News Summary

• BMW's i4 electric car has been subject to six recalls in its first year.
• The car’s CarPlay integration ranges from poor to actively dangerous.
• Software updates routinely break CarPlay functionality, requiring reboots of its iDrive infotainment system.
• The reverse camera issue is particularly maddening; put the car in reverse while using CarPlay navigation, and when you shift back to drive, you’re dumped onto the home screen instead of returning to your directions.
