What owners report
Charging interrupted-failed. Unable to fully use EV. Dealer confirms issue & has EV for two weeks, BMW USA has been notified, no remedy offered.
Entire car was bricked after a software update (03/2026.54). Even the gear could not be changed to neutral for placing on a tow truck. Nothing wrong with the batteries. After more than 12 hours, finally the engine powered on but the software failure notification sign would still not work, and car had to be towed to authorized service center for a clean software reinstall.
I was driving last night on the highway in a monster rainstorm in Long Island, NY. In a full monsoon the wipers stopped working stuck in the up position. I was fortunate to not get in a very serious accident as I was going 50mph with ZERO visibility. I was able to make it to the side of the road where i drove with my hazards to exit the highway and pull into a gas station. I could have been killed. I called BMW to have the car towed to the dealer as it was still raining and I was unable to drive. It was over 2 hours for the tow so I waited for the rain to stop and then I drove home.
The backup camera at night is very dark and unsafe. I can barely see anything. Itâs a major safety issue even though sensors can warn you, I almost ran over my neighbor while backing out of the garage. My wife has a 2025 X5 that does not have this issue at all. I see online forums where tons of people are complaining about the same issue, making it very unsafe.
My 2025 BMW i4 has experienced two distinct but related tire safety issues involving abnormal wear and repeated structural failures. Issue 1: Extreme Accelerated Tire Wear The factory-installed tires on my new vehicle were fully worn out in approximately 4 months and ~5,000 miles. All four tires required replacement. This level of wear is far outside normal expectations, including for heavy EVs or performance summer tires, and indicates abnormal loading or alignment behavior. Issue 2: Repeated Structural Failures of Right Rear Tire After replacement tires were installed by the BMW dealer on 12/04, two separate right rear tires developed holes/structural failures within a short period.
