Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On three occasions, the car still accelerates for 2-3 seconds after full acceleration at high RPM. Another Bmw M4 gts owner has also confirmed with me via message. I have reason to believe its the water injection system in the car. This car is very limited to 250 units so there aren't many owners around. Half of these cars are in garages and private collections and a few are still for sale so its tough to find more than one person other than myself.”
NHTSA complaint #11056765, filed 2017-12, 200 miles“I am currently in litigation with Bmw USA over my vehicle still accelerating when I let my foot off the gas. Bmw of course said there are no fault codes in the system so therefore they cannot verify. Bmw initiated a theory that the turbochargers are still spooling and need to unwind. That is why the vehicle still accelerates after I let my foot off the gas. The car was in motion on a city street on three occasions in less than 900 miles. I told the attorney this is why there is a throttle body and a blow off valve so this does not happen. …”
