BMW has priced the iX4 in Romania from €69,152 including VAT for the 40 xDrive and €74,597 for the 50 xDrive. The €5,445 difference separates two all-wheel-drive versions offered when ordering opens, ahead of the model’s planned March 2027 market launch. These are Romanian prices, rather than a price announcement for every European country.
BMW Romania published the figures in its 12 October 2026 press material. The Romanian model catalogue also displays the €69,152 entry price and provides a configurator link. Ordering availability should be distinguished from immediate delivery: the launch timetable remains a future milestone, and an individual vehicle’s delivery date needs to be established with the supplying retailer.
What the additional €5,445 buys in the specification
Both versions have an electric motor on each axle. The iX4 40 xDrive develops a stated 275 kW and 520 Nm, with a manufacturer-quoted 0–100 km/h time of 5.6 seconds. Its maximum advertised WLTP range is 638 km.
The 50 xDrive increases output to 345 kW and torque to 645 Nm. BMW quotes 4.9 seconds to 100 km/h and a top speed of 210 km/h. Its battery has 108.7 kWh of usable energy, while the maximum published WLTP range reaches 828 km.
| BMW specification | iX4 40 xDrive | iX4 50 xDrive |
|---|---|---|
| Romanian starting price, VAT included | €69,152 | €74,597 |
| Maximum power | 275 kW | 345 kW |
| Maximum torque | 520 Nm | 645 Nm |
| 0–100 km/h | 5.6 seconds | 4.9 seconds |
| Maximum WLTP range | 638 km | 828 km |
The 190 km difference is between the two published range maxima. It is not a guarantee of an identical advantage on every journey or with every equipment combination. These are BMW’s figures, not Carboratory road-test results. The configured vehicle’s own WLTP value is the appropriate reference when comparing two actual orders.
Romanian standard equipment includes M Sport
The local announcement explicitly includes the panoramic roof and M Sport package in the prices. Buyers do not have to add those two items simply to reach the Romanian specification described by BMW. However, the M Sport package should not be confused with the later M Performance model.
BMW’s launch material describes M wheels and M Sport brakes as elements of the package. Adaptive M suspension remains a separately listed option on the two initial versions, while it is standard on the forthcoming M60 xDrive. An M Sport designation therefore does not establish that a 40 xDrive has the range-topper’s complete chassis specification.
The Romanian catalogue explains that the displayed prices are non-binding manufacturer recommendations, include VAT and apply to the base model without additional special equipment. Binding prices come from a BMW partner. A press photograph may show extra-cost equipment, so its paint, interior or other details cannot be treated as proof of what the starting price includes.
The 50 xDrive’s charging claim has specific conditions
The iX4 uses sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology with cylindrical battery cells and an 800 V electrical architecture. For the 50 xDrive, BMW quotes a maximum DC charging rate of 400 kW. This is the system’s peak capability, rather than a constant charging rate throughout a stop.
The company also claims that ten minutes of charging can add up to 387 km of range. Its technical note states that the figure was determined under ISO 12906 using the WLTP cycle, with charging infrastructure capable of delivering the vehicle’s maximum DC rate. It is not a measurement of motorway distance added at any available public charger.
BMW identifies battery temperature, condition and state of charge, ambient temperature, vehicle equipment, charging settings and the power supplied by the station among the factors affecting the result. The Romanian product page lists a 680–828 km WLTP range interval for the 50 xDrive. That spread is another reason to retain the selected configuration’s value rather than applying 828 km to every car.
The cabin’s features need a configuration check
BMW Panoramic iDrive and Operating System X organise the new display and control layout. The presentation brings together Panoramic Vision, the central screen, steering-wheel controls and the 3D head-up display system. Its equipment descriptions include market qualifications, so the Romanian order specification remains necessary when separating standard features from options.
The press material describes electrically adjustable seats with a memory function and a rear backrest split 40:20:40. Rear-seat heating and the Harman Kardon audio system are listed as options for the initial versions. The latter is standard on the later M60 in the launch description, which is another equipment distinction that should not be lost when reading a combined model-family brochure.
These details matter to a price comparison because two configured vehicles can diverge from the difference between the headline starting prices. The €5,445 gap compares the announced entry points. It does not establish the final gap after different paint finishes, interiors, suspension choices or audio options have been selected.
M60 ordering follows in January
BMW says orders for the iX4 M60 xDrive will open in January 2027. The launch release gives preliminary figures of 450 kW, 875 Nm and 3.9 seconds from 0–100 km/h for that version. The provisional status belongs with those figures, rather than being discarded because the model has already been presented.
Neither €69,152 nor €74,597 is an M60 price. They apply to the Romanian 40 xDrive and 50 xDrive respectively. For those two versions, the immediate purchasing reference is the local configuration and retailer quotation, while March 2027 remains BMW’s announced market-launch date.
