Hey everyone! I just took delivery of my new i4 eDrive40 and I'm absolutely loving the driving experience so far. The tech is impressive, but after a week of driving, I’m starting to realize there are a few gaps I’d like to fill with some quality accessories to really optimize the experience.
First off, that massive curved display is a total fingerprint magnet! Has anyone found a high-quality tempered glass or matte screen protector that fits the i4's specific dimensions perfectly without compromising the touch sensitivity? I'm also a bit concerned about the wireless charging pad in the center console; my iPhone seems to get quite hot during longer trips. I’m curious if anyone has found a clever cooling solution or a specific MagSafe mount that integrates well with the i4’s dashboard layout without looking cluttered.
Additionally, I’ve been looking into getting a reliable OBD2 dongle to pull real-time battery data for 'A Better Routeplanner' (ABRP), but I want to make sure I get one that’s fully compatible with the iDrive system. I really want to keep the cabin looking clean and premium, so I’m trying to avoid anything that looks like cheap plastic. For those of you who have had your i4 for a while, what are the absolute 'must-have' tech accessories you’ve added that you now can’t live without?
Hmm, I've had a different experience. I'd skip glass; Tuff 9H Matte Screen Protector for BMW i4 handles glare better tho. Also, Veepeak OBDCheck BLE Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner is way cheaper for ABRP, ngl!!
Ok so, Spigen Glas.tR Slim Tempered Glass Screen Protector for BMW i4 Curved Display is better than grainy matte ones tho. It's SO sharp! Plus OBDLink CX Bluetooth 5.1 BLE OBD2 Adapter works so well!!
Big if true
