A 2023 BMW i4 M50 xDrive Gran Coupe sold for $37,500 at an online auction on Cars&Bids that concluded November 10, 2026. The vehicle originally sold for $81,620 in July 2023, and the sale proceeds will be used to satisfy the outstanding loan on it.
Why it matters
The sale reflects a steep loss from the original purchase price and comes as BMW prepares to phase out the i4, which will not be refreshed for the 2027 model year. The result offers a data point for buyers and owners weighing the resale value of electric vehicles.
The vehicle produces 536 hp and accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 3.9 seconds, with an EPA-rated range of 227 miles on 20-inch wheels. The factory warranty runs until July 2027 or 50,000 miles and is transferable.
The players
BMW
BMW is a German luxury automaker that produces the i4 electric sedan and has announced it will not refresh the model for the 2027 model year.
Cars&Bids
Cars&Bids is an online auction platform for enthusiast and collector vehicles where the i4 was sold to the highest bidder.
The details
The car had 19,100 miles on its odometer and a clean California title with no accident history, and a Carfax report showed no mileage discrepancies. It was last serviced in August 2025 at 14,177 miles, including a cabin air filter replacement and brake fluid flush, and the seller must pay off an outstanding loan before the title can transfer.
Timeline
July 2023: The vehicle was originally purchased for $81,620.
August 2025: The vehicle was serviced at 14,177 miles.
November 10, 2026: The online auction concluded with the sale.
July 2027: The factory warranty expires or at 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Before the end of 2026 or in early 2027: BMW is expected to phase out the i4.
Roadmap
The sale comes as BMW ends production of its i4 electric sedan without a 2027 refresh, shifting the model toward the used market. The result illustrates how depreciation is accelerating for electric vehicles as automakers move through their model cycles.
Buyers considering a used i4 can expect prices in the $36,000 to nearly $50,000 range, and the transferable factory warranty runs until July 2027 or 50,000 miles. Owners of similar vehicles should note that significant depreciation can occur quickly after purchase.
The takeaway
Used electric vehicle values can fall sharply within a few years, so buyers should weigh depreciation alongside purchase price. Checking service records and warranty transferability can help protect resale value.
What happens next
BMW is expected to phase out the i4 before the end of 2026 or in early 2027, and the factory warranty on this model year expires in July 2027.
