all-wheel drive, starts at $61,600, and if you opt for 19-inch wheels, that’ll set you back an additional $600. The top-of-the-line M50 version sees a $1,000 price bump to $69,700, and upgrading to 20-inch wheels costs an extra $2,500. On all of those, there’s an additional $995 destination fee.
Now, let’s talk about the all-important range and performance figures. The 2024 BMW i4 offers a range between 365 km and 494 km. Here’s the detailed breakdown:
| BMW i4 version | Wheel size | Range | 0-60 mph | Top speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| eDrive35 | 18-inch | 444 km | 5.8 s | 190 km/h |
| eDrive35 | 19-inch | 406 km | 5.8 s | 190 km/h |
| eDrive40 | 18-inch | 484 km | 5.4 s | 190 km/h |
| eDrive40 | 19-inch | 455 km | 5.4 s | 190 km/h |
| xDrive40 | 18-inch | 494 km | 4.9 s | 200 km/h |
| xDrive40 | 19-inch | 449 km | 4.9 s | 200 km/h |
| M50 | 19-inch | 433 km | 3.7 s | 209 km/h |
| M50 | 20-inch | 365 km | 3.7 s | 209 km/h |
The standout improvement is in the entry-level eDrive35 version with 18-inch wheels, which now boasts 444 km of range, up from 412 km thanks to improved efficiency. The xDrive40, surprisingly, offers more range (494 km) than its rear-wheel-drive counterpart (484 km) when equipped with 18-inch wheels.
When it comes to charging, BMW claims that a full AC recharge should take 9–10 hours, while a 10-80% DC fast charge should take approximately 30 minutes. Buyers will receive two years of complimentary 30-minute charging sessions at the Electrify America charging network.
