Flat Tyre on the motorway. #BMWi4 #BMWcustomerservice #bmwaftercare #newtyres
Hey, fellow BMW enthusiasts! 🚗 In this video, join me as I share my recent unexpected adventure on the motorway with my BMW i4. I experienced a flat tire, and let me tell you, it turned out to be a real test for BMW's customer service.
I'll walk you through the entire incident, from the initial frustration of a flat tire on the motorway to the impressive response from BMW. The way they handled the situation was nothing short of exceptional! 🌟
From the moment I called BMW Roadside Assistance, they took charge with efficiency and professionalism. The support staff guided me through the process and arranged for prompt roadside assistance. I was pleasantly surprised when they not only got me home safely but also provided a courtesy car while my BMW i4 was being fixed.
Join me for an inside look at the entire experience, as I share my thoughts on how BMW went above and beyond to make a potentially stressful situation remarkably smooth. If you're a BMW owner or just curious about their customer service, this video is a must-watch.
Hit that like button if you've ever had a similar experience, and don't forget to subscribe for more content on the BMW i4 and the exceptional service that comes with it. See you on the road! 🛣️ #BMWi4 #BMWService #RoadsideAssistance #FlatTireExperience

    Loving your channel mate, it's really helpful in weighing up between getting a hybrid or full electric. Hopefully will be getting an i4 in a few months time. Think I'd save a lot of money per year if I switched due to doing loads of long journeys too for work like yourself. My main worry is not being able to find charging points but I'm coming from Leeds where I'd be home charging and then London where I reckon I could find somewhere to charge...fingers crossed. Without making this too long a post, I'm moving hopefully in a year or so (to Kent) and dont think it's worth installing a charging point at home. IYHO do you think it would drive me mad 3 pin charging this car each day and maybe giving it a boost before long journeys on a quick charge point before trips to London or is it not feasible? I don't go to London more than once every 2-3 weeks and usually just do local trips.

    • @camping_101
      @camping_101 Місяць тому

      The 3-pin charger is slow (2kWh) so only really good for overnight and even then, it depends on how low the battery is. If you are using the car often, you will find this immensely frustrating. I'd say, get the 7kWh charger installed at home as it will save you a lot of time. You will always have a full battery in the morning. As it relates to long journeys, we are a long way away from where we were 2 years ago. There are so many chargers around. It all depends on where you are going. The only place I found that was problematic getting reliable chargers is anywhere on the route to Cornwall. Everywhere else I go, I am spoilt for choice. I regularly head up to Manchester from Kent with only one stop for charging. Remember though, once you have your route planned in the satnav, the car will automatically tell you where to stop and for how long. It will even warm up the battery ready for the charge. Most of the times, when the car tells me where the stop, it's only for about 10mins just to get a few more electrons to complete the journey. Finally, you will find that you can reliably get around 250miles per charge, in the winter. It's more like 300miles in the summer. Once you get to know the car, you will have a good feel for how far it will go, depending on your driving style. This will give you a lot of confidence. Hope this helps.

    Re: Your complaint about tires on ice: Any sporty tire is not going to be good on ice. Sports tires are made up of a harder composite of rubber and when it gets cold they become rigid and won't grab the ice. Winter tires are made of a softer type of rubber, and also have much better siping (the thin lines cut into the rubber). This allows the tire to deform better and grip the surface. Due to soft rubber, winter tires will also wear out faster if you leave them on after the ice/snow clears.

      Indeed. From this video, I was only on 20k miles when I was approaching the legal limit on the rear tyres. I think I still had another 5k miles before needing to change them. In any case though, I've never had to change tyres after 25k miles so this might not be a myth; or maybe it's down to the type of tyres bought.

    This is a significant problem along with all the other problems that come with EV's. I had planned to buy a Taycan until I questioned the tyres and discovered that you can't purchase all-season tyres for 21-inch wheels. I would have to pay an extra £5000 to buy winter wheels, so I decided against the purchase. I wonder how many individuals are driving heavy EVs on the road, like your good self, unaware of the risks they face with summer tyres in winter conditions. Not everyone possesses this knowledge, and this information should be conveyed to consumers before making a purchase. While it's technically legal, just like smoking, it's not recommended for several reasons: Performance: Temperature: Summer tyres harden and lose grip below 7°C, impacting braking, handling, and cornering, especially in cold, wet, or icy conditions. Tread: Summer tyres have shallower treads and fewer sipes, which are essential for gripping snow and slush. Safety: Increased stopping distances: Braking distances can significantly increase on cold, wet, or icy roads, leading to accidents. Reduced control: Loss of grip can make it difficult to maintain control of the vehicle, especially during maneuvers or emergencies.

    • @camping_101

      My wife experienced a 360-degree spin in her E-Class on the motorway due to summer tyres. Thankfully, nobody got hurt. She always moaned about the back end coming out when driving. Initially, we attributed it to the car's rear-wheel-drive nature, as advised by others. However, recent research related to the Taycan revealed that the car has summer tyres. It's alarming to think about how many people have been wrongly accused or blamed due to the use of summer tyres. They rarely get checked or blamed; it's always attributed to the road and weather conditions. This is because they can't blame something that's legal. Anyways, drive safe, and I wish you well.@@camping_101

    Great honest review, many thanks. I'm looking to buy one soon. Personally, I think they look stunning, especially for an EV. My main concern was depreciation. I noticed a one-year-old model selling for £50k with hardly any miles. To buy new locally, they're asking for £80k (full specs), so that's a shocking £30k depreciation in just one year.

      Exactly, I just had that discussion with my wife. If you enjoy it and it makes you happy, that's the main thing. Although I might opt to buy a '22 plate, as it would save me more than the 25% corporation tax and the reduced rate of 18%. I just need to test drive a Porsche Taycan first, and then I'll make my decision. Anyway, wish you well, and please continue with the videos; they're a great help. All the best.

    Nice review. Thank you. Personally, I thought the 40i was a bit lethargic as it is a heavy car so I’m thinking about the 50i. Could this perhaps be on your radar as your next vehicle as some of the options on the 40 are standard on the 50. Looking forward to your feedback. Cheers. 👍😎🇦🇺

    • @camping_101
      @camping_101 4 місяці тому

      The 40i is quite fast to be honest. It’s faster than even the M140i that I once owned. Actually, I know I said I won’t but…..I’m actually thinking about the i5. It offers all the space and specs. The cost is a bit much though so I’ll check the used market next year.

    • @marcusgeorge1825
      @marcusgeorge1825 4 місяці тому

      @@camping_101 Agreed on the space, just not the looks of the i5. Correction on the “slower” i4 I previously tested as is was the 35i, not the 40i. However, to get what comes as standard on the 50i, you’re nearly paying the same upgrading the 40i. At least here in Melbourne Australia. Just the reduced range is the only negative I can see with the 50i. My younger brothers have Tesla 3 performance models so I am wanting something that doesn’t look like a taxi. Have you had a chance to test the Kia EV6 GT? As I’m not sure if it’s just for Australians as the suspension has been tuned for our roads with its adaptive suspension and steering.

    You should have fitted a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2’s - they would have sorted your winter driving issues (RWD) out too. They are great tyres - I have them on two of my cars.

    Hey C101, great vid. Surprised you didn’t put winter tyres on… I’ve just put Michelin Cross Climate 2 on mine, after wearing out my rears after 10k miles. I don’t think I’ll keep them on permanently, but they’ll do for winter. It’s a beasty in the snow. One thing I never thought about was BMW recovery. I just kept my green flag going from the previous car I had. Is BMW recovery standard then? I must admit, I never read the paperwork with my i4.

    • @camping_101
      @camping_101 5 місяців тому

      I was tempted to get the winter tyres but can’t afford to be changing tyres twice a year. BMW recovery is the best. Used them a couple of time over the years. They just take the hassle out of everything. No subscription needed. I just call them and they fix it all.

    I had the Same issue a couple of weeks back on the A299 Thanet Way. Bmw actually called me before I had chance to call them. Technician came out and plugged the tyre so I could continue and then took it to a tyre fitters who carried out a full repair. Agree that run flats are convenient and would allow you to continue your journey or at least get off the motorway.
