BMW i Electric Vehicles for Sale

BMW Electric Vehicles at Karl Knauz BMW


Let's get one thing out of the way: BMW didn't jump into the EV world to make appliances. These aren't just rolling iPads with wheels. At Karl Knauz BMW in Lake Bluff, IL, every electric model still drives like a BMW. Balanced, responsive, and addictive in a way only Bavarian engineering can deliver. Whether you're rolling through the leafy streets of Lake Forest, stretching the iX's legs on I-94 near Gurnee, or sneaking up on the shores of Kenosha, WI in absolute silence, these cars are designed to make you grin. Forget the idea that going electric means giving up fun. With BMW, it's the exact opposite.

BMW i4

The i4 is the EV that proves you don't need gas to have character. It looks like a classic BMW sport sedan because, well, it is. Just one with a twist. Beneath its sleek sheet metal sits an electric drivetrain that makes torque faster than you can say "traffic light grand prix." Launch it down Route 41 toward Libertyville, and you'll swear you're driving a performance coupe, not a zero-emissions commuter. Inside, you get BMW's curved digital display, intuitive tech, and that driver-focused cockpit that's been the brand's calling card for decades. In short, the i4 feels familiar, but every acceleration surge reminds you this isn't your dad's 3 Series. It's sharper, quieter, and frankly more fun in the real world.

BMW i5

Slide into the i5 and you immediately get why it's the Goldilocks of BMW's electric lineup. Not too small, not too big; just right. It takes the legendary 5 Series formula (luxury sedan meets backroad romper) and electrifies it. The result? A car that makes the drive from Kenosha to Lake Bluff feel like a short joyride instead of a grind. Adaptive air suspension smooths out every bump, while the instant torque makes lane changes a guilty pleasure. Plus, the cabin tech is borderline sci-fi. Think ambient lighting that sets the mood and screens that practically read your mind. If you're the type who wants refinement and thrill in one package, the i5 doesn't just tick the boxes-it tears them up and laughs while doing it.

BMW i7

The i7 is what happens when BMW asks, "How far can we push luxury without setting off alarms at Rolls-Royce?" The answer: very far. This full-size electric sedan is unapologetically indulgent, whether you're behind the wheel or lounging in the back. The rear-seat theater screen is so massive it makes Kenosha movie theaters nervous. Add in seats that massage, recline, and basically demand you cancel your flight plans, and you've got a rolling sanctuary. But don't mistake it for just a limo…this thing is quick. Like, "laugh out loud on your way from Gurnee to Libertyville" quick. It's the sort of car that makes you think: maybe the future of driving is about silence… punctuated by the occasional uncontrollable chuckle when you floor it.

BMW iX

Finally, the iX. BMW calls it an SUV, but let's be honest-it's an SUV with a PhD in fun. The design looks like it drove straight out of a concept-car showroom, and the cabin feels like a futuristic lounge, complete with glass controls and high-end materials. Range anxiety? Forget it. The iX is built for road trips, whether you're heading south from Lake Forest or making a weekend escape north into Wisconsin. And because it's a BMW, the handling is leagues ahead of your average crossover. Turn into a corner near Libertyville and you'll wonder how something this spacious can feel so nimble. That's the magic trick: practicality on the outside, sports car DNA on the inside.

The EV Future Starts Here

At Karl Knauz BMW, we know drivers from Lake Bluff, Libertyville, Lake Forest, Gurnee, and even Kenosha don't want just another EV. They want one that feels alive. BMW's electric lineup nails that balance: luxury without pretension, performance without guilt, and technology that enhances instead of overwhelms. Whether you're leaning toward the sleek i4, the balanced i5, the indulgent i7, or the futuristic iX, each model proves that driving electric doesn't have to be a compromise. It can be the best part of your day. Stop by Karl Knauz BMW, and let's find the EV that makes your commute, your road trips, and your every detour something worth looking forward to.
