When choosing your next electric sedan, you’ll likely end up comparing two popular options: the 2025 Tesla Model 3 and the 2025 BMW i4. While both offer innovative performance and cutting-edge technology, only one model provides the power and luxury you crave for your Los Angeles drives. Find out which EV comes out on top in this comprehensive BMW i4 vs. Tesla Model 3 comparison from Pacific BMW. 

2025 Tesla Model 3 vs. BMW i4: Performance

Performance is the cornerstone of the Tesla and BMW brands, with both manufacturers boasting a wide range of electrified powertrains that offer exceptional handling on the Hollywood streets. That’s why when comparing the Tesla Model 3 vs. BMW i4, drivers will find similar electric capabilities across each lineup. 

That said, when it comes to raw power, the 2025 BMW i4 lineup pulls ahead. When you choose the 2025 BMW i4 M50, you can expect up to 536 hp on your Burbank trips. The Tesla Model 3, meanwhile, can only reach up to 510 hp on its top-of-the-line Performance trim. 

2025 Tesla Model 3 vs. BMW i4: Customization & Amenities

In addition to offering more power and capability, the 2025 BMW i4 provides luxury and personalization options you won’t find on the Tesla Model 3. Some of the customization options and amenities you can only find on the BMW i4 include:

  • Exterior Paints: The 2025 BMW i4 exterior is designed to showcase your sense of style with 13 available paint finishes. The Tesla Model 3, meanwhile, only offers six paint options in a limited palette. 
  • Upholstery Options: When drivers climb inside the Tesla Model 3, they’ll find only two upholstery options: black or white. In comparison, the BMW i4 interior boasts a selection of nine upholstery choices, including colors such as Canberra Beige, Tacora Red, Black, Mocha, and Oyster. 
  • Technology: Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone compatibility is essential for simplified connectivity on your daily drives. The BMW i4 offers these smartphone connectivity functions as standard equipment, while the Tesla Model 3 doesn’t offer the feature at all.
