BMW i4 Hatchback

BMW have been incredibly thoughtful to the UK customers by offering a wide-range of specifications / options for them to choose from – especially when you compare this to the Tesla Model 3. Also note that the price you pay as a business customer will exclude Vat and as a personal customer this will include Vat. Using our deal configurator, amend the annual mileage, term and initial rental to get your instant price. Expect to pay anywhere between £450 - £700 per month depending on the option you select.

BMW are one of the world’s leading manufacturers for quality and driver experience. This has very much translated into the electric car segment, with many independent review websites now rating this Sedan as anywhere between 8 – 9/10 or 4-4.5/5. There is very much an opinion that for UK customers wanting a true alternative to the Tesla Model 3; we envisage the BMW I4 will be a top priority car. And for those customers who want a more familiar European interior / aesthetics, then the BMW EV should be your choice for leasing. Head to our review partners, the  GreenCarGuide,  for more information on their BMW I4 test-drive and review.

With a BMW you are almost guaranteed a positive driving experience in terms of comfort, performance and styling. However, with an electric car your decision-making process isn’t just about the beauty of the car, or it’s 0-62 times. Whether you are leasing personally, via a business or on a salary sacrifice scheme you should be considering range (in relation to your regular commute), charging speeds / times, charge point locations and your home or workplace charging infrastructure. Also take into account the Whole of Life costs, so that servicing, maintenance, insurance and “fuel” form part of the decision. Contract hire is a fixed term agreement.

Almost all of our best BMW electric car leasing offers feature on our pricing partners platforms like AutoLeaseCompare, CarWow, LeaseFetcher and LeaseLoco. We also realise our customers will visit their local BMW retailer for a comparison contract hire or PCP/Hire Purchase price. However, the e-car lease team are not only the UK’s expert on EVs, but we have access to a number of finance company partners who can usually offer you or the business the best price. We regularly update our deals to ensure you get the deal you deserve.

At the time of writing, the Gran Coupe 250kW eDrive40 Sport 83.9kWh 5dr Auto is the cheapest I4 to lease within the BMW range. With an OTR of circa £55,000 compared to the £70,000+ M, this not what we would refer to as a “cheap” car but will almost certainly be a good alternative to the Tesla Model 3 RWD and Polestar Standard Range Single Motor

As discussed in our BMW i4 review, all the current models will have a usable 80.7 kWh lithium-ion battery. This will offer eDrive 40 leasing customers a range of around 295 miles on a full charge and 280 miles for those customers looking at the M50. Just consider that driving style, behaviours and weather all impact in EV, so e-the car lease team are keen to demonstrate to our customers, via our “Living with ...” tools, exactly what variances you will experience in your new I4. High-mileage motorway company car users may see less efficiency compared to some of the low-mileage urban drivers.
