BMW Australia will reintroduce the fully electric i4 Gran Coupe to local showrooms by the end of 2025, but only in a single variant with upgraded specification and technical improvements.
Since its initial launch in early 2022, the BMW i4 has recorded 3,340 Australian registrations, with the eDrive35 variant accounting for 2,523 of that total.

The updated model, the BMW i4 eDrive35, is priced below the fuel-efficient vehicle Luxury Car Tax threshold of $91,387. Australia misses out on the flagship i4 M60 performance variant that was globally debuted in mid-2025 which would have easily cost over $100k.
