Hi my son broke this clip on my i4m60. 😭 Only had it a week. I take it this will not be covered under warranty. Anyone know the actual name of the part

Seems the real question is if that bit can be replaced without having to get into things very far. If you need to take out the charge port to replace that tab...
Hoo boy.
Pretty sure that BMW borked up things in that regard pretty badly. People have mentioned the battery pack getting dropped to replace the charge port.

That'd be several hundreds of dollars/pounds in labor to replace a 50 cent/pence plastic part.

Only a week old and it breaks. I would see what the dealer says. Never hurts to get a quote if you live near by and have the time. High chance they will do it for free.

That is because the location of the other end of the electrical wires. The cost would be similar to people who have gotten the charging door stuck. Probably only a minimal charge at the dealer. Minimal charge at a BMW dealer can be £200

You have my sympathy. Minor pint when choosing a car but no question a bit of quality on the BMW rather than those wretched pull off plastic plugs offered by so many.
