The Gist

BMW is reportedly working on an electric version of its popular i4 in a convertible format, aiming to fill a major gap in the current EV market.

BMW is set to expand its electric vehicle lineup with the introduction of an all-electric i4 Convertible, according to recent reports. Citing sources close to the automaker, BMWBLOG suggests the new model is slated for a 2028 debut, marking a significant step for the brand in the niche open-top EV segment.

A Rare Contender in the EV Market

The move would place BMW among a very small group of manufacturers offering electric convertibles. Currently, the market for open-air electric driving is extremely limited. In the United States, for instance, buyers looking for a new EV convertible have only one high-end option available, which carries a steep starting price of over $206,000.

By bringing an electric i4 Convertible to market, BMW aims to provide a more accessible—though still premium—alternative for enthusiasts who want the combination of zero-emission driving and an open-top experience. While technical specifications remain under wraps, the model is expected to leverage the same platform and performance characteristics that have made the standard i4 sedan a success.
