For the BMW i4 G26 (i4 eDrive35, i4 eDrive40, i4 xDrive40, i4 M50 / M60; chassis G26, G26E; model years 2021-) our catalogue lists 23 features in 10 categories. Below you see per category what we can switch on or retrofit.
Each feature shows how certain we are: “likely possible” means several independent sources confirm it; “checked at diagnosis” means it differs from car to car. Final compatibility is always confirmed at the diagnosis of your car.
Seven Tuning works in Rotterdam and Waddinxveen: the workshop is in Waddinxveen and serves Rotterdam and the surrounding area. Remote coding works anywhere in the Netherlands and abroad, when the job allows it.
