Introduction
The electric BMW. On your terms.
Up to 333 miles of EPA-rated range and BMW’s signature handling in a liftback Gran Coupe, on a month-to-month EV subscription instead of a multi-year note.
Range without the range anxiety
The 2026 eDrive40 carries an EPA rating of up to 333 miles on 18-inch wheels. When it’s time to charge, DC fast charging takes the battery from 10 to 80% in about 31 minutes.
A driver’s EV that hauls
One rear motor, 335 horsepower, and a selectable high-regen B mode for one-pedal-style driving. Fold the 40/20/40 rear bench and the liftback opens up to 45.6 cubic feet.

The badge, minus the loan
No 72-month note, no multi-year lease. Your subscription renews month to month, routine maintenance is included, and you return the i4 whenever you’re done with it. Live with the BMW before you ever commit to one.

Questions
Frequently asked questions.

Think of it like a down payment (commonly called a “Cap. cost reduction” in traditional leases), which is one of the factors that helps lower the cost of your monthly payment. Choose the combination of start fee and monthly payment that is right for you; it’s all customizable.
Autonomy is the freedom to choose what’s best for you. That’s literally why we started this company. If you decide you’re no longer interested in your vehicle before you activate your subscription, we’ll refund your entire security deposit, no questions asked. Simply give us a call at 1-800-AUTONOMY (800-288-6666) to cancel your reservation. Once issued, the refund will typically take five to seven business days to process.
With your Autonomy subscription, you get to choose your own insurance coverage for your vehicle. This gives you the freedom to choose the coverage, provider, and plan that work best for you, and it often means you can save money by using your existing policy, taking advantage of discounts, or tailoring coverage to your needs.
Just provide proof of insurance before your vehicle is delivered, and you’re ready to go.
If you’d like to learn more about our insurance requirements or need guidance, our team is happy to help at 1-800-AUTONOMY (800-288-6666).
Your EV subscription includes routine maintenance performed by authorized Autonomy service providers, like tire rotations, cabin air filter replacements, and component checkups.
As an electric vehicle, your car doesn’t require traditional oil changes, emission checks, fuel filters, or spark plug replacements. And thanks to regenerative braking that returns energy to the battery, even brake pad replacements are uncommon.
Because Autonomy owns and registers the vehicles, they are classified as used cars. Though they may vary in mileage, all of our subscription vehicles are covered under warranty.
Making your monthly payments is easy with autopay. You’ll provide a credit card or a checking account during activation, and your payment will be automatically deducted each month on the same date that your subscription started. In some cases, subscribers will be asked to provide a backup payment method as well.
