I think I am done with BMW. This is ridiculous.
I got my i8 roadster 4 months ago and it has 3,800 miles. Yesterday as I was slowing down for a red light 2 censors went off. 'Drivetrain Malfunction' and 'Regenerative Breaking disabled'. Previously I had the i8 coupe for 3 years and the same shit happened to me 3 times.
To say this is frustrating would be an understatement as I have to take it to the service center tomorrow. On top of that I had to get carplay because the bluetooth would disconnect every 2 minutes. For a car with a sticker price of 167k this just should not be happening in under 4k miles. |

Had a 2016 coupe for almost 30 months- not one issue. Possibly the most reliable car I’ve owned.
My roadster is brand new so can’t say anything yet- but it feels solid. You may have gotten a lemon- which happens and totally sucks. |

Sorry to hear about your issues, it can be disheartening but driving the car can hopefully cure that |

Apparently they needed to order some parts from Germany which take 7-10 days to come in so while my i8 Rodaster has been in the service department for a week now I have been in a 530 loaner.
Very disappointed with BMW |

When I had my i8 serviced- first loaner was an i3. Second was an i8.
