Reliability & federal safety record

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

The 2025 BMW M240i sits at the tail end of the recorded data, with only 1 complaint and 0 recalls—the lowest complaint count alongside the 2019 and 2021 model years, and the only year with zero recalls besides 2017 and 2022. The trend across the generation shows a sharp decline in technical service bulletins (TSBs), from 239 in 2017 to just 2 in 2025, suggesting that the vehicle has undergone significant refinement over time. The single complaint in the 2025 model involves the electrical system, structure, and latches/locks/linkages, and there is 1 fire-related complaint, though the data does not specify a root cause or indicate a pattern. Compared to the 2022 model—which also had 3 complaints and no recalls—the 2025 improves further, while earlier years like 2018 and 2019 had multiple recalls. This places the 2025 at a low point in the complaint and recall arc, implying a well-sorted, late-production example. For a buyer, the 2025 BMW M240i is an excellent year to purchase, given its minimal federal issues and the clear trajectory of decreasing TSBs across the generation.
