Should I buy a used BMW i4 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −15.75% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −15.96%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.9% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 36%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $38,472. The BMW i4 offers a refined, upscale cabin and a distinctive sportback shape that gives it broad everyday appeal.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Though the single-motor i4 eDrive40 is the least powerful version of this EV, it’s also the most efficient, provides the longest driving range, and boasts traditional RWD dynamism. The eDrive40’s motor generates 335 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque, with an 81-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack providing the juice. When equipped with the M Sport Package’s larger 19-inch wheels, the eDrive40 provides 295 miles of range while consuming electricity at the rate of 32 kWh per 100 miles, according to the EPA. Stick with the standard 18-inch wheels, and those values are 318 miles of range and 30 kWh/100 miles.
• Tech: The BMW Curved Display—which marries a 12.3-inch driver display with a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system beneath a single piece of curved glass—carries over for the 2025 model year. But BMW upgraded the infotainment system to iDrive 8.5 with Quick Select. The new iDrive 8.5 infotainment system also adds Augmented View technology to the navigation system.
• Safety: BMW equips every i4 with Active Driving Assistant. A Driving Assistance Package adds adaptive cruise control, while the Driving Assistance Professional Package adds Active Driving Assistant Pro and Extended Traffic Jam Assistant.
• Starting price: The most affordable version of the 2025 BMW i4 starts at just over $59,000.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2027 inventory to mature.
