About the BMW i4 G26
The BMW i4 (G26) arrived in 2021 as a fully electric alternative to the 4 Series Gran Coupé, sharing its CLAR platform and sleek liftback silhouette. The eDrive40 trim serves as the long-range specialist of the line-up, utilising a single rear-mounted motor to maintain the brand's signature rear-wheel-drive balance. Unlike many bespoke EVs, the i4 retains a conventional interior layout and the driver-centric ergonomics typical of a 3 Series, making it a popular choice for those transitioning from combustion power. Its 83.9kWh battery provides a competitive WLTP range of up to 367 miles, while the M Sport package adds more aggressive styling and 18-inch wheels without compromising the refined ride quality.
