Summary

The BMW i4 M50 is a 5-seat liftback with all-wheel drive, sold new from 2024 to 2025, when it cost £72,375 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 3.9 seconds, quicker than 85% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 280 miles (450 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 59% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 31st of 38 liftbacks.

It uses around 3.4 mi/kWh (181 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 81.3 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 130 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 319 miles (514 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2024 example is estimated at £34,400–£38,700 and a 2025 one at £41,300–£47,000, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2024 car should still manage about 268 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
