Is there a Secret Service Menu to Check Battery Health? I know that BMW has secret service menus from my i3 and an older 5 series. Does anyone know how to access it in the 2022 i4 with OS 8.0?

I found it. To access, you have to stand on one leg, with the other leg pulled up so your foot is level with your knee. Now take your left arm and hold it straight put while placing your right hand on the side of your head.

Recite, 'I'm a little tea pot short and stout' 3 times in a row while dipping your left hand.

Trust me it works.

It worked! Thanks! 🙏

Hmmmm... If you're serious (I can't tell!), please give us a bit more on this?

I'm convinced this does not tell us what we think it's telling us about battery health.

You can get to the menu 2 ways. Car in "Ready to Drive" mode, hold BC button on stalk in for 20-25 seconds to bring up the menu. Quick press BC button to scroll through options, long press (5-10 seconds) to select item. Nothing that interesting. To enable the "disabled" items, put car into diagnostics mode then hold BC button for 20-25 seconds. Showroom mode just has various videos playing in random order showing the concept car and a some features (like gesture control which i4's don't come with). Tap the screen if you want to jump to the end of the current video. Chassis Dyno mode use at your own risk. Brake service mode useful for those who like to service their own car.
There is no "Unlock" menu item... maybe requires a different sequence?
