The 4 Series is a unique line of cars, and when they have an issue it’s important to trust an expert with the repair. Read on to learn about the most common issues we see with 4 Series cars. Sensor Issues BMWs are complex and sophisticated vehicles. Since they have many performance options, electrical components and added features, much of the operations of 4 Series cars is done by computer automation. While this automation allows the car to perform at a high level, it also can cause issues if the sensors are out of sync. Sometimes a faulty sensor can cause the car to only operate at a low power level, experience difficulty with steering or not start entirely. Our team of techs is experienced in the electrical components of 4 Series cars and can determine if the sensors in your car are functioning properly. Suspension/Steering Knocking 4 Series cars are low to the ground and can offer complex performance options for steering and suspension. These high-performance options are great when they work as intended, but the added complexity can cause issues. When a 4 Series car has a knocking sound when going over terrain or steering, it can be cause for concern. This knocking can be caused by different issues, but it should be addressed immediately so the issue doesn’t become a bigger, more expensive problem. Trunk Not Opening Most cars in the 4 Series family feature an automatic-opening trunk which can be lifted with the push of a button on the key fob. While the issue seems trivial, the springs which lift the trunk can wear quickly at times and fail to lift the trunk all the way up. This issue is more common than one would think among 4 Series models, but luckily it’s an easy fix to replace the springs for our experienced techs. If you own a 4 Series and are experiencing any issues, our team of experts can help. Whether your issue is outlined above or not, we can quickly diagnose the problem and make a plan to get it fixed.
