BMW I4 Towbars

BMW i4

The i4 is the most discrete electric vehicle in BMW’s offering, whilst the i3 had the ‘Electric look’, the BMW i4 has taken a much more subtle approach and the vehicle simply looks like an EV version of the BMW 4 Series, making it much less of a sustainable statement.

The BMW i4 is available in 2 versions, the entry-level eDrive 40 has rear-wheel drive and a singular electric motor, whilst the top-of-the-range M50 has two motors that power four-wheel drive.

More about the BMW i4

The battery itself is located under the floor of the vehicle, which prevents it from imposing on any storage space within the vehicle. The range on the battery found in the eDrive 40 is 367 miles, should you choose to upgrade to the M50 model the range drops to 318 miles due to the heavier design.

The interior of the vehicle lives up to BMW’s luxury standard, with the combination of a stylish finish and practical perks you can travel comfortably for miles at a time. The driving position sits you close to the road and is highly adjustable to suit every driver. The infotainment set-up features BMW’s latest iDrive system, which is based on a new operating system with pin-sharp graphics.

For the passengers within the vehicle, you have plenty of leg and headroom along with an abundance of internal storage. The boot capacity is sizeable with underfloor storage space for the battery charging cables.

The i4 is a brilliant choice if you are wanting to test the EV waters whilst remaining discrete. The body shape itself is very similar to the 4 Series Grand Coupe, maintaining the sporty look of the vehicle with sleek edges and angled lights. With seven different versions of the vehicle, there is certainly plenty of options to choose from.

What’s the Towing Capacity of The BMW i4?

The towing capacity for the BMW i4 is up to 1600kg, allowing it to tow a cycle carrier, trailer, or small caravan. It is important to remember that not all Electric Vehicles are homologated to tow. The best way to receive an accurate towing capacity for your vehicle is by checking your vin plate. This is usually located under the bonnet or on the passenger door sill. Our sales team will be happy to help if you need any further assistance.

Which Towbar is best for my vehicle?

The fixed flange towbar is an excellent option for those who do not wish to remove the Towbar after they have finished towing, although the chunkier design is known for causing some interference from the rear parking sensors. The fixed flange towbar is great for pairing with towing accessories such as bumper protector plates and bolt on cycle carriers. The accessories use the bolt on plate at the rear of the towbar meaning the driver is able to use the accessories at the same time as towing.

The fixed swan neck towbar has a thinner towbar neck to the fixed flange towbar and therefore is less likely to be detected by parking sensors; however, this is not guaranteed. This is a great option for those who prefer a sleeker-looking towbar but do not want to remove it after towing is completed. The fixed swan neck is compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and can be used with all cycle carriers that clamp on to the towball.

The detachable swan neck towbar is the perfect choice for those who want to protect their vehicle's aesthetic. Once towing is completed, the towbar neck can be removed, and the Towbar will appear practically invisible. The towbar neck is removed by unlocking the neck and using a twist and push action. The detachable towbar is also compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and all clamp on style cycle carriers.

Will it require a bumper cut?

Before fitment of your towbar, we will need to remove the bumper however, the good news is that we won't have to cut the bumper.
