A creator who typically focuses on crypto betting, particularly high risk meme coins, got his audience’s attention with a post about his BMW M4.

The 2025 BMW M4 is a beast of a machine, blending raw power with cutting-edge tech and can cost upwards of $120,000. But Tiger Trades (@tradertigers) still found something to complain about.

His TikTok, titled “like bruh,” starts with him in the passenger seat of the M4, wearing sunglasses.

“Bruh, whoever designed this and that [expletive] M4 is actually like, can someone actually explain to you why there is no [expletive] parking mode in freaking the M4?” he says in the clip. “Like, bro, hey, look at this [expletive]. it's [expletive] reverse neutral and drive. Like, how do I like, like, how do I put the car in park while the car is running without turning it off? This is actually probably the most annoying thing about this car. Like sometimes it kind of, like, kind of gets to me, bro. It kind of gets to me.”

Motor1 reached out to Tiger Trades over TikTok’s direct messaging about the video but didn’t immediately receive a response. We'll update this if he responds.

Tiger Trades’ post highlights a feature about the car that some drivers may find confusing.

Parking Without the 'P'

Unlike traditional automatics, the M4’s dual-clutch transmission (DCT) or automatic doesn’t always feature a standard "P" button.

Man Saves Enough for 'the Perfect Truck.' Then He Reveals It

For BMW M4 Models with Dual-Clutch Transmission, or DCT, which includes the model embraced by Tiger Trades, drivers are supposed to bring the car to a complete stop while simultaneously keeping their foot firmly on the brake pedal, according to BMW. After doing that, the driver should engage the electronic parking brake. That brake is found near the center console.

Finally, drivers should press the START/STOP button to turn off the engine, and the car will automatically shift into park, displaying a “P” on the dashboard.

“Soon as u put the handbrake on and out in N turn car off it’ll go into park, its just a way to tell difference between DCT and reg auto,” a TikTok user going by “Mar” wrote to Tiger Trades.
