Where can you shop for a new BMW i4 in Arlington, TX?

BMW of Arlington, at 1105 E Lamar Blvd, is the BMW store inside Arlington, and 83 in 100 of its Google reviews are five-star. The new lineup includes the i4, i5, i7 and iX, along with the X1 and 2 Series through the X7, the 7 Series and 8 Series, and the M cars.

The store is on the East Lamar Boulevard corridor in the middle of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. It is part of Group 1 Automotive, and it runs full service, parts and financing operations on site. Shoppers can reserve an incoming vehicle from the inventory listing, so a car still on its way can be claimed before it arrives.

The other BMW stores in the metro sit in Fort Worth, Grapevine, Plano and Dallas. Buying here means a test drive, a trade appraisal or an oil change happens in Arlington itself, with no cross-metro drive. For a buyer in Arlington, Mansfield, Grand Prairie or the mid-cities, this is the BMW store to handle it locally.

Which BMW i4 trim fits your commute and budget?

The eDrive40 is the trim to start with if range and price come first. It has the highest EPA range and the lowest starting price of the three. The M60 fits a buyer who wants acceleration and sporty handling more than the lowest cost. The 2026 i4 seats five (Edmunds, 2026; Kelley Blue Book, 2026).

The eDrive40 gives the most range for the least money, and the M60 gives the most power for the most money (BMW USA and EPA, 2026).

The xDrive40 sits between the other two on price. Its all-wheel drive is the reason to pick it over the eDrive40. For a daily commuter who wants good range and sporty driving without needing all-wheel drive, the eDrive40 is the starting point.

Wheel size changes the range, so ask which wheels a car has before you compare numbers.

Should you buy, lease or finance a new BMW i4 in Texas?

BMW of Arlington offers BMW leases, new BMW financing and pre-owned car loans, so you can price an i4 as a purchase or as a lease. Before you count on a federal credit, check the date: the IRS says the New Clean Vehicle Credit is not available for vehicles acquired after Sept. 30, 2025 (Internal Revenue Service, 2026).

Price the eDrive40 at its $57,900 starting MSRP both ways. As a loan, compare the down payment and the monthly payments. As a lease, add the down payment, monthly payments, fees, mileage allowance and end-of-lease costs over the full term. Get a bank or credit-union preapproval before you discuss dealer financing, so you have a rate to compare against.

Texas adds a yearly fee for electric cars. A fully electric car at 10,000 pounds or less pays $200 at each annual registration renewal, or $400 when a new EV is issued two years of registration. Hybrids do not pay it (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026).

How do you charge a BMW i4 at home and in Dallas-Fort Worth?

Plan to charge at home, and treat public charging as the backup. Tarrant County has 294 public EV charging stations across 19 cities, with 539 Level 2 ports and 427 DC Fast ports (MyTownView, 2026).

The 2026 i4 includes the Flexible Fast Charger, a Level 2 mobile charger with a 19.7 ft cable and 120V and 240V adapters; charging at 240V gives a full charge in 10-12 hours depending on model (BMW USA, 2026). Then ask a licensed electrician for a quote before you finalize your budget. Typical Texas installs run about $800 to $2,000 plus the charger, depending mainly on distance from the panel: about $800 within 10 feet, about $1,300 for 10 to 50 feet, and $2,000 and up beyond 50 feet, excluding the charger, permits, panel upgrades and load management (Charge Pro Texas, 2026).

Keep the charging plan with your budget, not after it. A home charger you cannot install is a cost you did not plan for.

How do you value your trade-in before you visit BMW of Arlington?

Shoppers value a trade online and get pre-approved online, then finish in store at BMW of Arlington. Trade-in customers can visit with or without an appointment.

Start the trade valuation before you drive over, so you know what your current car is worth when the i4 price comes up. In an August 2026 Google review, Alicia R. wrote: “Had a great experience with BMW of Arlington. I was able to complete most paperwork remotely and what was left was done in a seemingly timely manner. Got a fair offer on trade in as well. It was definitely worth the 8 hour round trip drive to get my new 26’ M4 competition from them.”

Her visit shows what one trade-in looked like, from the paperwork done remotely to the offer she received.

What should you check on a BMW i4 test drive in Arlington?

Look at how the car shows range and charging, and ask to see the charge port. Take the i4 on the roads you drive every day, both city streets and highway, before you decide.

BMW of Arlington is at 1105 E Lamar Blvd, Arlington, TX 76011. Sales hours are Monday to Friday 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and sales is closed Sunday.

Ask which charging cable comes with the car, and how the range estimate changes with the drive you took. Bring your trade details and your preapproval so the test drive stays on the car.

How do you get the out-the-door price on a BMW i4 in Texas?

Ask for one number, in writing, that includes the dealer fees, taxes, title and registration. The Texas title fee is $28 or $33 depending on the buyer’s county, and Tarrant County, where Arlington sits, is in the $33 group (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026). The Texas Comptroller’s rule refers to a 6.25% use tax on motor vehicles (34 Tex. Admin. Code § 3.70). A dealer must notify the Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner before charging a documentary fee greater than $225 (7 Tex. Admin. Code § 84.205).

Check each line on the offer: the vehicle price, the dealer fees, the state title fee, the registration, the Texas EV fee if it applies, and the taxes. Any line you cannot explain is a question to ask before you sign.

Bring your preapproval and your trade figure to the same visit, so the out-the-door number reflects both.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the BMW i4 warranty, and does it cover the battery?

BMW’s basic warranty on the 2026 i4 runs 4 years or 50,000 miles. The high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, and that coverage transfers to the next owner (BMW USA, 2026).

How much does it cost to charge a BMW i4 at home in Texas?

The average residential electricity rate in Texas was 15.88 cents per kWh in July 2026 (Energy Factbook, 2026). Your charging cost is the kWh the car takes multiplied by your own rate. The EPA rates the 2026 eDrive40 Gran Coupe on 18-inch wheels at 29 kWh per 100 miles (fueleconomy.gov), which at 15.88 cents works out to about $4.61 per 100 miles. To refine it, check your utility’s overnight rate before you pick a charging schedule.

How does Texas heat change BMW i4 range?

AAA’s 2019 testing on five battery electric vehicles found that climate control at 20°F cut combined driving range by 41% compared with 75°F, and at 95°F it cut range by 17% (AAA, 2019). The 95°F figure is the one to plan around in a Texas summer.

What should you check on a used or certified pre-owned BMW i4?

To be certified, a pre-owned BMW at BMW of Arlington must be from a recent model year, have under 60,000 miles, and pass an inspection against a Certified checklist by a BMW-certified technician. Every BMW Certified all-electric vehicle comes with an 8-year/100,000-mile battery guarantee, and the remaining years and miles of the initial battery warranty transfer to the new owner (BMW USA, 2026). On any used i4, check the accident history, battery and charging condition, remaining battery warranty and tire wear. Don’t assume a used car qualifies for a tax credit.

What maintenance does BMW include with a new i4?

BMW’s Ultimate Care program covers scheduled maintenance on a new 2026 i4 for 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, from the in-service date. Brake pads and discs, wiper blades and the engine drive belt are not covered. Book service at BMW of Arlington online, in person or by phone.

Our Google record, as of October 2026, is 4.5 stars across 5,810 reviews. In an August 2026 Google review, Paul G. wrote: “My service advisor Chad was extremely friendly and helpful. He kept me in the loop and when I asked him to take me back to see the technician to further explain what needed to be done to the car and why it needed to be done he gladly did it. The technician explained everything to me and it all made sense. Being able to visually see what was wrong was very helpful. At that point I was told parts had to be ordered so my car wasn’t going to be ready that day. Chad immediately ordered car service to take me back home. The car showed up 2 minutes later. When my car was finished late afternoon the following day Chad immediately emailed me. An extra bonus was the repairs ended up being less expensive than the original quote. I couldn’t have been more satisfied.”
