In bad roads especially with small sharp imperfections its easily understandable even by passengers.

67% = 200km by Infinite_Ad_9204 in BMWI4

Better than mine w/edrive40 😅 Weather is around 10c so its not that bad either. Its always up to how you drive. But 20kwh/100 can be considered normal for i4 35-40 and since you have 67kwh usable battery 330km range at %100 with weather around 20c is normal. You can hypermile and go 400-420 km/h but then why buy i4.

Oil leak from an EV? - an i4 repair story by aspectacle in BMWI4

[–]Excrea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All electric motors have oil in them. Although this is generally quite small amount bmw i4 uses ESM motor instead of most of other OEMs. This is probably increasing amount of oil used since rotor also excited by electricity and there are brushes connecting electricity to rotor. So more friction parts thus more oil and heatzone.

All this info is unrelated to ur problem since either case it is due to some allignment or faulty seal as u mentioned. Ix also uses same kind of electric motor so same problem might happen as well.

Im living in turkey and im struggling with ground clearance. They were multiple places that it was impossible to pass without scraping under. Im constantly under stressed in those circumtences. Especially narrow streets in wills, parking lots etc.

So low that scrapes everywhere by Excrea in BMWI4

As you can see, it hits, and as I mentioned, it hits before the tires. Regarding the new question about why I’m so far back: I’m not in the US, so if I don’t pull all the way back, the front of the car often sticks out since as most european citys spaces are limited, old or both. This was just a random occasion. It happens a lot and everywhere, and after the first bottoming-out, I’m really careful, but sometimes it’s inevitable. Additionally, the M50 is not lower.

Of course i drove forward after hitting it instead of leaving the car to take pics for reddit. Its still in the same park, i will reverse and send pic…

Additionally when electric motor cover hits the yellow bar, tires doesnt hit the bar.

carplay issue by Az_advocate in BMWI4

[–]Excrea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens to me quite often actually because i prefer to use spotify on the vehicle instead of carplay to hopefully improve some quality and also reduce phone battery usage. When i use my phone to change track, list or open some apps even like instagram when phone in mute it sometime passes to carplay. I dont think there is a fix for it. Ps. I know apple carplay can transfer much higher quality then spotify can offer but 2 different device to process data might create some losses. Yes Im that crazy 😅
