BMW i4

Electric motor and battery

The BMW i4 is sold in Pakistan by Dewan Motors in two fully electric versions. The i4 eDrive35 drives the rear wheels and, according to BMW’s official Pakistan site, reaches 100 km/h in 6 seconds with a WLTP range of 406 to 500 km. BMW’s international specification lists 210 kW and 400 Nm for this version, with a battery of about 70 kWh, 11 kW AC charging and up to 180 kW DC fast charging. The i4 M60 xDrive is the performance model, with a motor on each axle. International data lists 442 kW, 795 Nm, 0–100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and DC charging up to 205 kW.

Size and practicality

The i4 is a four-door Gran Coupé, which means it looks like a sloping-roof sedan but has a large rear hatch for the boot. BMW describes it as a full five-seater with generous head and legroom in the back, helped by a long wheelbase and short overhangs. Dewan Motors does not publish exterior dimensions or boot capacity for Pakistan, so check these at the showroom if garage space or luggage room matters to you.

Equipment

The official site highlights the updated i4’s redesigned front, new steering wheel and waterfall ambient lighting. It mentions BMW Operating System 8.5 with a quick-select start screen, the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant voice control and wireless Apple CarPlay. Adaptive LED headlights with non-dazzling high beam and cornering light, the M Sport package and a Luxury instrument panel with CraftedClarity glass are also described, but the site does not say which items are standard on each Pakistani variant. The M60 adds M-specific design and interior details.

Warranty and charging support

BMW Dewan’s official warranty page lists a 2-year, unlimited-mileage vehicle warranty and an 8-year or 160,000 km high-voltage battery warranty, whichever comes first, for fifth-generation electric BMWs such as the i4. Local press reports that buyers of BMW electric cars also receive a free wallbox charger with installation; confirm this with the dealer before you book.

Which variant to buy

At Rs 26,000,000, the i4 eDrive35 is the most affordable BMW on the current price list, and in our opinion it is the sensible choice for most buyers. Its claimed range comfortably covers city driving and most intercity trips, and rear-wheel drive keeps the classic BMW feel. The M60 xDrive costs Rs 13,699,000 more. In our view it only makes sense if you specifically want supercar-level acceleration and all-wheel drive, because day-to-day comfort and practicality are very similar.
