Reliability snapshot
The BMW i4 is a fully electric Gran Coupe built on the G26 4 Series body. As a recent EV it has limited long-term data; reported items centre on software/infotainment and charging behaviour rather than mechanical faults. High-voltage battery and drive components are covered by long warranties. Tyre and brake wear, cabin/climate, and software updates are the main routine considerations, along with the standard high-voltage system checks.
