Tested: 2022 BMW i4 eDrive40 Gran Coupe breaks the ICE:
Our eDrive40 tester was fitted with summer-spec Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 19-inch performance rubber, and it essentially equaled its 282-mile EPA rating in our more severe 75-mph highway range test by delivering a 280-mile result. Our 75-mph consumption worked out to 107 MPGe, which easily surpassed the EPA rating of 99 MPGe combined . It gets better: We108 MPGe over the 1336 miles we had the car.
On the skidpad, our eDrive40 orbited the circle to the tune of 0.87 g, a smidge less than the 0.90 g we saw in a 430i. But the i4's balance is far more neutral, to the point where disengaging the stability control is an instant ticket to an unofficial drift mode. We suspect the difference boils down to our test car's 4699-pound weight, plus the use of the same 245/40R-19 front and 255/40R-19 rear tire sizes despite the eDrive40's more rear-biased weight loading of 55 percent .
At a starting figure of $56,395, the eDrive40 chops a hair over $10K off the price of the M50. It's also about $10K more than a gas-powered 430i Gran Coupe. But it is eligible for the maximum $7500 federal tax credit, which can typically be folded into a lease deal even if you don't qualify outright. Even without that, the eDrive40 is absolutely worth the premium. It's a fantastic look into an electrified BMW future that doesn't leave fans of the brand out in the cold.
