2025 BMW M440i

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 M440i.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2025 BMW M440i comes equipped with an S8 automatic transmission and achieves EPA fuel economy estimates of 27 city/33 highway/29 combined mpg. Over the model history spanning 2021 to 2025, owner-reported complaints have declined steadily from 3 instances in 2021 to just 1 in the current model year, with the 2025 recording zero recalls. This trend suggests the 2025 M440i represents the most reliable iteration in its recent history, though the single top complaint area involving steering indicates one persistent issue for prospective owners to note.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 M440i shows the lowest federal activity of the three model years recorded, with just one complaint (in Steering), zero recalls, zero investigations, and zero TSBs — a sharp drop from 2021's 3 complaints, 5 recalls, and 124 TSBs and 2022's 3 recalls and 59 TSBs. This downward arc suggests either improving production maturity or, more likely, the 2025 model's limited time on the road given its recent release. The single steering complaint did not involve a crash or fire, and no safety investigations have been opened. With no recall campaigns issued to date, the 2025 carries no known federal corrective actions. However, the sparse data reflects minimal real-world exposure rather than proven long-term reliability. Takeaway: the 2025 M440i presents a clean federal record so far, but buyers should treat the low numbers as preliminary and monitor future data as fleet miles accumulate.
