I’m considering trading into one. Having owned an Tesla which is very low maintenance, I’m wondering if more is required besides normal wear parts like tires, brakes, wiper blades etc.

Thanks all. And happy Thanksgiving!

    I think it is comparable.

    What a beauty!

    BMW has more quality control than Tesla, so i assume even less.

    For the record, my i440 with 30.000km didn’t require service once yet.

    Tires can be a issue with such a powerful (and heavy machine) but is really dependent on your driving style.

    I got one. Per the dealer, I go in once a year for a complimentary brake fluid and system check other than the usual tire rotation, cabin air filter replacement, and wiper fluid top off.

      Once a year brake fluid seems excessive. My 330e (hybrid yes, not full EV) has it planned for every 3 years

        It’s a check. Either way, I don’t honestly care as my dealer is 15 mins away and I go I there all the time anyway for free car washes!

    There is largely no scheduled maintenance outside of brake fluid. Of course, your microfilter, wipers, and tire-related maintenance are to be expected, but this can be done either DIY or through indy shops for cheap. One thing I have also noticed is that the build quality of BMW’s EV cars is noticeably strong.

    I only got a i4 M50 (but it has the same drivetrain obiously.

    Service menu says: Brake fluid + micro filter after 3 years.

    ​

    That’s it

    I’m not sure about BMW but I have an Ioniq 5 and Hyundai maintain it needs to have its low conductivity battery coolant changed at 60,000km. The charge for it is estimated to be between €600-1000 depending on who you ask.

    Car is too new. Nobody truly knows yet - BMW maintenance intervals are often loosely based on nonsense.

    Ye gotta pray you got a car built on a Tuesday, Weds, or Thurs and not a Monday morning or Friday afternoon. 🙃
