I recently purchased a BMW i5 and the electric motor seems to be failing. I'm not sure what's causing it, but I'm worried about the cost of repairs. Any advice on how to troubleshoot the issue and potentially fix it myself?
ReplyBased on my experience with BMW i5’s, electric motor failure could be caused by a variety of factors. I would recommend checking the motor’s connections and the battery’s charge level as a first step. It’s also important to keep up with regular maintenance and inspections to prevent any major issues.
I had a similar issue with my BMW i5 and it turned out to be a faulty sensor. I would advise taking it to a certified BMW mechanic for a diagnostic to pinpoint the exact issue. Replacing a sensor is much cheaper than replacing the entire electric motor.
In my experience, electric motor failure in the BMW i5 is often due to overheating. Make sure you are not overusing the car or driving it too aggressively, as this can cause the motor to overheat and fail. You can also consider installing additional cooling systems to prevent this from happening in the future.
