2022 i4 M50 range (up to) 270 miles / eDrive40 (up to) miles -- per BMW USA
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Official Press Release: The New 2022 BMW i4 eDrive40 and i4 M50. “The New 2022 BMW i4 eDrive40 and i4 M50 press release has been updated with EPA range information indicating: BMW i4 eDrive40 EPA range of 301 miles when equipped with 18-inch wheels and 282 miles when equipped with 19-inch wheels. BMW i4 M50 EPA range of 270 miles when equipped with 19-inch wheels and 227 miles when equipped with 20-inch wheels.”
Woodcliff Lake, NJ – June 1, 2021…Today, BMW is proud to announce the newest additions to the BMW i brand, the i4 eDrive40 and i4 M50 models. The i4 M50 is the first fully-electric performance model to come from BMW M GmbH. The i4 blends the functionality and space of the gran coupe design with the instantaneous power delivery of BMW’s latest 5th generation eDrive. Class-leading driving dynamics and long-distance comfort, elegant design, uncompromising workmanship, cutting-edge user-vehicle interface and advanced infotainment and driving assistance technologies all combine to deliver a zero-emissions BMW worthy of the Ultimate Driving Machine moniker. Power is provided by BMW’s latest 5th generation eDrive technology which combines the electric motors, power electronics, charging system and high-voltage battery. The electric motor, power electronics and transmission share one compact housing while the high-voltage battery measures only 4.3-inches in height and is mounted low in the floor of the new i4 for improved vehicle agility. BMW Group has been producing battery modules and high-voltage batteries since 2013 and this in-house experience shows, with the latest generation of batteries, found in the i4, having a maximum DC fast charging capacity of up to 200 kW and AC Level 2 charging of up to 11 kW. |

I don’t know if it works this simply but if you divide the EPA range / capacity, the iX is 2.9 mi/kWh and the i4 M50 is 3.2 mi/kWh |

And yet those numbers change again depending on which rims you choose, and, of course, on temperature and how you drive the car.

It will likely be similar because your breaks will give out if you get too spirited.

iX = 3.048 miles/kwh I4 M50 = 3.346 miles/kwh **EDIT** looks like someone posted it already lol But in terms of .cd drag, the iX50 and the i4 M50 have the same .25 cd of drag. The biggest differences are larger frontal area and more weight of the iX making the largest impact. But yes, if the i4 had a dedicated EV platform, it could perform better. However, as is, the i4 edrive40 and M50's are pretty efficient, not even using the "despite using an ICE" platform. It's not the most efficient obviously, however it's definintely not terrible. Also keep in mind that EPA testing weighs more on highway driving. Actual range will likely be between EPA's 270 mile range and the WLPT cycle of 317 miles (which favors more city driving). Additionally, many German vehicles are underrated using the EPA cycle as well (MB and Porsche come to mind). BMW is a conservative company, something to keep in mind. Check out Edmunds EV test on MB and Porsche cars real range vs EPa range https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/ele...s-edmunds.html

Sufficient for day-to-day use. I'd definitely burn through it quickly lol.

That's not far off what I get in my F90 mostly in Sport+.
I guess decent for a typical EV these days though.

270 miles hmm that's a compromise but good if it has risen.
Is it like Tesla where they recommend charging from 20-80% normally or different battery type as that's about 160 then.

Yes I'd be curious if that range is
1) pretty consistent if you're doing 70 to 75mph like a Taycan? Or does range start to drop down a lot when going 70 to 75 mph 2) is there an eco mode that gives more range with hypermiling? ie the Taycan gets significantly more range in eco mode than what the epa states 3) how is handling compared to a Model 3 performance? I've got ice cars but for commuting and road trips I prefer using my Tesla. Has electrify America been able to get the majority of their interstate chargers to work? For the past 1 or two years the Electrify America charger on the way to Vegas seems to be in a constant state of construction next to the tesla chargers that are all working. I'd probably get an i4 but interstate charging seems to be an issue. Lastly, are dealers putting "price adjustments" on these? |

I'm hoping it will end up the same with MB/Porsche too with range, that would bode very very well. |

Yep 259 WLTP on the 20" wheels which realistically is under 200 miles with careful driving. Not good enough.

The next owner gets that and the degradation hit too. Which will I'm sure impact residuals. Looks like the i40 is the one to have. More efficient and therefore a usable range from the same battery. |
