BMW’s Most Popular M Model Now Packs Even More Power

EV Power Meets Classic BMW Style

The BMW i4 blends old-school BMW driving fun with modern electric power. It still has the sporty handling and smooth ride people love, now without using a drop of gas. This isn’t just a quiet commuter car; it’s a real driver’s car with instant torque and precision steering.

It looks sharp, feels refined, and keeps its cool with a clean, sleek design. If you’ve ever enjoyed a 3-series or 4-series BMW, you’ll feel right at home in the i4. It’s familiar but fresh, and ready for what’s next in driving.

M60 Brings More Muscle To The Lineup

BMW replaced the i4 M50 with the more powerful i4 M60. It cranks out 593 horsepower and launches from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.7 seconds. That’s a big step forward for BMW’s electric M lineup.

It still trails top EVs like the Tesla Model 3 Performance in pure acceleration, but it delivers that power with signature BMW balance. The M60 proves that electric cars don’t need to feel like spaceships; they can still feel like real drivers’ cars.

Extra Range From Smart Tech

BMW engineers added high-tech silicon carbide semiconductors to the i4’s electric motors. That small upgrade reduces power loss and improves efficiency. The change adds up to about 14 extra miles of range in some models.

It’s a clever, behind-the-scenes improvement that makes a real difference on the road. No gimmicks, just solid engineering. BMW shows that meaningful upgrades don’t always need to be dramatic. They just need to work. These little gains stack up to make the i4 smarter, more reliable, and more road-ready than ever.

Liftback Practicality In A Sleek Package

The i4 looks like a classic sports sedan from the side, but it hides a handy secret in the back, a liftback hatch. This gives it way more cargo flexibility than a traditional trunk. That design makes it easier to pack for road trips, run errands, or fit bulky gear.

It’s not just about style, it’s about smart use of space. With the rear seats folded, there’s even room for luggage or small furniture. It’s another way the i4 blends style with real-life function, giving you more car without needing an SUV.

Updated Looks Without Losing Identity

BMW gave the i4 some visual updates for 2025, but they didn’t mess with what makes it great. The kidney grille is now sleeker with matte chrome trim and a sealed-off top section. New headlights are thinner and sharper, and available laser-accented taillights give the rear a high-tech vibe.

It’s a small refresh, but it keeps the design feeling current without looking forced. The car still looks like part of the BMW family, but now it’s just a little more polished and futuristic. That’s evolution done right.

Smooth Ride, Roomy Feel

The i4 has a low stance and coupe-like profile, but inside, it feels open and inviting. There’s plenty of headroom in the front and surprisingly good legroom in the back. This is a five-seater that doesn’t feel cramped, even for taller folks.

Add in the solid sound insulation and adaptive suspension, and every ride feels calm and comfortable. You get the sporty style without sacrificing everyday practicality. It’s a great mix for drivers who want excitement and comfort in the same car.

Safety Comes Standard

BMW made sure the i4 includes important safety tech right out of the box. You get forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure alerts, and lane-keeping assist at no extra cost.

Advanced options like adaptive cruise control and stop-and-go traffic features are available too. That means the car can help ease the stress of highway driving and crowded commutes. Safety isn’t just a feature; it’s built into how the i4 thinks.

M50 Is Still A Performance Beast

The i4 M50 may not be the newest model anymore, but it’s still a powerhouse. With 536 horsepower and 586 lb-ft of torque, it rockets from 0 to 60 in just 3.3 seconds.

That makes it quicker than some gas-powered M3s, and it’s all done in smooth, silent EV style. With adaptive suspension and all-wheel drive, it grips the road and stays composed through every curve. For drivers chasing speed with comfort and control, the M50 still holds its own at the top.

Charging That Fits Your Life

The i4 supports fast DC charging up to 200 kW, so you can add 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes. That’s a real time-saver during road trips or daily errands.

At home or work, the Level 2 charger can fully refill the battery overnight. The system even supports Plug & Charge tech, which handles payment and verification automatically. Just plug it in and walk away. It’s not just about speed, it’s about making the process easy and stress-free for everyone.

Long Range, Real Numbers

The i4 lineup offers strong range options across the board. The rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 delivers up to 301 miles on a full charge, great for daily use and weekend getaways. Even the powerful M50 gets a respectable 245 miles, proving performance doesn’t always mean giving up distance.

The all-wheel-drive xDrive40 offers up to 307 miles of range, depending on wheel size and configuration. These are real numbers that match real-life needs. You can drive all day without range anxiety, tagging along.

A Cabin That Feels Premium

Inside the i4, you’ll find materials and design that feel more luxurious than the tech lab. Rose gold trim, white leather, and wood accents all blend for a warm, upscale vibe.

The new open-pore ash wood and soft-touch dashboard surfaces give the interior a handcrafted feel. And the seats offer strong support for both short and long drives. This isn’t just a place to sit, it’s a space to enjoy. From the moment you close the door, it feels like quality.

Infotainment That Gets It Right

The i4’s curved display stretches across the dash and looks impressive without being overwhelming. The system runs BMW’s iDrive 8.5 software, with voice commands, touchscreen input, and a center dial. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, along with built-in navigation and Wi-Fi.

Everything’s fast, colorful, and easy to use. The controls are smartly placed, and the screen’s size works in the cabin without stealing all the attention. It’s the kind of tech that just works, so you can focus on driving.

Strong Efficiency Where It Counts

The i4 isn’t just powerful, it’s efficient too. The eDrive40 model gets up to 113 MPGe in city driving, helping you save on charging costs over time.

Even the high-performance M50 does well for its size and power, scoring 94 MPGe in the city. If you go for larger wheels, those numbers drop slightly, but the tradeoff is style and grip. Overall, BMW proves you can build an EV that’s fast, fun, and still goes easy on energy.

Customization Without Complication

For 2025, BMW made it easier to customize your i4. You can now choose Individual paint colors like Vegas Red or Cape York Green directly in the main car builder online.

Inside, options range from aluminum trim to luxury woods, plus new steering wheel designs and seat finishes. Want it to look sleek and sporty? Easy. Prefer a luxury vibe with light leather and dark wood? That’s available too. You can build the i4 to match your style without jumping through hoops.

With updates for 2025, it’s smarter, more capable, and more refined. For drivers who want an EV that fits into daily life while still offering fun behind the wheel, the i4 stands strong. It’s not just another electric car, it’s a BMW through and through.
