I know X3 is great car and much better than GLK.

Just disappointed with inconsistent materials and build quality throughout all models unlike MB.

I'm not talking about powertrain and chassis.

Here is F12 door that shows solid plastic cover bolted with 3M thinsulate damping. Also holes for clips is surrounded by rubber seal.

Tech said F25 and F30 has clips in the door panel for damping materials but BMW didn't put it in.

3M thinsulate is great material for sound damping and water resistent, most european luxury brands using it.
