The i4's interior is luxuriously decorated, with options for rose gold trim, white leather upholstery, and light wood trim. The i4 and the all-electric iX SUV are the first to feature a large, seamless display that covers nearly two-thirds of the dashboard. The general arrangement is similar to that of other BMW vehicles. The four-door i4 mimics a coupe's look with a sweeping rear roofline but has a conventional trunk in the rear. The i4 lacks the radical new interior design elements present in BMW's other new EV because it is essentially an electric 4 Series. Although the Gran Coupe body design has a sloping roofline, the rear seats aren't actually that crowded. There are a variety of colors available for synthetic and genuine leather upholstery options. The i4 also comes with power adjustable front seats as standard and offers additional packages that add heating and lumbar support option to the seats.

The BMW does not feel cramped in any way even though it follows a coupe-like design but the major fall for the sedan is in terms of its cargo space as offers just 10 cubes of cargo hold in the rear hatch. The BMW might however feel tiny when compared to the Tesla as it offers much more space for both passengers as well as cargo. The Model 3 comes with the best-in-class rear passenger legroom and carries over twice as much cargo as the BMW is capable of carrying. The Polestar offers better front row and trunk space than the BMW but marginally falls behind in terms of the second-row space.

The system includes a rotary controller in the center console, enhanced voice commands, and several well-liked features. These consist of a Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. The standard audio system on the i4 features a 10-speaker setup but there is an option to upgrade it to a 16-speaker setup by Harman Kardon and buyers can also add in a wireless charging pad if necessary.
