SCHEDULE A TEST DRIVE
Overview
BMW's i4 is expected to make the grade as a luxury sedan and deliver on range as an electric vehicle. The good news for consumers is that BMW accomplishes both with the 2024 i4. The 2024 i4 is offered in multiple models. The i4 eDrive35, i4 eDrive40, and i4 xDrive40 range from 282 horsepower to 396 horsepower. Those looking for a true performance vehicle may prefer the powerful i4 M50 which roars down the road delivering 536 horsepower and 586 lb.-ft. of torque. The BMW i4 xDrive40 and i4 M50 are all-wheel drive electric sedans with twin electric motors pumping power to the four wheels independently. The remaining models, the BMW i4 eDrive35 and eDrive40, are rear-wheel drive models, with BMW's expected sportiness.
Who's It For?
The 2024 BMW i4 is for the car enthusiast who wants a performance vehicle but wants to switch to an electric sedan. BMW's i4 assures prospective owners they won't give up luxury finishes when opting for an all-electric ride. Affluent consumers who have always appreciated the style and performance of a BMW won't be disappointed with any of the i4 lineup. For those looking to push the envelope on power and willing to invest a bit more, the 2024 BMW i4 M50 is an obvious choice.

What's New for 2024?
For 2024, BMW unveils a new dual-motor AWD powertrain available for its i4. The xDrive40 debuts in the lineup for the latest model year, providing consumers with an all-wheel-drive EV option for those who don't need the extra performance of the i4 M50 and don't want to pay for it. Other than this new trim level, prospective buyers won't find any significant changes from the previous model year.
Real World Performance
BMW's 2024 i4 lineup represents the automaker's fifth-generation eDrive technology paired with BMW's sought-after engineering. The i4 M50 rises to the top as the quickest of the i4 lineup, with BMW claiming the latest M50 can go from 0 to 60 mph in an impressive 3.7 seconds, though the real-life experience may beat that mark. That's not to say the i4 eDrive 40 isn't a very quick vehicle. Its 335-horsepower sedan raced to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds. As expected, the base model i4—the eDrive35—is the slowest, while still delivering plenty of power for your average driver at 282 horsepower.
All that performance is packed with an impressive battery range. The 2024 i4 features a battery capacity from 68.7 kWh up to 84.3 kWh, assuring an estimated range from 252 to 307 miles per charge. The extended range offered by these luxury performance electric vehicles is topped by the xDrive40, which serves up an impressive EPA range of 307 miles, while also offering DC-fast charging.
