2025 BMW i4 Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 BMW i4 is an all-electric small luxury sedan with a hatchback-style trunk. There are three versions: eDrive40, xDrive40 and M50. Each has a different powertrain configuration and power output along with different maximum range. Keep reading to get our breakdown of what to expect along with the i4's key standard features and options.
Which i4 trim does Edmunds recommend?
The eDrive40i would be our choice. We're tempted by xDrive40's additional power, but the rear-wheel-drive model's 40 miles of additional range outweighs the xDrive40's slight edge in acceleration. Being cheaper helps too. Those savings can be put toward the Driving Assistance Professional package, which includes advanced driving aids that, while not enabling hands-free highway driving, significantly reduce the driver's mental load.
