Occasional wobbling/tremors when braking

Has anyone experienced any issues when braking at medium/low speeds where the car kind of trembles while coming to a complete stop. I drive in D mode and when this happens it feels like the car doesn’t know whether to engage friction brakes or when it does it isn’t properly engaged.

Any ideas?

A review I read said it was a little flaw in the modulation between regen and regular breaking.

Would you happen to know where it said that off the top of your head?

I have that experience. It's replicable every time. It's very slight. It happens when coming to a standstill. It is so much more noticeable because in braking at speed, that transition is not noticeable at all.

How do you replicate it consistently? Do you know what the cause is?

Sorry, I don't remember but think it was a UK publication like CarWow or WhatCar?. They thought it was caused by eDrive versions of the i4 (rear wheel drive) having a minor modulation issue between the conventional breaks on the front wheels and the regen breaking on being only on the rear wheels. They didn't experience it on xDrive versions of the i4. They didn't think it was more than a minor annoyance.

We experienced this in our M50. One of the first few things I noticed. The regen to mechanical brake transition is terrible. (Maybe terrible is an exagerrated term to use, BUT compared to a regular car or some other EVs this is unacceptable.)
It's the other reason you can be stopped and get it to squak if you gently let off just a bit. Matt Watson pointed it on in his review.
