2025 BMW i4 is here with a new design

25 April 2024, 10:55:18

2025 BMW i4 has been unveiled in the U.S. featuring a refreshed design. Slim headlights and a vertically arranged BMW kidney grille dropping deeply towards the road define the front-end styling of the BMW i4. The surround of the BMW kidney grille is now finished in matt chrome, both as standard and in conjunction with the optional M Sport package. The grille has a fully enclosed upper section with a Black high-gloss surface below topped by a matte-silver honeycomb pattern. The M Sport package for the BMW i4 includes a diffuser element in the lower section of the rear bumper, now finished in Black high-gloss.

The slim headlights have been visually and functionally upgraded. Low and high beams are generated from a single LED module, and a pair of vertical and subtly arrow-shaped LED units house the side marker lights, daytime running lights, and turn signal functions. The new headlights generate a Welcome Light animation once the driver and key come within 10 feet of the vehicle.

Adaptive Full LED Headlights are standard on the BMW i4 M50 xDrive and optional on all other models as part of the Shadowline Package. Vehicles equipped as such are also fitted with new Laserlight taillights - these are laser diodes that illuminate a fiber optic bundle, giving the rear units an intricate light graphic.

The selection of exterior paint finishes for the BMW i4 now includes Cape York Green metallic and Vegas Red metallic. A wide variety of BMW Individual paint finishes are also offered. The range of optional alloy wheel designs also features attractive new additions. 19-inch M Aero bi-color wheels can be ordered on cars specified with the optional M Sport Package.

The changes to the interior of the new BMW i4 are focused on digitalization and achieving a sharper sporting profile. The upgraded BMW iDrive with QuickSelect further reduces the number of buttons and controls in the cockpit. The automatic climate control system, seats, and steering wheel heating can now be operated by touch via the BMW Curved Display or by voice command through the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. New adjustment controls for the air vents allow the airflow direction to be adjusted using rotating and tilting movements.

The new BMW i4 is fitted as standard with sports seats in perforated Sensatec. Vernasca leather trim with decorative quilting is available in five colors including the new bi-color Black with Red Highlight. New interior trim elements include M Fine Brushed Aluminum, new Fineline Light open-pored and Grey Blue Ash open-pored fine wood trim variants. The Sensatec upholstery covering the instrument panel now has a smoother, more refined surface that extends to the upper portion of all four door panels. And customers can now specfiy a Galvanic finish for the gear selector, BMW iDrive Controller, and Start/Stop button on the center console.

2025 BMW i4s comes as standard with a two-spoke steering wheel with a polygonal rim and illuminated multifunction buttons. Adding the M Sport Package now brings an M leather steering wheel in a three-spoke design with a flat-bottomed rim and a black center stripe marking the 12 o’clock position. The three-spoke M leather steering wheel standard on the i4 M50 xDrive features M tricolor stitching and a red stripe at the top dead center.
