The i4 will be offered as the $56,395 i4 eDrive40 and $66,895 i4 M50 when it goes on sale early next year.

The i4 eDrive40 features a rear electric motor rated at 335 hp and an estimated range of 300 miles per charge while the i4 M50 – the first electric M car – has a 536 hp all-wheel-drive powertrain and a range of 245 miles.

Zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration is listed at 5.7 seconds and 3.9 seconds, respectively, and an artificial "engine" noise is available for drivers that was developed in collaboration with film composer Hans Zimmer.

Both models have 200 kW charging capability that can fill their 83.0 kWh battery packs with 90 miles worth of electricity in 10 minutes at a compatible charging station.
