How wheel size changes the cost of BMW i4 tyres
The cheapest BMW i4 fitment to re-tyre is 245/45 R18 100Y XL (G26 BEV) at about £540 for a mid-range fitted set; the dearest is 245/35 R20 95Y XL with 255/35 R20 97Y XL rears (G26 BEV) at about £654 — 1.2 times as much.
That is 2 inches of rim, about £57 more per set for each extra inch.
2 of the 3 fitments are staggered (different front and rear sizes). Staggered tyres cannot be rotated between axles, so the driven axle usually wears out first and pairs are replaced separately.
Choosing premium over mid-range brands moves the most expensive set from £654 to £862.
How often you pay depends on wear as well as price: car tyre cost explains how 73 Auto turns these prices into a yearly figure for a specific car.

Limitations
Factory sizes are from 73 Auto's fitment reference; rows from the editorial compilation are medium confidence and not individually verified against a manufacturer document. A car may have been fitted with other wheels since new: check the size on the tyre itself.
