2025 BMW i4

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 i4.

Engine Electric

The 2025 BMW i4 continues into the current model year as an electric vehicle, utilizing an electric powertrain that defines its core mechanical identity. Owner feedback thus far is notably limited with just six total complaints, though the data reveals a distinct clustering around the service brakes and forward collision avoidance systems. While the model does carry two recalls, this low volume of reported issues anchors the 2025 i4 as a relatively stable entry in the model's reliability history, suggesting that any functional quirks remain isolated rather than symptomatic of broader systemic failures.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 2025 BMW i4 top in one area — the service brakes,forward collision avoidance, 1 of 6 reports (17%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 2 recall campaigns target the service brakes,forward collision avoidance, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 3 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the service brakes,forward collision avoidance pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
