Took Bmw I4 M50 for a first drive today, being the owner of a Taycan 4S since december 2020. This is my findings, confirming that most of us made the right decision to buy a Taycan?
Taycan 4S, Pro
The best looking EV
A true EV, several compromise’s on the Bmw.
Air suspension, Bmw front...
Wheels, brakes and passanger display is a waste of a lot of money. I got passanger display but never use it. Go for after market wheels, makes your Taycan special.
I have been though the same thinking process. The reason for not having them painted is not because of wear surface, most of the “plastic” is painted on the Turbo model. I have the sport design kit om my 4S (glossy black) and had my front lip painted to have the black glossy look all the way. A...
Taycan is all about the looks! I have 20” for winter and 21” for summer. 21” for winter is a no go. The rubber turns to cement…In the summer you cannot feel the difference. Focus on the tire quality and not the rim size. The air suspension will take care of the difference.
Spare parts seems to be a general problem. Destroyed my door as the parking camera is really bad (i have decided to blame the camera as the alternative would be that I was a bad driver?). We are approaching 2 month waiting time, and still no date for when the door will arrive. Hence, now...
In my opinion, what makes the Taycan stand out, is the design, and you do not spend much on “looks”. You just cannot run 19” wheels…?take at look at http://www.porsche-code.com/PNSDZRH9. I like the color, it’s a head turner color?
I will swop as soon as i can get one. It’s the first EV that looks like a real car and i would expect some switches and button and Bmw driving experience? Comming from a Bmw M5 with a V8 to a Taycan 4s makes you realise that EVs still has a long way to go… ?
Yes, excatly the same, on the same trip and within 3 min after each other. Started just after my car was delivered. Dealer couldn’t find anything, just kicked the tyres and returned the car. It still come and go, but i just ignore it as with all the other error messages..
Inform the dealer not to wash the car, if they do, they will most likely scratch the paiting, drive it directly for coating. Spend the time at the dealer understanding charging and setting up your connect account. Find the manual! I never look in manuels before, until i got a Taycan.
This is the part numbers i have been adviced i need, if i would like to convert the “plastic” lower part of my front pumper on my 4S to Turbo. This one is black glossy (EUR 2.000 for parts). You can also just replace the lip and get is painted (EUR 280, ex paint job). I will go with the lip as i...
Same problem here, normally on cold days or after washing, also warnings on lights, breaking sensors and e-sound. The shop “updated” the software, and suggested i cleaned the camera! The shop has no idea how to fix this. It’s unacceptable for a car with this price tag....
Ask someone to take the passager seat, it will make the screen start correct. Haven’t had the probkem without passanger since. I have a lot of issues with my screens comming and going. Has been to the dealer but they justed “kicked the tires”. They have no idea how to fix an EV...
