BMW 420i: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the 420i rank in its segment?

Among the 86 saloons 2019–2023, the 420i ranks 32th of 86 in Combined consumption (5.8 L/100, behind the BMW 420d), 18th of 73 in Tank range (1017 km, behind the BMW 420d), 66th of 86 in 0–100 km/h (7.5 s, behind the BMW M3 Competition xDrive).

What is the range of the 420i?

1017 km on a full tank (5.8 L/100 on the combined cycle) - 18th of 73 in Tank range.

How much does the 420i cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a BMW 420d instead?

The BMW 420d leads in Combined consumption (4.2 L/100 vs 5.8 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 420i vs BMW 420d duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
