The 2026 BMW i4 is the electric member of the 4 Series family. BMW builds it on the Gran Coupe body, lists it under the 4 Series lineup as the electrified entry, and gives it the same cabin, the same curved display and the same four-door shape as the gas car. What changes is everything under the floor: an 83.9 kWh battery, 81.2 kWh of it usable, and up to 333 miles of EPA-rated range in the eDrive40 on 18-inch wheels.

It starts at $57,900, and it is available in three forms: the rear-drive eDrive40 at 335 horsepower, the all-wheel-drive xDrive40 at 396, and the i4 M60 at 591. Here is what the i4 adds over a gas 4 Series: the electric powertrain, charging, pricing, and where it sits in the lineup. The shared cabin technology and the family's dimensions live on the 4 Series pages.

What the i4 Adds Over a Gas 4 Series Gran Coupe

Three things, and none of them is a trim upgrade. The first is instant torque: 317 lb-ft in the eDrive40 and 443 in the xDrive40, delivered from a standstill with no gearbox in between, through a single-speed transmission. The second is that there is no fuel stop in the ordinary sense, because the car charges where it parks. The third is quiet, which changes a commute more than most people expect.

What it does not change is the practical shape of the car. The i4 carries 16.6 cubic feet in the trunk, the same as the gas Gran Coupe body it is built on, and it uses the same interior. If you liked the 4 Series Gran Coupe and want it to be electric, this is precisely that car.

2026 BMW i4 Electric Motors and Performance

The eDrive40 uses a single electric motor driving the rear wheels, producing 335 horsepower in Sport mode and 317 lb-ft, and reaching 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. The xDrive40 adds a second motor on the front axle for all-wheel drive, 396 horsepower and 443 lb-ft, and 4.9 seconds. The i4 M60 uses dual motors with M xDrive, 591 horsepower, and reaches 60 mph in 3.6 seconds.

Top speeds are 118 mph for the eDrive40, 124 for the xDrive40, and 130 for the M60, rising to 140 mph with high-performance tires. All three use a single-speed transmission, so power arrives in one uninterrupted pull.

i4 Battery, Range and Charging Hardware

Every i4 uses the same 83.9 kWh battery with 81.2 kWh usable. Range depends on the model and, importantly, on the wheels you choose.

Model	Wheels	EPA range	MPGe city/hwy/comb
i4 eDrive40	18-inch	333 miles	121 / 115 / 118
i4 eDrive40	19-inch	307 miles	112 / 105 / 108
i4 xDrive40	18-inch	287 miles	99 / 103 / 101
i4 xDrive40	19-inch	268 miles	93 / 95 / 94
i4 M60	19-inch	278 miles	99 / 96 / 98
i4 M60	20-inch	232 miles	82 / 80 / 81

The wheel choice is worth a hundred miles across the range, so decide it on how you drive rather than on how it looks. On a 240-volt supply with the standard Flexible Fast Charger or the available BMW Wallbox, the i4 charges from empty to full in under ten hours, which is an overnight in a Fairfield garage. On a public DC fast charger, ten minutes adds 108 miles of range to the eDrive40, or 88 miles to the xDrive40 and M60.

The high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles. Every i4 has regenerative braking with two Energy Recuperation Modes, and BMW's charging network now includes access to Tesla Supercharger stations using the approved DC adapter or a Supercharger fitted with a Magic Dock.

2026 BMW i4 Pricing

Model	Power	Drive	0-60 mph	Starting MSRP
i4 eDrive40	335 hp	Rear-wheel drive	5.5 sec	$57,900
i4 xDrive40	396 hp	All-wheel drive	4.9 sec	$62,300
i4 M60	591 hp	M xDrive	3.6 sec	Ask for current pricing

Prices are BMW's starting MSRPs and exclude destination, taxes, title and registration; the i4's destination charge is not the same as the gas 4 Series figure, and the selling price is set by the dealer. Call us for the M60, which BMW does not price on its public model page.

Where the i4 Sits in the 4 Series Lineup

Alongside it, the 2027 4 Series covers the gas cars from $51,200, in coupe, convertible and Gran Coupe bodies. The M4 is the combustion performance car, and the body-style comparison covers the Gran Coupe shape the i4 uses.

One more thing worth knowing before you buy. BMW has confirmed that 2026 is the i4's final model year: production ends to make room for the Neue Klasse i3, and we already have a page on the 2027 i3. Some buyers will want to wait for it. Others will want this one now, because a final-year car is a settled, fully developed one and the allocation is finite. Ask us about the i3 timeline and we will walk you through it.
