New BMW Electric Vehicles for Sale in Berkeley: The Fall 2026 Lineup
Five all-electric BMW lines are on sale in the US this fall: the i4, i5, iX, i7, and the brand-new iX3.

The live inventory sits directly below.
Where can I buy a BMW EV in Berkeley right now?
Weatherford BMW of Berkeley, at 735 Ashby Ave. just off I-80, sells BMW's current electric lineup: the i4 Gran Coupe (2026 is its final US model year), the i5 sedan, the iX SUV, and the i7 flagship sedan. The 2027 iX3 has an official US launch of September 25, 2026, and some dealers have begun early deliveries, so early iX3 listings may be in transit or already reserved. The electric iX1 is not sold in the US. Browse the listings below, filter by model, and open any vehicle detail page to see its exact trim, wheel size, and window-sticker equipment.
BMW's Electric Lineup at a Glance
BMW is in the middle of a generational handoff. The first Neue Klasse model, the iX3, has an official US launch of September 25, 2026, with some dealers already making early deliveries; the current i4 is in its last US model year, and the i5 and i7 have moved to their 2027 model years with higher EPA ratings. That means Bay Area inventory this fall is a mix of model years, and the same nameplate can carry different range figures depending on which one is on the lot.
Every New BMW EV Trim, Compared
Range figures below are the EPA estimates published on fueleconomy.gov. BMW EVs are rated separately for each wheel and tire size, so each trim shows a spread from its least to its most efficient configuration. Smaller wheels are usually the efficient end, though not always, so match the wheel and tire size on a specific car's detail page to its own EPA rating on fueleconomy.gov or the window sticker.
| Model (year) | Body | Drive | EPA range | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| i4 eDrive40 (2026) | Four-door Gran Coupe | Rear-wheel | 307-333 mi | Commuters who want the most range of any i4 |
| i4 xDrive40 (2026) | Four-door Gran Coupe | All-wheel | 268-287 mi | Tahoe winter trips and wet-weather traction |
| i4 M60 xDrive (2026) | Four-door Gran Coupe | All-wheel | 232-278 mi | Drivers who put acceleration first |
| i5 eDrive40 (2027) | Midsize sedan | Rear-wheel | 280-328 mi | Long-distance comfort with executive-sedan space |
| i5 xDrive40 (2027) | Midsize sedan | All-wheel | 262-283 mi | 5 Series room plus all-weather grip |
| i5 M60 xDrive (2027) | Midsize sedan | All-wheel | 259-277 mi | Performance buyers who need a real back seat |
| iX xDrive45 (2026) | Midsize SUV | All-wheel | 279-312 mi | The entry point to BMW's large electric SUV |
| iX xDrive60 (2026) | Midsize SUV | All-wheel | 318-364 mi | Families and gear haulers who drive long distances |
| iX M70 xDrive (2026) | Midsize SUV | All-wheel | 283-303 mi | SUV practicality with M-level power |
| i7 xDrive50 (2027) | Full-size sedan | All-wheel | 354-373 mi | Rear-seat comfort and flagship technology |
| i7 xDrive60 (2027) | Full-size sedan | All-wheel | 344-362 mi | Flagship buyers who want more power |

Source: U.S. EPA / DOE, fueleconomy.gov, 2026 and 2027 model-year BMW ratings. 2026-model-year i5 and i7 units still in inventory carry their own 2026 ratings (for example, 278-310 miles for a 2026 i5 eDrive40 and 301-314 miles for a 2026 i7 eDrive50). Actual range varies with speed, temperature, elevation, and load.
EPA figures are a baseline, not a promise. Sustained 70 mph on I-80 or the climb toward Donner Summit brings every EV below its sticker, and our Bay Area BMW EV range benchmarks show how far each model goes on the drives East Bay owners actually make. If you are down to an i4 or an iX, the BMW i4 vs. iX comparison for Bay Area drivers covers the differences beyond range: seating position, cargo, and how each one handles a Tunnel Road commute versus a weekend run to Napa.
How to Pick the Right BMW EV
Start with body style and seating, then let range and drive layout narrow it down. Each profile below points to the part of the inventory worth filtering for.
You want a sport sedan, and you want it this year
The i4 is the pick, and timing matters: 2026 is its last model year in the US, and the new i3 Sedan is positioned as its successor. The rear-drive eDrive40 on 18-inch wheels has the highest range of any i4. Browse current i4 inventory while the remaining units are still available.
You need room for five and a ski rack
The iX xDrive60 has the longest range of any iX, up to 364 miles on 20-inch wheels, and standard all-wheel drive for a Sierra trip. The xDrive45 costs less to get into and covers most East Bay driving without a second thought.
You want the newest BMW technology
The 2027 iX3 is the first Neue Klasse model, with Panoramic iDrive, a native NACS charging port, and DC fast charging at up to 400 kW. It starts at $61,500 MSRP plus $1,350 destination. See the iX3 guide for Berkeley buyers for specs and allocation details.
You spend more time in the back seat, or on the freeway
The i5 gives 5 Series space and highway composure. The 2027 i7 xDrive50 adds full-size rear-seat comfort and, at up to 373 miles, more rated range than any BMW on sale except the iX3.
If none of these fit yet, the electric sedan you are waiting for may be the new i3: US reservations open September 29, 2026 with a $1,000 deposit; pricing hasn't been announced; BMW targets a US launch in the first half of 2027. Our BMW i3 Sedan page tracks what BMW has confirmed so far.
What to Check on a BMW EV Listing
Two vehicles with the same badge can differ in range, charging hardware, and equipment. These are the details on a vehicle detail page, or the window sticker it links to, that matter most.
| Check | What to look for | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model year | 2026 vs. 2027 on i5 and i7 listings | The 2027 i5 and i7 carry higher EPA ratings than the 2026 versions |
| Wheel and tire size | Wheel diameter, and on the iX3 and 2027 i7, summer vs. all-season tires | Wheel and tire choice alone moves EPA range by up to 51 miles on the same trim (iX3) |
| Charging port | Native NACS port or CCS1 port | Per BMW-focused reporting, the i5 moved to a native NACS port from March 2026 production, and the iX3 has one as standard. Earlier CCS1 cars use an approved adapter at Tesla Superchargers after a BMW remote software update |
| Packages and options | Driver-assistance, comfort, and wheel packages on the window sticker | Packages set the final price and sometimes the wheel size, and with it the range |
| Battery warranty | 8 years / 100,000 miles on the high-voltage battery | It covers defects in materials or workmanship and transfers to later owners for the rest of its term |
| Availability | On the lot vs. in transit | The iX3's official US launch is September 25, 2026, and some dealers have begun early deliveries; early listings may be in transit or reserved, so confirm before you plan a visit |
Once you own one, home charging and routine care matter as much as the purchase. The Berkeley BMW EV ownership guide covers Level 2 charging at home, public charging around the East Bay, and what EV maintenance involves.
EV Incentives as of September 2026
The incentive picture has changed a lot in the last year, and older articles still quote credits that no longer exist. Here is where things stand for a new BMW EV bought or leased in Berkeley this fall.
| Incentive | Status |
|---|---|
| Federal $7,500 new clean vehicle credit | Ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, under the 2025 federal budget reconciliation law |
| Lease pass-through (federal commercial clean vehicle credit) | Ended on the same date, so leases signed now no longer carry a built-in $7,500 federal credit |
| California MyFirstEV rebate | Launched August 7, 2026: $3,500 for first-time EV buyers or lessees on new vehicles priced up to $50,000. BMW was not on the launch list of participating automakers, and the iX3's $61,500 starting MSRP is above the cap |
| BMW Financial Services offers | Manufacturer lease and finance programs change monthly. Current offers are posted on our New BMW Specials page |
Incentive status verified September 2026 from IRS guidance and California's MyFirstEV announcement. Programs can change; confirm eligibility with a tax professional and the California Air Resources Board.
Without a federal credit to anchor a lease, the lease-or-buy math depends on BMW's residuals and money factors and on how long you keep a car. Our BMW lease vs. buy guide for Berkeley drivers walks through that decision.

-
Shortlist from the inventory below
Filter by model, then open detail pages to compare model year, wheel size, and packages using the checklist above.
-
Line up financing and your trade
Start a credit pre-approval and get a trade-in value online, so the numbers are ready before you visit.
-
Drive it on your roads
Book a test drive and take the car onto I-80 or up into the Berkeley Hills. One-pedal driving and regeneration settings feel different on a steep grade than on flat surface streets.
-
Take delivery with setup help
Ask us to pair the My BMW app, set charging preferences, and go over your charge port type and adapters before you drive home.
-
Stay with the same team for service
Our Master Certified EV technicians handle service on the electric models we sell, so the people who deliver your car are the people who maintain it.
Tips From an East Bay EV Perspective
Size range to your longest regular trip
Most Berkeley and Oakland commutes use a small share of any BMW EV's range. The trip that should decide your trim is the one you take monthly, such as Tahoe, Wine Country, or Sacramento and back.
Treat wheel size as a range decision
A larger wheel package looks sharp and costs real miles. On an iX xDrive60, the EPA gap between the 20-inch and 23-inch wheels is 46 miles.
Plan your charging before you buy
Apartment dwellers without a home charger should look at nearby public options first. Our Berkeley public EV charging map shows what is close to home and work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which new BMW electric vehicles are for sale in the US right now?
As of September 2026, BMW sells five all-electric lines in the US: the i4 Gran Coupe, the i5 sedan, the iX SUV, the i7 sedan, and the new 2027 iX3. BMW's official US launch for the iX3 is September 25, 2026, and some dealers have begun early deliveries. The 2026 model year is the last for the current i4 in the US. For the new i3 Sedan, US reservations open September 29, 2026 with a $1,000 deposit; pricing hasn't been announced; BMW targets a US launch in the first half of 2027.
Is the BMW iX1 sold in the United States?
No. BMW sells the X1 in the US only with gasoline engines. The electric iX1 is sold in other markets, such as Europe, but it is not offered at US BMW centers, including Weatherford BMW.
Which new BMW EV has the longest range?
The 2027 BMW iX3 50 xDrive, at up to 434 miles EPA-estimated on 20-inch summer tires. Among the rest of the lineup, the 2027 i7 xDrive50 is rated up to 373 miles and the 2026 iX xDrive60 up to 364 miles, each in its most efficient wheel and tire configuration.
Can I still get the $7,500 federal tax credit on a new BMW EV?
No. The federal new clean vehicle credit and the commercial credit that dealers used to lower EV lease payments both ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. Any savings on a new BMW EV in fall 2026 come from BMW Financial Services offers and dealer pricing, not a federal credit.
Does California's MyFirstEV rebate apply to a new BMW?
Not as the program launched. MyFirstEV, which started on August 7, 2026, gives first-time EV buyers and lessees $3,500 off new zero-emission vehicles priced up to $50,000. BMW was not among the automakers announced as participants, and the iX3 starts at $61,500 MSRP, above that cap. Check the California Air Resources Board's program page for current participants.
How long is the battery warranty on a new BMW EV?
BMW of North America covers the high-voltage battery against defects in materials or workmanship for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, and the coverage transfers to later owners for the rest of its term.
