BMW has updated the pricing and specification levels for its i4 electric car, which is on sale now.

Prices start at £49,995 and there are three variants to choose from: the eDrive35, eDrive40 and the M50. The latter is the first purely electric performance car from BMW M.

In the BMW i4 eDrive35 a 286PS electric motor drives the rear wheels and has a WLTP range of 293 miles.

The eDrive40 uses a more powerful 340PS motor and a larger battery, giving a range of up to 357 miles.

The BMW i4 M50 is equipped with electric motors at both the front and rear axle with a combined maximum output of 544PS, achieving a range of up to 315 miles in the WLTP test cycle.

Both the eDrive35 and eDrive40 can be specified in Sport or M Sport trim levels. The M50 comes in a single 'M' trim.

Having the capability to charge at a maximum rate of 180kW means a range of up to 102 miles (on the BMW i4 eDrive40) and 87 miles (on the BMW i4 M50) can be delivered within 10-minutes of charging.

Specification for the i4 Sport includes 18-inch alloy wheels and BMW's ‘Live Cockpit’. There's also a reversing camera, parking assistant, automatic air conditioning, ambient lighting, LED lights front and back and acoustic protection for pedestrians.

M Sport models have different bumpers and wheels, plus alcantara seat upholstery.

The i4 sits alongside the brand’s iX1, iX3 and iX SUVs. Following the launch of the i7, an electric version of the 5 Series (i5) will come later in 2023. BMW Group plans to offer 12 electric models by the end of 2023.
