BMW UK opens orders for the latest addition to its fully-electric family, the BMW i4 eDrive35. With a starting price of £49,995 (OTR), the four-door Gran Coupé offers a fully-electric range of up to 299 miles (WLTP), and is available in both Sport and M Sport trim.
The BMW i4 eDrive35 is built at BMW Group Munich Plant, alongside the eDrive40 and M50 models, with an expected production volume share of fully-electric cars to increase to 50 percent of the total manufactured volume in 2023.
BMW’s portfolio of fully-electric vehicles is growing, with the BMW i5 set to join the BMW iX1, BMW i4, BMW iX3, BMW iX and BMW i7 later in 2023. The BMW Group aims for more than 50 percent of its sales volumes to come from fully-electric vehicles no later than 2030.
