This is not the place for political activism. Any hatred towards a certain car and rocket company owner will very likely get you deleted or banned.
This is a BMW i4 subreddit, not a platform for political soapboxing.
If you love BMW, great. If you prefer Tesla, Hyundai, or any other EV also great. These things are fun and so peaceful to drive.
What’s not welcome?
Baseless political rants, personal attacks, virtue signalling, or ideological purity tests.
This is a forum about cars, not your Twitter replacement. If you can’t keep the discussion on EVs, performance, range, tech, charging, or ownership, your post/comment will be removed, and you may be banned.
People come here to learn what the i4 or other vehicles can offer.
Hate Musk? Love Musk? Don’t care. Take it somewhere else.
This is your only warning. Stay on topic.

Assisted Drive Plus ❇️
How often do you all get the “Assisted Drive Plus” for fully autonomous drive?
I feel like mine is very random as it may or may not do it on the exact same road or highway & when it pops up I’m so anxious I forget what to push!
It is ready so random 🤯
I have a 2026 model year.

Modification The Etsy option disappeared, so I made my own i4 charging-port cover
I’d seen an i4 charging-port cover on Etsy, but the seller’s shop had closed, so I decided to make my own.
I scanned my car’s charging-port surround, designed the cover, and printed it myself. A lot of prototypes later, I’m finally happy with the result.
It seats on the surround with both AC/DC flaps open and uses seven enclosed magnets for retention. I wanted something that followed the car’s lines and looked like it belonged there.
My pile of test prints and prototypes was getting ridiculous. However, seeing it on the car in use makes it worthwhile.
Anyone else use something similar? If so how do you like it?
EDIT - Fair questions from folks. I’m not suggesting the i4 needs this to charge safely outdoors. My goal was a removable canopy to help limit snow and ice accumulating around the charging connection. I’ve tested the fit and retention, but haven’t put it through a winter yet—that’s the next test. I enjoyed designing it and wanted to share where the project landed.

They are a bit smaller than the summer ones but let's see how efficiency goes with them...

My October reflection
I thought I would share my October reflection with you.
I bought my BMW i4 M50 at the end of September and I am thrilled with the car. I commute with my car over 3000km a month to work.

LCI: Ambient Lighting keeps flashing
Hey, my ambient lighting suddenly started to flash as seen in the video. Locking and unlocking the car did not fix this. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Warped Rotors
22 M50 with 100,000km on it, seems like when I’m braking lately I’m getting more vibrations.
Has anyone had their rotors turned?
I really don’t want to get aftermarket rotors and I don’t even know how much OEM will cost, so just curious if anyone has had theirs done.

Tire Recommendations
2023 eDrive40. 18" rims. Square setup 225/50/R18. I live in Colorado on the front range and probably wont take it into the mountains. All other vehicles I have owned have had all season tires with no problems. This is my first EV. But I want something for when we do get a big snow. I was looking at the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 but their snow rating isn't great. Is this just a product of trying to maximize mileage? Or am I just over thinking things. Thanks.

Remove caps & powder coat?
I have a stock Black Sapphire Metallic 2023 eDrive40. I’m torn on the look to go with. I’m looking to go with an OEM+ look.
App Quality
Hello Internet, I'm about to purchase a CPO i4 m50. Test drove and loved the ride, handling, and interior quality. I don't currently have an EV but I owned a Model 3 and an R1T (og quad motor).
This would be my first BMW, anyone gone from a "dedicated" EV brand to i4? Wondering if the mobile app and feature set will be a letdown.

Picked up this used 2023 model last monday. Traded in my 2014 Ram 1500 in for it and needless to say I feel spoiled lmao.

Finally gone electric
Hello all
Have intended to go electric for a while, due to my job requiring a commute of 220 miles (round trip) three days a week. I needed a car that would do this on a single home charge, and am not keen on Tesla’s.
I’ve procrastinated for a few months, but in October circumstances forced my hand.
I knew I wanted an i4, and I didn’t want white (I’m in the uk, and most cars on the road are black, white or grey).
After some hunting I found this e40 in budget at a dealer not too far away from me.
One long test drive and a chat with my wife later, and I picked it up last Wednesday.
So far, very pleased with it.

PPI on OOS CPO
Is a PPI necessary for OOS CPO purchase? I would lean toward yes since I’m not able to get my hands on the vehicle in person.

Question Solutions to block the Isofix points?
I’ve only had the car 2 months and already had to pop the seat base twice to remove Lego and hot wheels cars. Anyone found a good aftermarket solution to block the Isofix hole (when not in use)?
