BMW i4 2021 -

Specifications

Lazz, 04 Jun 2024I got my i4 35 a 2024 model last week 24th May, somewhat disappointed. There are too many apps... more******UPDATE******* as of 31/03/2025
It's now March 2025, I've now had the above i4 for 8 month and oh boy am I disappointed in the whole lot. Milage is pathetic, 11 miles in Eco Pro mode, using B drive mode, uses almost 10% at normal road speed limits I.E. 30mph, 40mph and 60mph no motorway driving, so that equals just over 110 miles on an 80% charge . Then we come to some apps I paid for, like the Traffic light and Radar app, I bought it in August 2024, I had no idea how it would work but trusted in BMW and it should work, I thought perhaps it would warn me on the map, no it never did, now January 2025 in trying to find out on the My BMW app on my phone I notice a small video showing how this app should work, with flashing red lights in the dash and audible warnings on the head up display, no it has never worked a single time, so I contacted ConnectDrive they had me try to update the system which it had done a few days earlier to 8.5 system, still it would not work, hold down the volume button for 30 secs is supposed to reset the system, no, that failed also, I then have to email them, I keep getting reply's asking for screenshots showing it not working, that itself is illegal to use any mobile phone or camera whilst driving if held, so I explained that, we've now managed to get someone sat behind me who took a photo showing nothing on approach to Traffic lights, but, ConnectedDrive has decided to ignore me and blocked my emails, what now? I did say that as this app has failed to work despite them trying, I asked for my money back as it's never ever worked a single time, but, all emails now get returned unopened so they've blocked me, the last message from them was they could not repay the money I paid for a working app, it failed, yet they inform me money can only be returned by them if they are notified during the first 14 days of it not working, even though at that time until Jan 2025 I had no idea how it was supposed to work, now we're at an impasse, I would return this car immediately were it not for the money I would lose, there are other apps that also have never worked . Be aware if you have problems with BMW they can just dig their heels in and ignore you, I do intend taking this matter further and will update at a later time, I would not recommend anyone taking the BMW i4 until you've seen everything working, if they don't show you, do not just buy and drive away.

I got my i4 35 a 2024 model last week 24th May, somewhat disappointed. There are too many apps, it'll take some time to figure them all out, I don't like the AC coming on when I start the motor, at the moment I'm having to manually turn it off, telling the car to turn it off results in it all front airways being turned off. now the charging, the OHME charger was installed 6 months before I even got the car, so the 6-month warranty lost. Charging is not so simple, at the garage the salesman set the charger to begin when my electric is cheapest @ 4.2p per KW hour, the charger is a 7.5KW charger and charging from 68%-85% costs £20, not sure if that can is correct? if so it's expensive, I don't travel far these days and that cost is more than my previous BMW X1 iDrive 2ltr twin turbo. On connecting the charger it appears the charger thinks its going to charge to 100% from zero, it is supposed to begin charging at 00:00-0500 but the charger says (in a text message) it doesn't have enough time to achieve that amount of charge. even though the car stops the charger at 85% it is still trying to charge, the charger is set to start at 00:00 but begins immediately it is connected, so in that regard, I'm somewhat disappointed. The car has only done 115 miles so still very new. The handbook is immense and it takes some reading, not enough explaining was done by the salesman (he had a phone call due) and left me with the car, it is without a doubt very quick, and acceleration seems immediate. The head-up display is good, but there is no 360-degree all-round camera, only a reverse camera, and no sunroof, all these come as extras and cost thousands. The car does drive well, I like what seems like auto braking, even on turning a corner the car begins braking itself, same with cars in front it wars you, you get a warning beeping if you go over the speed limit and it continues until you slow down. It's all still very new and I'll update as time passes and I get more used to the car, it does look stunning, I chose the colour of my army Regiment of green (it has gold flecks also, which show especially when the sun is out) all for now.

Too pessimist. 125 km/h control speed, 10 degrees I did 225 km with 50% battery. (From 100 to 50%). That means one full battery 450 km.
