Our Verdict
This BMW i4 M50 presents a relatively lo
Although this i4 M50 is only three years old, a few practical checks are worthwhile before purchase. First, confirm the remaining manufacturer warranty — BMW offers a three-year unlimited mileage warranty, so cover may be close to expiring, and the battery warranty runs for eight years or 100,000 miles, so that should still be intact. Ask for evidence of any software updates carried out, since BMW has issued several over-the-air improvements for the i4 range covering infotainment and driver assistance systems. Given that tyres are the most common MOT failure reason for this model, inspect the current set for tread depth and even wear, and budget for premium replacements if needed.
When viewing the car, pay particular attention to the high-voltage charging cable and any signs of damage to the charging port. Check that both the home and rapid-charging functions work as expected, and ask the seller to demonstrate them. Look for any warning lights on the dashboard, particularly relating to the battery management system or driver assistance features, and verify that any optional M Sport or Technology Pack equipment is functioning correctly. Finally, confirm the vehicle's history through HPI and the BMW connected drive account transfer process to avoid any complications after purchase.
Running an electric BMW i4 M50 is significantly cheaper than its petrol or diesel equivalents, particularly for fuel and road tax. The M50's official WLTP range is around 257 miles, with real-world driving typically delivering 200-230 miles depending on conditions and driving style. Home charging costs are roughly £8-£10 for a full charge at current electricity prices, and rapid DC charging at motorway services will be higher. The vehicle is exempt from VED (road tax) charges until at least 2025, after which it falls into the standard £195-per-year band for electric vehicles.
Insurance for the i4 M50 sits in a higher group due to its performance credentials, typically group 40-43, so annual premiums often range from £800-£1,500 depending on driver profile and location. Servicing costs for EVs are generally lower than combustion equivalents, with BMW offering condition-based servicing, but main dealer visits can still run £300-£500 when due. Tyres are the main consumable cost, with performance tyres for the M50 often priced at £200-£350 each. Overall estimated annual running costs are around £1,000-£1,400, dominated by insurance and occasional tyre replacement.
The February 2026 MOT recorded a pass with no advisories or defects, so there is no specific MOT failure pattern to follow up on for this individual car. However, given that tyres are the leading MOT failure reason across the 7,376 BMW i4 models analysed, a thorough tyre inspection is essential. Check all four tyres for tread depth (the legal minimum is 1.6mm, but anything below 3mm suggests replacement is imminent), look for uneven wear patterns which may indicate suspension or alignment issues, and check the sidewalls for any cracking or bulges, particularly on a car with this level of performance potential.
Beyond tyres, the second most common MOT failure reason in the aggregate data is related to the windscreen washer system, so verify that the washer jets are functioning correctly and that the reservoir is topped up with appropriate screenwash. For an electric vehicle of this age and performance level, also inspect the charging cable for any signs of damage, check the charging port for debris or corrosion, and ensure the cable stows correctly in its designated compartment. Inspect the brakes — EVs use regenerative braking which reduces wear on friction components, but the discs and pads should still be checked for corrosion given the limited use of the friction braking system. Finally, examine the underside of the vehicle for any signs of damage from speed humps or kerbs, particularly given the M50's lowered M Sport suspension.
Registered in March 2023, this blue BMW i4 M50 has covered 23,135 miles across roughly three years, implying an annual mileage of around 8,000 miles — slightly below the 9,684-mile model average. The single MOT on record, dated February 2026, was passed with no advisories or defects recorded. With an 85% model pass rate across 7,376 vehicles analysed, this particular car sits on the favourable side of the aggregate trend. As a high-performance electric vehicle, it brings the dual appeal of strong performance credentials and zero tailpipe emissions.
Based on aggregate MOT data across 7,376 BMW i4 vehicles, the model achieves an 85% MOT pass rate, which sits broadly in line with the UK average for premium electric vehicles. The most common failure points — tyres and windscreen washer issues — are relatively minor maintenance items rather than fundamental mechanical concerns.
