We expect the i4’s insurance to cost $200-$300 monthly because most BMWs keep lower insurance rates than their rival models. In this case, the rival Teslas trend toward the upper end of this range.

We used Car and Driver’s car model reviews to find 2021 car values. We could not list the BMW i4’s value since 2022 is the first model year offered.
