I ordered my i4 eDrive 40 last week and was told today that it's supposed to arrive at my dealer in six weeks. And now I'm watching all those videos to find out as much as possible beforehand. Thanks for the great instructional content!

[@BeamerView]

Glad its helping you in the meantime, congrats on the order!!

[@dadmau5_338]

so you can make it fully custom, nice! I am guessing this confirms it! Thank you

[@soldierssoldier.1503]

I ordered my i4 in Sept 2023, it finally arrived in at the end of May 2024, initially it was due in Q1 like I say it arrived at the end of May, out of Q1 and delivered in Q2, when I asked about why the delay, I was informed it was late because of the popularity of the model, if you get/got yours in 6 weeks, then it had already been made and was stuck in a holding facility, I see this post was a year ago, was it delivered in 6 weeks? hope your enjoying your i4.

[@andreaskrupe6778]

@@soldierssoldier.1503 Hey, it's good you got yours after such a long wait. And no, mine did not arrive within six weeks. They took two to three weeks to make it and then cunningly shipped it to Milano in Italy where it sat in a yard for a month before they found it again and finally shipped it to my dealer in Germany. Unfortunately, these things happen sometimes. So I only got it at the end of December 2023. But I am enjoying it a lot! It's really a fantastic car, which has seen parts of Italy I have never been to myself so I'm a bit jealous. 😉

It should stay regardless of profile.

Can you show how to auto-folding mirrors when the it's locked/unlocked? Can't find the setting in the i8 drive

Go to the main settings and look for Doors/lock, unlock. In the settings there you should see the option to "fold in mirrors when locked" kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2OsZqeGf7-gbKM

[@kenngold7856]

will you be updating this for the 2025 soon? Some of the controls on the steering wheel are different in mine (I could read the manual, but would prefer video). Also could use HUD information for the i4.

[@BeamerView]

Sure I could do a updated one!

[@aceace5457]

i am getting one but before i do do they come with sunroof or is that a optional extra

[@BeamerView]

It should be a standard feature!

[@carpii]

do you know if they're planning a 2026 model refresh? Im getting close to buying an i4 but not sure if I should wait for 2026 improvements

[@BeamerView]

i4s already got a face life for this year so they won't be touching it for another more couple years.

[@kennylam6843]

Does it have the spare tire? Thanks

[@BeamerView]

EV vehicles will not be coming with spares since they will be needing the space to include a battery. Most of these new vehicles will only be coming with a mobility kit. There is also road side assistance.

[@cw205mi16]

What size wheels are fitted? What is the leather trim colour? (It's hard to tell as colours always look different on video)

[@BeamerView]

Cognac interior. 18" Gunmetal Grey Aero Wheels

Does the i4 have the record a new path feature? Also do you know if iDrive 8.5 will be available on a 2023 m50 model?

[@BeamerView]

8.5 should be available to EVs eventually, it'll take some time for the updates to roll out. I want to say it does not have the feature yet since it requires a newer chipset, haven't confirmed that but im pretty sure since it also does not have digital key plus.

[@wimpymike]

hi! this might be a weirdly specific question but is it possible to change the orange backlight on the keys during the night I believe?

No such thing as a weird question!! Unfortunately not, you can check the interior lighting menu but I do believe there isn't an option to change that.

do these come with xdrive? I'm looking to build a lease on one of these, and eventually get into the pattern of leasing these vehicles over and over, but I live in a climate that gets really bad winters. I'm not necessarily sold on getting the M version just for xdrive, but wasn't sure if the non M model came with it as an option

[@BeamerView]

Yes they just recently announced it actually. You can check it out on the build website.

Greetings, I just got my 2023 I4M50, love it, but after 2 weeks the HUD stopped showing the navigation fro WAZE, what do I need to do to get it back? Thank you

[@BeamerView]

Last time I checked the 2 were not compatible. I know it'll show directions for Apple maps and Google maps if you have android but don't recall it showing waze. If it did at one point it may be something that gets fixed through an update since it's something very new.

[@Alpejohn]

I am really tempted to get the I4 M50.. But Im not so sure about the frameless doors, i kinda hate it alot. I always hold on top of the door after i open it. Also, im really wondering how this works in the winter months when the windows freeze stuck and are not able to go down to open the door.. That happends alot where i live in the winter time.. I guess you can heat up the cabin but if you forget to do it.. The whole frameless doors is stupid IMHO when its not a cab.

[@BeamerView]

I've dealt with these cars in the winter, I would say it's nothing to worry about. It feels weird at first but gripping on the outside door handle to close is still do'able, there is also a little piece on the edge of the bottom window frame that I use to close.

[@Virtuenow]

Where do you recharge when road-tripping?

[@BeamerView]

Use this app called PLUG SHARE, it'll show you every charging station in the area. If you're in the US, try using Electrify America since some of their locations have the fast charger and it should be free for the first two years of the vehicle.

[@gregchan5650]

Where do you recommend to purchase i4 e35 seat covers?

[@BeamerView]

I would check to see if they have anything on shopbmw.com. If nothing there I would check on amazon and see what's the best one they have.

[@renatamartin8380]

Hi. Can you tell me the make of the tires this vehicle is supposed to come with? I got the i4 x drive 40. I saw on BMW website that the tires are Michelin or pirelli. The ones I have on my brand new vehicle are made by hankook. Thank you

[@BeamerView]

I've also seen hankook, tires are virtually the same, it's weird how they do it though, you never really know which brand you're going to get they only put on whatever is available at the time of making the vehicle. Hankook is good from what i've seen.

[@joonyjoonjoon13]

Just got my car today. How do I take the triangle rims off?

[@BeamerView]

Might not be able to, may have to use the mobility key that comes in the car or call SOS if you had to remove them.

[@douglasscott4305]

Does this car have the ability to lock the car and step away while it's turned on and the A/C or heater runs (e.g., going into a store real quick and leaving the car running with AC on when it's 100 degrees F here in Texas). I have that on my 2017 infiniti q50, but my wife's 2021 Lexus GX460 will not allow me to do the same. researching replacing my infiniti with a bmw like the one you reviewed. appreciate the review!

[@BeamerView]

I believe all BMWs give you the option to do Pre-Conditioning when you're about to exit the vehicle. It's quite the handy feature actually. I know that the EVs can do pre-conditioning so you should also see that option right before you get out your car.

[@douglasscott4305]

@@BeamerView Thank you for your message. To clarify, do you happen to know if you can exit the vehicle while keeping the car running and lock the doors? Sounds like you can, but just confirming.

[@JanReese-t5t]

Is there a way to open the door when the battery is dead?

[@BeamerView]

Yes when you pull out the drivers door handle, there is a hidden key slot under it. The manual key that is located within your key fob is used here.

[@K1NGJJ007]

great video, i am interested in buying a new i4. However i had questions in regards to charging. Can i use a tesla charger at home to charge this i4? if so does it need a separate adapter and is the charging speed the same? or do you recommend just getting a BMW charger installed? thanks for the feedback.

[@BogeyTheBear]

You're at the cusp of getting an i4 with the Tesla-style NACS charging port. They should be coming out in 2025.

Bogey is correct, they will be integrating tesla charges soon. No word yet but I would give it a few more months.

[@BogeyTheBear]

It warns you when you have 40 miles left. It doesn't do it by state of charge.

[@BeamerView]

Should be a 2 step warning. One at 30 and maybe another when the charge gets very very low.

[@stevenweiss7129]

How do you get 8 shortcuts added to the 4 that I can see?

[@Repowww112]

is this the same for 430i too? i mean ID8 and all that?

[@BeamerView]

I doubt it will be coming to the 430i. Most of the vehicles that will be able to upgrade to or have iDrive 8.5 will require a newer service pack. I good way to tell is if your vehicle has Digital Key or Digital Key Plus. Vehicle with PLUS will be able to have and support iDrive 8.5.

Does it have speed camera location warnings?great vid thanx 4 postin

It does but I would not rely on it much. Usually isn't as up to date as some of the more popular GPS apps on your phone. Thanks for the comment! Don't forget to Subscribe if you haven't already so I can help you answer questions in the future!

[@JustMe99999]

How cramped is it? I'm between this fully loaded or an i5 close to fully loaded. (Coming from an Audi S5).

[@BeamerView]

I had a 13 S5 for 6 years as well and would prefer the i4 over the i5. It's more nimble, easier to drive and space wise its just right. i5 actually felt a bit too large for me and didn't have the same tight drive the i4 has. Rear seats are ok, head room for anyone above average height might get a bit uncomfortable but driver wise its perfect. I'm 5'10, 170 Pounds.

[@Sophia-bq2sp]

How long will it take to charge from 0 to 100 on a hyper charge?

[@BeamerView]

10% to 80% is about 30-40 mins. Going from 80% to 100% is an additional 30 mins. It reduces the charge to protect the battery from overcharging. That's why it's slower.

[@BogeyTheBear]

It's a physical characteristic of the battery. It's akin to filling a gas tank where the fill pipe opens into the bottom of the tank: The more you put in, the more the pump has to work against the weight of what's already in there.

[@Sophia-bq2sp]

@@BeamerView Fantastic, thanks very much for confirming that.

[@shay_625]

Hey, I just got a 2024 i4. Any key differences?

[@BeamerView]

Hey Shay, Congrats on the purchase. No major differences if any at all. Original i4s did come with iDrive 8 but were upgraded to 8.5 so yours should have 8.5 as well. Other than that all the same.

[@BogeyTheBear]

The i4s built after July 2023 have the head unit capable of operating 8.5 and thus they could be upgraded when it became available. Any i4 built before then stays with updated versions of 8.0

I4 keyfobs are larger than normal 4 series keyfobs. Neither of the keyfob covers listed explicitly say they are compatible. Can you verify they will fit?

I could double check this but as far as i've seen they are exactly the same. I would not buy if you do feel they are bigger for sure since these style covers are for the last generation.

I purchased one of them for my husband and they are definitely too small. The i4 key is longer than the other keys

[@johnmorelli3775]

Re the two defrosters, "Rear" stands for rear window I assume & "Max" stands for front window??? This will stop the windows from fogging up in cooler weather (as windows are prone to do)? Not many cars have a front window defogger which is why I ask. Thank you for responding. Great video BTW!!

[@randomwaffler]

since when was an electronic parking brake an “emergency brake”? if you only use park mode, you put the vehicle’s weight on the transmission and will wear it out quicker. it is best practice to engage the parking brake to put the load on the parking brake and then engage park mode on the gear selector.

[@BeamerView]

The vehicles electric parking brake can also be used as an emergency brake if they for example your brakes on the floor not working you can hold up the emergency park, lever or button and then the vehicle will slowly come to a stop the SOS system

It's in the manual. Pull and hold the parking brake switch and the car will pull over and stop. Helpful if the driver conks out and the passenger needs to get the car stopped.

I am v🎉ery happy with my I4. Quite powerful and a pleasure to drive a full electric vehicle.

[@BeamerView]

Yes EVs are plenty power even the base models!

[@soldierssoldier.1503]

Just to mention, a lot of items you talk about are not included in the car(in the UK), you have to pay extra to get some of them, I.E High Beam automatic, if you want it in the UK it costs an additional £200 or $252 there are many others you will pay extra for, many are charged to you when you order the car, like the auto opening of the doors, they costs more. The biggest let down on my i4 is the milage, I am only getting just over 1 mile per 1% ( example, I drove 19 miles, battery power dropped 18% in that one drive) so a full 80% charge will give me around 100 miles, way less than claimed, I only drive in ECO PRO MODE and use the regeneration or B mode which is supposed to put more battery power back into the battery, the lowest possible setting, I do not use any heating even though it is minus -2c and snow at the moment, at 80% charge the car shows the range is approx. 159 miles, down from 198 miles during the summer, even so it will not get the claimed 159 mile. During the day if the car thinks it is dim outside it turns the headlights on, you cannot turn them off whilst the car is being driven, hence more battery power used. There are many pluses to owning a EV but there are many downs too. PS I cannot use public charging stations, it will take the money from my card but fails to charge at anytime I have tried them, I am contacting my BMW dealer as something must be wrong, I am sounding very negative but this is what I have experienced with my 2024 i4 BMW.

[@BeamerView]

[@nims402]

i am a happy eDrive 35 owner! looks just like this exterior, i just have black interior + ash gray trim. only gripe i have is the range for the 35, and how unreliable Electrify America is, which makes public charging pretty much a nuisance. a LOT of the EA stations near me are either all down entirely, or 1-2 out of the 4 chargers working properly, or extremely low power. I also commented on a previous video saying the i4 had no cubby, as the one you were using for the respective video did! so i knew i wasn't trippin, wish they didn't remove it, as the middle console and side door spaces are tight, bummer!

This model lacks compartment package, thats why the cubby is missing below the light switches. I will get mine in a month and I have that package selected. Also the mirror correction switch will tilt the right mirror downwards when in reverse so that you can see the curb when paralell parking….

[@Pouya82]

The Apple Maps in CarPlay does also pop up behind the steering wheel just like the BMW maps one when you have Navigation ON. So you get the same features which was lacking the prior iDrive version.

[@BeamerView]

Wasn't aware of the compartment package, that's something that's not offered here in the US. Correct about the mirror switch, super useful when parallel parking.

[@BeamerView]

Correct, they did recently have it so that for carplay apple maps now appears on the instrument cluster, it's also the same for Android Auto, it'll work for google maps as well for that system.

What is your range? I am also thinking to order one

[@Dactylonian]

Thanks for the very thorough walkthrough. We’ve had our eDrive40 since mid June 2023 and we love it. Your videos have helped out for sure. That “Lim” button, in my experience, sets cruise control speed to the posted speed limit. When the wireless charger detects that your phone is too warm to charge (it gets hot!) the little light turns orange.

[@BeamerView]

Happy to help. The LIM button is to limit your speed. Say for example, you can use it to set it to 80 mph and if the feature is on, you're vehicle will prevent you from going passed that to prevent you from speeding. Yes the wireless charger has that complaint quite a bit, I would use it without the case to see if that helps, or use another more thin case.

[@samholy1]

This car will leave you feeling like you’ve been scammed if you get it without the tech pack. Down side is with the Harmon lardon system you loose 2/3 of that additional space 3:12

I’m assuming you can program each key fob to the desired setting 1 or 2 profile so that the car will auto adjust the seat, mirror, and dashboard display based on your profile?

You can program each key to a BMW ID and it'll auto adjust depending on whichever key/person enters the vehicle. Each key can store 2 seating assignments, so in total you have 4.

Picked up my i4m50 today and I drove 300 km this afternoon. Lovely car! But one thing drives me crazy. It makes a «boop» sound from now and then. Its not the speed limit warning, that was turned off. I could not detect what the car tried to tell me. No, signs, text or anything, just this low, soft boop sound. It could disappear for 10, 15 minutes but suddenly it made the sound maybe 10 times in 2 minutes. Especially 😱in lower speeds. Someone plz help me!

[@BeamerView]

Late to your comment but hopefully you've figure this out. Speed warning would be the first thing I'd think of, the other one would be lane departure.

[@14Tommere]

@ thanks, yes it was the speed sign warner (not the new speed limit warner). It bipt when a new sign got closer and I used some time to figure out how to turn it off.

Great Channel!

Glad you enjoy it!

22:23 You push forward to Reverse, and pull back to Drive... ...they are going to to have to change that one day (either going back to a shift lever or changing the directions on that switch). The way I work around this potential confusion is to pretend the car is a spaceship and that selector switch engages rocket thrusters: You push forward to light off the retrothrusters in the nose (propelling you back) and pull the switch back to select the thrusters in the back to drive you forward.

[@BeamerView]

Haha, love the analogy. Yes it takes a little time to get use to it, but it'll be fine before you know it.

[@Dundun4793]

So… what car does it the other way?

@@Dundun4793 What other car does it with a _light switch_ rather than a shifter knob?

No DAPP, no PAP, no comfort access, no laser lights... it's a basic version, no extras.

Correct!

[@ericnewton5720]

Not having AM radio is pretty fn annoying to me. I like being informed and significant amounts of talk radio run on the AM band because depending on weather conditions, it can reach even farther than FM. I bet it was because the EV drive generates so much noise that the AM bands might be noisy.

[@BeamerView]

Yup just read about that - Car manufacturers say motors in electric vehicles generate electromagnetic interference that causes static in AM station signals. Instead of investing in workarounds that would solve the interference problem, they have chosen to eliminate the band, noting the other audio options that are available to consumers. Not sure if maybe you could stream AM radio through a app like iHeartRadio

No AM radio? Really? What about sports talk radio that is on AM and not FM? Dang!!!!

[@BeamerView]

Best bet would be to download an app that can play the AM radio like iheartradio maybe.

"trash control", really?

Yes, there is a Trash Chute beneath the car.

[@MonsterZero-bb9qg]

Attractive vehicle, but I am very disappointed in all the cheap plastic. Plastic window controls, plastic steering wheel control buttons. There looks to be an abundance of cheap plastic everywhere. It has the BMW logo, but is it?

[@BeamerView]

3 and 4 series are more of the lower end sedans they have. Agreed it's tough choice for something that has the BMW logo on it. I don't imagine the next design will be any better since the new 2025 X3 has even more plastics to it.
