2025 BMW 4 Series

BMW presented the redesigned 4 Series Gran Coupé and i4 Gran Coupé that now come with more power. Both refreshed editions come a few months after the introduction of redesigned Coupé and Cabrio versions of the same BMW 4 Series.

Both versions come with lower LED front light housings, new 19″ and 20″ rims, rear light housings with laser technology taken over from the M4 CSL model and a new multimedia system. Also, the turbo-petrol engines have been improved, which are now assisted by a 48-volt mild hybrid system that brings an additional 11 hp.

The BMW 430i Gran Coupé is powered by a 2.0L four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine that produces 255 hp (290 kW), instead of the previous 245 hp (183 kW), and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. BMW claims that this version consumes less fuel than its predecessor. Power is sent to the rear or all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The BMW M440i Gran Coupé is powered by a 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 386 hp (288 kW) and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) of maximum torque, instead of the previous 382 hp (285 kW) and 369 lb-ft ( 500 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear or all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The BMW i4 Gran Coupé (40 eDrive) is powered by a single electric motor with 340 hp and 430 Nm of torque, while the more powerful M50 version is powered by two electric motors that combine to produce 544 hp and 795 Nm of torque. Both versions are equipped with an 83.9 kWh battery that provides a range of 590 km (40 eDrive), and the more powerful version (M50) has a range of up to 520 kilometers.

Both versions (Series 4 Gran Coupé and i4 Gran Coupé) are equipped with a large curved display behind which is BMW’s new iDrive 8.5 multimedia system, which in the i4 version comes with a map of battery charging stations.

Production of the refreshed BMW Series 4 Gran Coupé and i4 Gran Coupé starts in a few months.

BMW i4 upgraded by AC Schnitzer

A few months ago, AC Schnitzer celebrated 35 years of tuning BMW cars. Now the German tuner has decided to show its skills on electric cars like the BMW i4. The focus was on the exterior and the suspension.

First of all, the aerodynamics of the body has been improved by installing new carbon components such as a front splitter, a front mask with wings in the corner of the lower part, inserts on the openings behind the front wheels, a subtle roof spoiler, a carbon rear spoiler (optional) and carbon wings that are placed on corners of the rear part of the car. There are also two sets of wheels, AC4 and AC1. The AC1 is adorned with five slim double spokes in silver and anthracite, while the AC4 set has five pairs of spokes that taper inward at the rim, and is available in black or silver-black.

Inside, everything remains the same as the standard model, with the tuner offering aluminum accessories such as pedal covers, iDrive controller cover and key holder.

When it comes to propulsion, AC Schnitzer didn’t touch anything. The BMW i4 comes in two versions, the eDrive40 and the M50. The BMW i4 eDrive40 is powered by an electric motor with 340 hp (250 kW) and 317 lb-ft (430 Nm) of torque. With rear-wheel drive, it reaches 62 mph in 5.5 seconds. It is equipped with an 80.7-kWh battery pack that provides a range of 300 miles (483 kilometers). The more powerful version of the M50 is powered by two electric motors with a total of 544 hp (397 kW) and 586 lb-ft (795 Nm) of torque. With all-wheel drive, it reaches 62 mph in 3.9 seconds with a maximum electronically limited speed of 140 mph (225 km / h). It is equipped with an 80.7-kWh battery pack that provides a range of 245 miles (394 kilometers).

BMW i4 production model

The all-electric BMW i4 production model has joined several other models produced by the Bavarian car company in its production facilities.

The electric BMW i4 thus becomes part of a diverse society of models produced at BMW’s parent plant. The management structures of the Bavarian car company emphasize that by 2023, more than half of the cars produced in Munich will be hybrids or fully electrified.

The BMW i4 will be offered in two versions, the eDrive40 and the M50. The BMW i4 eDrive40 is powered by an electric motor with 340 hp (250 kW) and 317 lb-ft (430 Nm) of torque. With rear-wheel drive, it reaches 62 mph in 5.5 seconds. It is equipped with an 80.7-kWh battery pack that provides a range of 300 miles (483 kilometers).

The more powerful version of the M50 is powered by two electric motors with a total of 544 hp (397 kW) and 586 lb-ft (795 Nm) of torque. With all-wheel drive, it reaches 62 mph in 3.9 seconds with a maximum electronically limited speed of 140 mph (225 km / h). It is equipped with an 80.7-kWh battery pack that provides a range of 245 miles (394 kilometers).

BMW has already invested more than 200 million euros to modernize the plant, in which, in addition to the existing conventional models powered by internal combustion engines, electric-powered models will also be produced. It has already been announced that the production of four-cylinder engines will move to production plants in Great Britain and Austria by the end of the year.
