Used BMW i4 2021-present reliability
Category: Electric car
A thoroughly polished electric car, the BMW i4 is fast, comfortable and you'll see great distances between charges.
What should I look for in a used BMW I4 hatchback?
Nothing out of the ordinary just yet – do the usual visual checks of things like the wheels and tyres, as well as take it for a test drive if you can.
The i4 only achieved a four-star safety rating from Euro NCAP – it performed relatively well in the adult child occupant protection tests but underperformed in the safety assist section (for example, the automatic emergency braking system (AEB) failed to detect a pedestrian crossing a road into which the car was turning). The rival Mercedes EQE performed far better in this regard.
What are the most common problems with a used BMW I4 hatchback?
The i4 currently has a couple of recalls attached to it. One, involving 133 vehicles, describes a part of the battery not being installed correctly. The other also relates to the battery, stating a part of it might have been damaged during assembly – it has 211 vehicles associated with it.
These are fairly minor recalls, but if you believe your i4 to be involved, contact your local BMW dealer to have the issue resolved.
