Luxury fashion retailer Kith kitted out a BMW i4 for a seriously swanky ride.

Once again, Kith has partnered up with BMW to deck out one, (well, actually two) cars. In 2020, Kith and BMW partnered up for the M4 Competiton coupe, but this time, the luxury fashion brand has decked out the fully-electric i4. Oh, and they’ve also put their touch on a one-off electric BMW 1602.

For the BMW i4, Kith painted the exterior in a custom Kith Vitality Green, matched with the Caramel Merino leather interior from the BMW Individual program. The BMW roundel has an extra ring with the same signature Kith Vitality Green, and a model inscription. Inside, the i4’s interior, “Elektro Auto” has been inscribed on the cupholder lid, and Kith Exclusive Edition is engraved on the dashboard. The Kith script is also embroidered on the i4’s headrests, too.

Also, Kith’s founder Ronnie Fieg, re-imagined BMW’s first electrification attempt; the 1972 BMW 1602 Electro. Similar to the i4, this reimagined retro-EV restomod has a similar interior and exterior scheme to the Kith i4. No word on what kind of batteries or motor powers the Kith 1602, though.

The BMW i4 Kith Edition was unveiled during Paris fashion week, alongside a 51-piece collection from the brand that features similar colors. Only seven of the Kith BMW i4s will be produced, and only six of them will be made public for sale. Underneath, all of the Kith i4s are the BMW i4 M50, meaning the car should be good for 536 horsepower, and a range of 270 miles, EPA.
