Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 i4.
The 2022 BMW i4 Electric is a plug‑in sedan that harnesses a pure electric powertrain to deliver smooth, zero‑emission cruising; its compact yet spacious body sits on BMW’s modular i‑platform, which underpins the brand’s electric lineup. Among the few complaints lodged by owners—only nine in total—drivers have most frequently cited tire issues, while the vehicle has been subject to eight separate recall notices, a figure that reflects the ongoing refinement of its components. This model year’s modest complaint tally and recall count suggest a relatively stable reliability profile within the i4’s production run, providing a useful benchmark for researchers evaluating long‑term ownership costs.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2022 BMW i4 lead in one area — the tires, 2 of 9 reports (22%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 8 recall campaigns target the tires, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 3 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the tires pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
