I'm looking to buy an i4, probably a 2022-2023 model, so out or almost out of the 4 year warranty by now, and this issue scares me a bit. I've seen people say BMW fixes it for free, others said it was a 3k€ job, others have been quoted 21k to replace the motor.

Is there any info on how widespread this is ? I read the 2022-23 models are more affected than the others, but I'm wondering if this issue is an "if" or a "when", as I don't want to buy a car and be quoted half its price 3 months later to fix this issue.

Hi, my question is all in the title. What I've noted so far for the changes post face lift are :

-No more shift lever

-Slightly different exterior

-Updated infotainment system (does it make a difference in everyday driving ?)

Is there anything else that I should know about ? There are a lot of intersting deals on 2022-2023 i4 in my country, and I'd like to know if there is an actual incentive to go for a newer, pricier version or not.

Also, I'm debating between getting an edrive40 or M50. Both are extremely close price wise (like 2-3k difference for the same mileage). How different are they in terms of comfort and cabin noise at highway speeds ? Are there any reliability issues I should know about that are version specific ? I plan on keeping this car long term and I drive 25k km/year, the car will probably have 150k+ when I sell it, so I'd like to know ahead of time if I should expect pricy repairs.

Thanks :)
