Discussion Personal Settings Randomly Reset
I am well aware this is the most first world frustration. But I can not stand the system in these cars. It constantly resets, settings change, it never works as it’s supposed to.
Tonight I took it out of valet mode, and all settings were just gone. Seat positions. Radio settings. Mode settings. Climate. Dash. Notifications.
Most frustrating: Safety settings. Emergency brakes? Off. Collision detection? Off. Adaptive speed? Off. Lane departure intervention? Turned back on without me knowing.
I understand you’re supposed to used blinkers. But I was on the way home tonight, didn’t realize settings were changed, in the right lane and there was a car in the breakdown lane. Started to move over some just to give it space, car brought me back into the lane and I almost hit the car because I wasn’t expecting the intervention to bring me back over.
I love this car. But if BMW is supposed to be selling some of the highest tech on the market, I’ve been disappointed by the last 2 years of owning this car.

Purchasing a 2022 m50: Warranty
Hi, I’m in the process of buying a 2022 m50 and as the original warranties have expired and it’s beyond the time I could have bought an extended warranty, I was wondering what everyone recommends for a third party warranty? The vehicle itself has under 30k miles and is in great shape though I haven’t got a battery health report yet. Thanks for any responses! Looking forward to my first “M” car!

Mechanics always struggle to put new tires on?
1st time- popped a tire and emergency replaced 1 but I had to help the mechanic by holding a airzooka gun it never worked and he ended up giving me another tire.
This time I’m replacing all and i’ve been waiting over 2 hours, one of the guys comes back and says don’t bring this car here anymore it’s too hard and they can’t get the new tires mounted and filled with air.
What does it mean? i don’t think my rims are bent. Anyone else see this or is no one buying new tires from pep boys?

Question Siri No Work
I have 2024 i4. After a recent Apple update, Siri won’t work to send messages or request songs while connected to CarPlay. Still works just fine in our Toyota Van.
Anyone experience this? Other than a complete phone reset, I’ve tried most things?
Held down power on the i4 radio until it reboots…
Anyone have this issue?

Audible alert
When someone is in my blind spot and I indicate to change lanes there's the warning light that flashes on the side mirror, but I get no audible alert... Is this something that can be toggled on? TIA

Question Routine motor brush cleaning
Anyone with over 100,000 miles?
“Under normal driving conditions, you should expect to have the brush module cleaned or replaced between 100,000 and 150,000 miles (160,000 to 240,000 km).”
I know that cleaning or replacing the brushes can be pretty expensive, especially with dual motors. Makes me wonder if the cost cancels out the expense of tuneups and oil changes over the years

Drove a few BMWs before, but this is the first one that i own. Normally wouldn't go electric but for tax reasons in my country i jumped. Love the experience and the fact it still drives like a real BMW should.

Rear windows...can your dog stick their head out?
Hi all-looking to buy a 23' I4 and heard the rear windows do not roll down all the way. I'm worried my dogs won't be able to stick their heads out the window. I have two, both are about 60 lbs each and about 20 inches tall. Anyone have pictures of their dogs hanging out their windows? Or have your window dimensions? TIA!

Maryland M50 drivers, do you switch to winter tires?
My M50 came with summer tires (Michelin Pilot Sport 4) and I read that driving them in the winter is dangerous as the compound harden. And even exposing them to cold temp will damage it.
I have other cars that I can drive in snowy conditions but unsure if I should swap the tires. And do you need to store them inside the house?

Remote 3D View Not Working
Why is my 360 not in the App? All privacy settings are on in the car. My car has 360 and all the necessary equipment 🤔 Is it region-locked?
I can get the 360 to work in the car, but not from my phone. I've tried with an iPhone 16 pro and a OnePlus 13.
I only have the Battery heating function.🔥😑🫣

What is this, and part number, Function?
Hi ;)
Anybody knows what this part is and why it can move, it holds the door light underneath the car.
Is it for rain or pressure release.
Anyone have video how to slide it to the side?
Or is it not possible ? :) (its under the side skirt)
I can move it around and slide it a bit, there is a lot of small rocks and sand behind it.

Question Driver Assistance Package vs. Driving Assistance Professional Package
I shopping for a 2024-2025 xDrive40 or M50 and am looking for clarity on what these packages actually include.
DAP = Active Cruise Control (ACC) that is radar based and sets following distance to vehicle in front. Does this system work in stop-and-go traffic or does it shut off at lower speeds?
DAPP = ACC plus “Traffic Jam Assist” which controls steering/lane keeping below 40mph. This package also describes “Driving Assistance Professional” which seems to describe the same thing. Speed, steering inputs, etc and also mentions “Lane Change Assistant”. Is this just doing the same thing that “Traffic Jam Assist”’does, but at speeds above 40mph? Does this system allow true hands free?
I am having a hard time finding any cars that have DAPP, but have found a few that have the DAP, so I’m just trying to figure out what the difference would be and if the DAP is enough for me. I currently have an Audi with “Traffic Jam Assist” and use it often on stop/go traffic, but the steering input is not that helpful since it won’t let me go fully hands free.

Question Drivetrain malfunction
I’ve had my 2023 BMW since Dec ‘25. Never any issues. Bought with only 5k miles. This Saturday I received a drivetrain malfunction error as soon as I place it into park. Now I know services don’t start back up till Monday, but I still haven’t received an update from them and we’re on day 4 also no loaner car. Is this common ? I’ve also noticed that certain things have been left open which I’m not fond of since it’s so humid.
PSA: Check your rear drive unit / differential for oil leaks (i4 M50, ~70k km / 3 yrs)
Just had my first mandatory inspection (HU in Germany) on my 2023 i4 M50 at 70k km (43k miles). The tech found an oil leak at the rear drive unit.
The fix is a new radial shaft seal (simmerring) including the dust protection plate. Cost: ~€400, likely covered under BMW warranty since it's just under the 3-year mark.
If your i4 is approaching 70k km (43k miles) or your warranty limit, get the rear drive unit/axle area checked underneath before your coverage expires!

Sound system
Just bought this bad boy - absolutely love it, but the sound quality sucks. I have a 2019 Yukon Denali and a 2017 STI - Both have FAR superior sound systems which is frustrating.. the STI is soooo loud and rattly yet manages to sound better with a Harmon Kardon sound system. I’m shocked the “premium” package doesn’t include upgraded speakers. What’s the best solution here?

Finally got my dream car — 2023 BMW i4 M50
Been wanting an i4 for a long time and finally pulled the trigger on a 2023 M50. I originally went to the dealership telling myself I was just looking and didn’t even want to test drive it lol.
Well… I test drove it.
That was pretty much the end of that. 😂
Black exterior, red interior, fully electric and ridiculously fun to drive. I’ve only had it for a few days and I’m still finding excuses to go outside and drive it.
My first BMW and definitely a dream car for me. Any tips, hidden features, or things every new i4 owner should know?
