Thanks. It is baffling that the dings and scratches weren't noted and addressed prior to our pick up. That being said they are being properly addressed by the dealership in the best manner available to them at this point.

Thanks! The FOB cover was a toss in from the dealership prior to us noticing the dings and scratches, maybe we should have asked for more swag .

About the flaws, I'm glad the dealer is correcting them, but I feel strongly that they should have seen and corrected them before you even laid eyes on it. The dealer does the last quality inspection before delivery, and apparently they didn't do it.

Thank you and I am right there with you on the last quality inspection. We were floored that not only were the issues there, but the fact we had to bring them to the attention of the dealership was mind-boggling.

Go Cubs and thanks. We purchased it from a Chicagoland BMW Dealership. Our Sales Associate at said dealership has gone the extra mile for us on more than one occasion in the past so I don't want to post anything negative on a public forum. As I said, he was even more upset about the dings and scratches than we were and they are doing what it takes to make it right.

Final note......Michigan Alum here as well as a Cub's fan so.... Go Blue !!

I too would be "beside myself" if I took delivery of a new car with door dings!

I always park to avoid unnecessary damage. (the lazy people that damage others cars can't be bothered to walk another 30secs. )

I've noticed the wood finish on the console is very susceptible to fine scratches.

I'm right there with you. The wife is used to me parking the M3 far from the closest available spot (and she is now following suit with her new X3 ).

There is just something about black on black. The wife and I are big fans (the E90 was black on black and my M3 is (carbon) black on black as well ).

Thanks! We test drove the M Sport, I loved it, but the steering wheel was too big for the wife's liking.....that was painful to hear from my end .

Will do. So far I am a huge fan of the 35i's performance. Once I can get it into the higher power bands I will definitely post some feedback.


PS- I'm heading Spartanburg this weekend for the M Driving School on Sunday and a factory tour on Monday so hopefully I'll have somewhat decent feedback...and the V1 is always with me .
