<p>The BMW i4 flawlessly showcases the trailblazing union of dynamism
  and sustainability in a pure electric form. It has a look that will
  set your pulse racing. The first-ever BMW i4 wears its innovative
  character on its sleeve like the sporty extrovert it is.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The car’s futuristic exterior <strong>design</strong> combines
  athletic aesthetics with a clear surface language and progressive
  precision. It is the most aerodynamic electric vehicle in its class.
  The <strong>front</strong> is characterized by expansive closed
  surfaces and precise lines. The Grey inlay in the front apron and
  vertical side openings emphasizes the functional, modern character of
  the vehicle. The absolute highlights are concise reinterpretation of
  radiator grille and the blue ring around BMW badge. Flat, strikingly
  contoured headlights and Frozen Grey accents in richly detailed,
  slender form add to the emotional flair. Thrillingly progressive, the
    <strong>side </strong>view is characterised by a long wheelbase,
  doors with frameless windows, fluid lines of the roof and short
  overhangs. Expansive, gently modelled surfaces with precise character
  lines create a modern impression that exudes elegance of a true BMW.
  The <strong>rear</strong> showcases a sharp vertical rear spoiler and
  recessed surfaces that strengthen the sporty and wide effect. The
  concise L-shaped rear LED lights with slender contours and horizontal
  lines, highlight how the BMW i4 hugs the road. Lightweight aerodynamic
  wheels contribute to enhance driving range. Air Suspension on the rear
  axle with automatic self-levelling function ensures maximum comfort
  and enhances stability on sharp turns.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Open, luxurious and fascinating, the <strong>interior </strong>brings
  a driver-focused cockpit and an ambience with generous space. The
    <strong>BMW Curved Display</strong> adds a high-quality, modern
  touch to the cockpit. The interplay of high-quality materials, a
  multimodal, intuitive operating concept, with sport seats and sport
  steering wheel, separated areas for the driver and front passenger and
  acoustic glazing create an atmosphere that is delightful for long
  journeys as it is during short drives. The sport seat gives an
  especially elegant boost with high-quality decorative stitching. Up to
  three passengers can enjoy the back seat with generous head and leg
  room. Ambient Lighting with six selectable light designs creates an
  atmosphere for every mood. Three-zone automatic climate control with
  nanofiber filter optimizes air quality.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The large tailgate with automatic opening function makes loading and
  unloading from the 470-litre luggage compartment particularly
  convenient. In addition, the functional rear bench seat folds down
  with 40/20/40 split to provide maximum storage space and increase boot
  capacity up to 1290 litres.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rear wheel drive, 50/50 weight distribution and a low center of
  gravity add superlative balance, responsiveness and deliver
  outstanding traction and directional stability in extremely dynamic
  driving manoeuvres.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>

  highly integrated drive unit within a single housing that is powered
  by an electric motor, single-speed transmission and power electronics.

  lithium-ion battery integrated in the floor has a capacity of 80.7 kWh
  providing a range of up to 590 kms. The BMW i4 has longest range than

<p>A host of <strong>BMW ConnectedDrive</strong> technologies continue
  to break the innovation barrier. BMW Live Cockpit Professional
  includes the freestanding BMW Curved Display with its connection
  between a 12.3-inch digital information display behind the steering
  wheel and a 14.9-inch Control Display with Navigation. The new
  generation iDrive display and control / operation system with new BMW

  and assists by taking over the steering.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Sustainability</strong> is in the DNA of BMW long before Sheer
  Driving Pleasure begins. BMW principle of <strong>Circular Economy -
    ‘RE:THINK, RE:DUCE, RE:USE, RE:CYCLE’</strong> cuts down use of
  primary raw materials and increases secondary materials. Reduction of
  carbon footprint is achieved throughout the value chain and at all
  stages of lifecycle by making comprehensive use of natural and
  recyclable materials and production with 100% green electricity. Even
  when the battery has reached the end of its useful life after many
  years, it is not the end by any means. In their second life, the
  battery cells on an average can be used for another ten years as an
  energy store. After the battery cells are shredded, raw materials can
  be completely recycled. The lifecycle is then complete and ready to
  begin again.</p>
