BMW has refreshed its plug-in electric car lineup in the U.S. with the introduction of the new all-electric models, adjustment to prices of plug-in hybrids, and removal of some of the plug-ins from the offer.

BMW all-electric cars

The all-electric list currently includes three models - two BMW i4 versions, and one BMW iX version. Customer deliveries are expected to start in March.

BMW confirmed to InsideEVs that the BMW i3 and more sporty i3s version are no longer available in the 2022 model year. The i3 was sold since 2014 and over 45,000 were sold in the U.S. In the recent two years, the volume decreased to around 1,500 per year.

BMW plug-in hybrid cars

In the case of plug-in hybrids, there are no new models. Actually, the lineup is smaller now as there is no longer the BMW i3 REx/BMW i3s REx, or the BMW X3 xDrive30e PHEV.

Not only that, the remaining several models become a little bit cheaper compared to the 2021 model year, while the specs are basically carried over.

The MSRP price decrease (vs 2021) differs from $1,600 to $1,700:

2022 BMW 330e - $42,950 (down $1,600 or 3.7%)
2022 BMW 330e xDrive - $44,950 (down $1,600 or 3.6%)
2022 BMW 530e - $55,550 (down $1,650 or 3.0%)
2022 BMW 530e xDrive - $57,850 (down $1,650 or 2.9%)
2022 BMW 745e xDrive - $95,900 (no change)
2022 BMW X5 xDrive45e - $63,700 (down $1,700 or 2.7%)
