OP: This sucks, but use this as an opportunity to get to know an SA, maybe the SM. The last thing you want to do is get mad this early in the relationship. They know you're upset, who wouldn't be? Just be cool, get peoples' cards, thank them and so forth. You really don't want to start off on the wrong foot with your SA. 2 cents.

My X 335 had a broken handle she has taken it in a couple of times to get it fixed and it still breaks off i guess they are defective
No -- it's an advanced anti-theft device available on select new BMWs. If your fingerprints are not detected as the valid owner and an attempt is made to open a door, the handle breaks off. Sort of like one of those lizard's tails
