First of all, greetings to all!
I've just become the proud owner of an 2008 530d M Sport, and it's lovely! But I think this must be some kind of record for issues from a dealer in the first week!
1. Sold the tyre insurance for the run flats, looked like a good deal.....until you pay attention and notice you don't have run flats fitted, shame I did this after taking the dealers word for the run flats!
2. Collect care from dealer, get home, really start looking to find they "Cleaned" it, and had said they "stripped it down" to the paint finish, and applied some fancy coat! Well yep they did...well apply the top coat, as it was in runs down the wings, and the number plate and in the seams, and they had sealed over the dirt! Could pick it off with my finger nails!
3. Drove car home (Bad roads, rush hour), went out the next day, big smile much quicker than my old 320! But then vibration through the steering wheel!! Rats, wheel balance, so back to dealer and they balanced all the wheels, none had been balanced.
4. and today discovered weird vibration coming through the seat, in fact the entire car, so it's now booked in again to be looked at!
You just have to love BMW dealers, dirty rotten stinking b&*#erd@
Anyway, I'm sure once all these things are sorted I'll be back loving it again, currently BMW have left a very nasty taste.....but then I press the go peddle and the smile returns, even if its through vibrating teeth!!!
