Just in case anyone has one and had similar issue as me or just about to buy one or a M4.
Welcome any feedback to what the problem may be.

Thanks Mark
Seems there are a few other problems to look out for too!

Trouble when you start to look, you find loads of issues.
Hope BMW jump on these issues and sort it out rapidly.

I did love it for the week I had it!
Drove very well, and felt nimble.
Carbon Ceramics had great feel even when cold.
Surprising the leg room in the back
The LED headlights are excellent

There are a few other minor issues I had too that I didn't list on PH, to look out for.
Boot wouldn't shut properly.
Isofix is unusable for the kids seats.
Doors seals squeak like mad.
Lots of road noise in back, sounds like window is down.
Comfort access only works on front doors, not an issue on a M4

This might bring the price of them down a bit!
Hope you get a good one.
All the best
Shawn

Sounds pretty serious to me reading the PH thread.
Have BMW (GB) Customer Service been informed ?

good shout
I am unaware, I would hope the dealership has made them aware.
I need to find the number and make sure they are.

0800 325 600 is the only number you'll need
... and don't hold your breath for your dealer to give BMW HQ the bad news, it's down to individual owners to inform BMW (GB) HQ directly.
Good luck
