Overview
The BMW i4 is a compact executive electric sedan for drivers who want BMW’s four-door format with rear-wheel drive rather than an SUV. Malaysia gets the G26 LCI eDrive35 M Sport, launched in 2025, from RM294,800. It pairs a 70.3 kWh battery with 282 hp and a claimed 500 km range.
i4 in 2026 — what's new
No BMW i4-specific 2026 update is recorded, so the Malaysian car carries into 2026 unchanged. The current range remains the eDrive35 M Sport with a 70.3 kWh battery, 282 hp, rear-wheel drive and 500 km range. Its 2025 facelift brings revised exterior design, M high-gloss Shadowline trim, 19-inch wheels, adaptive LED headlamps with BMW Selective Beam and laser tail lamps. A 2025 i4 update also introduces a silicon-carbide inverter, with eDrive35 and eDrive40 versions gaining up to 22 km of range.
