2026 BMW i4: Trims, Powertrains, Packages, and Pricing
The 2026 BMW i4 comes in three versions, and picking between them comes down to two questions: how much range do you need, and how much performance do you want. The rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 goes the farthest. The all-wheel-drive xDrive40 trades some range for xDrive traction. The M60 is the quickest version BMW builds. All three share the same 83.9 kWh battery, so the differences are in the drivetrain and the tuning. Start with the table below, then read on for powertrains, technology, packages, and coverage.

Three Powertrains, Three Different Cars
Each BMW i4 uses BMW’s fifth-generation eDrive technology, but the motor count and tuning produce genuinely different vehicles.
BMW i4 eDrive40: The Range Leader
The eDrive40 is where most shoppers should start. A single rear motor produces 335 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, reaching 60 mph in 5.5 seconds, and it is the most efficient BMW i4 in the lineup. The rear-wheel-drive layout gives it the most playful balance of the three. For a commuter merging onto Interstate 215 or State Route 60, electric torque means immediate response with no downshift to wait for.
BMW i4 xDrive40: The All-Weather Choice
The xDrive40 adds a second motor at the front axle for a combined 396 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, cutting the 0-60 time to 4.9 seconds. BMW’s xDrive system distributes torque between the axles continuously with a rear-wheel bias, which is the reason most buyers choose it: all-weather traction without giving up the driving character. At $4,400 over the eDrive40, it is the practical middle choice for most Riverside, Corona, Ontario, and Moreno Valley drivers. If you are weighing the upgrade, it is worth knowing what you can value your current vehicle at first.
BMW i4 M60: The Performance Flagship
The M60 is a performance car first. Dual BMW M eDrive motors produce 593 horsepower in Sport mode and 586 lb-ft of torque, with 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds. It has the shortest range in the lineup, so it rewards buyers who prioritize the drive over the distance. Standard M content sets it apart from the Gran Coupe trims:
- Adaptive M Suspension
- Variable Sport Steering with Servotronic
- M Sport Brakes with blue calipers
- M leather steering wheel
- BMW IconicSounds Electric
Range and Charging
BMW publishes range as a band for each trim rather than a single number, because wheel size and tire choice both affect the result. The eDrive40 covers an estimated 307 to 333 miles, the xDrive40 an estimated 268 to 287 miles, and the M60 an estimated 232 to 278 miles. Moving from 18-inch to 19-inch wheels on the eDrive40 costs roughly 26 estimated miles, which makes the wheel line on the build sheet worth as much attention as the trim badge.
Charging is straightforward. Every BMW i4 includes an 11 kW onboard charger and the BMW Flexible Fast Charger, which works with both 120V and 240V outlets. A 240V connection takes the battery from zero to full in under ten hours, and a DC fast charger covers 10 percent to 80 percent in about 31 minutes.

Technology
A single BMW Curved Display anchors the dashboard on every trim, housing a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch touchscreen running BMW Operating System 8.5, whose QuickSelect start screen provides faster access to entertainment and contacts. The voice-activated BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant handles questions and commands, and the My BMW App lets owners check charge status and locate charging stations from a phone. Over-the-air software upgrades keep the vehicle current without a visit to the dealership.

Warranty coverage is provided by BMW of North America, LLC and is subject to the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the applicable BMW limited warranties in effect at the time of vehicle delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which 2026 BMW i4 trim has the longest range?
The eDrive40 leads with up to 333 miles of estimated range on 18-inch wheels, compared with up to an estimated 287 miles for the xDrive40 and up to an estimated 278 miles for the M60. All three use the same 83.9 kWh battery; the eDrive40’s advantage comes from its single rear motor and rear-wheel-drive layout. At $59,250 MSRP, it is also the least expensive trim.
Does the BMW i4 have all-wheel drive?
Two of the three trims do. The xDrive40 and M60 both use BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive with dual motors, one at each axle, delivering continuous torque distribution with a rear-wheel bias. The eDrive40 is rear-wheel drive with a single rear motor. For drivers who want added traction on wet roads, the xDrive40 adds all-wheel drive for a $4,400 premium over the eDrive40.
How long does it take to charge a 2026 BMW i4?
On a 240V connection at 11 kW, the BMW i4 charges from zero to full in under ten hours, which suits overnight home charging. On a DC fast charger, the battery goes from 10 percent to 80 percent in about 31 minutes, and ten minutes of charging adds up to an estimated 108 miles of range to the eDrive40 or up to an estimated 88 miles to the xDrive40 and M60. Every BMW i4 comes with the Flexible Fast Charger for 120V and 240V outlets.
