r/BMWI4

I hurt it this morning. We both are crying.I will have the tyre replaced as soon as possible, but the rim?

Is there any kind of cosmetic surgery for this in the UK?

New feature unlocked. My car no longer displays the correct song info on the main screen. The display in the instrument cluster gets it right, but not the main screen. As you can see in the pic, the car is showing two different songs playing when in fact it’s only one. Anyone else having this issue?

Same parking spot. Same camera. My old F80 last year and my new i4 this year.

Love it more and more EVeryday! I4 M50

My wife and I got this 2025 i4 eDrive 40 last year in November. It was an Irvine BMW Dealership service loaner with 5k miles on it. Got an extremely good deal on it.

The problem… the driver side and passenger side speaker grills rattle. Been driving me insane. I’ve taken it to Irvine BMW 4 times for the issue. They said they couldn’t reproduce it. I gave them a list of tracks and volume levels that causes the grills to rattle. On the 4th dealership visit, they decided to get a BMW NA Representative to look at it. A week later, BMW NA says they can’t reproduce it.

Frustratingly, I took matters into my own hands.. I started pushing on the grill while affected music played. I noticed that if I push moderately hard on a corner piece by the set position switches, the rattle went away. It actually stayed away. Until it got warmer outside. The issue comes right back on hot days, and it’s a pain in the butt to try and get it to stop. It’s so obnoxious. I think if I had taken the car in on a hot day, they would’ve noticed it immediately. I have very sensitive ears, but I notice it immediately while others don’t.

Attached is a photo of where I’ve had success pushing on the metal grill.

Advice?? I’m about ready to take the car to an audio labs shop and pay them to fix the issue BMW should’ve fixed. What are my options? Can I still reach out to BMW NA for this issue? The car is amazing except this one exceptionally frustrating issue 😭

Just picked up an i4 M60, dravit grey, cognac interior!Absolutely loving it, but less than 2 weeks in… well… another driver ran a stop sign and the photo tells you the rest. Hopefully I get my car back… soon…

Side note, i’m surprised that the collision avoidance didn’t really activate (from what I could tell)! Anyone have any feedback for what settings I should enable/look for when I get my car back?

Just picked up this e40 from San Francisco. Drive home to Sacramento was great. I went from an Ioniq 5 to this and the spirited handling was what I’ve been missing since my 325i and 328i over a decade ago.

Hey everyone,

Never leased a vehicle before and want to know if I’m getting a good deal. I know lease deals are not what they used to be, but dealer is giving the traditional recommended discounts from BMW and giving me a decent value on my trade.

Residual value is 55% of MSRP, which is going to be 43250 at the end of 3 years.

What do you guys think?

I’m occasionally seeing strange Level 2 charging behaviour.

When I check the state of charge sometimes it will be lower than expected and the estimated charge completion time will be extended longer than the original estimate. Usually the charge time is extended about 30 minutes.

Then later the state of charge will jump and charge completion time will revert to roughly the original estimate.

I only see this here and there, but I’m also not always checking the charging status all the time, so it may be a regular occurrence.

Almost every charge the charge will complete 10 minutes or so earlier than the original estimate.

Has anyone noticed similar behaviour?

Hi everyone, I have a big decision to make and wanted to get some feedback from all of you that has had your i4 long term. I have a 2024 i4 eDrive40 M Sport and my 3 year lease is ending here soon. I was thinking about just buying the car outright and keeping it. It’s still in very good condition with no problems or issues.

I was curious how everyone here who has an i4 is doing with theirs in the long term? I also thought about grabbing a new one if the batteries are better etc but idk the specifics for the newer models as of yet. Obviously I know everyone is different and things do happen and you can’t judge based off one persons experience but would just love to get the general consensus.

Thanks all!

Whats a good tesla charger adapter for it?

Is any one using a nema 10-30 adapter for dryer plug? What is a recommended dryer plug setup. I am bot able to upgrade my panel since I am not the owner of my residence.
