Performance: Gas-Powered Precision vs. All-Electric Thrill

The 2025 BMW 4 Series delivers classic driving dynamics with a 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo engine producing 255 horsepower. Paired with an 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission, it offers quick acceleration and smooth gear transitions. The Driving Dynamics Control system lets you fine-tune your ride with ECO PRO, COMFORT, and SPORT modes, giving you flexibility for any O'Fallon road or mood. A lightweight chassis and high-precision steering system bring that signature BMW handling feel into sharp focus. In contrast, the 2025 BMW i4 reimagines power with its all-electric motor generating 335 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Acceleration is instantaneous, thanks to the torque delivery of its high-voltage lithium-ion battery. The Brake Energy Recuperation system helps recharge the battery during driving, and fast-charging options make daily electric travel more convenient than ever. The i4 offers a rewarding and forward-thinking alternative for those ready to leave fuel behind without sacrificing performance.
