Picked-up 2013 x28i! With missing parts?
We picked up our 2013 x28i yesterday. I'm really surprised at how well the car drives.
Here's some pictures I snapped with my iPhone. I'm sure you all know what this car looks like. We purchased the car with the premium package which includes the X-Line package. While I was inspecting the vehicle thoroughly at the dealership I noticed that the driver side and left rear passenger doors had the BMW door sills, but the ones on the right side were missing. I was somewhat in disbelief that would happen and you would think they would have caught such a glaring mistake like that off the production line. Our sales rep was as speechless as we were when I notified him of this glaring problem. The parts are being ordered ASAP, but regardless we're still happy with the vehicle. Has anyone had this happen on their vehicle as well? Perhaps this is happening because of the demand for the vehicle has dramatically increased, hence lowering quality?

That is strange, I hope it looks perfect when they get the parts. Nice X3! I'm getting the rubber mats, I may be wierd but I think they look good.
PS: I posted this separately earlier, does your iDrive controller say "media" instead of "radio" just wondering. Thanks! |

Definitely very strange especially since so much of the assembly process is automated.
The robot responsible needs to be disciplined, halve it's oil and lubricant rations for this month. |

Not only it is strange to left the factory without it, but also to get to you after the Pre Delivery Inspection (usually done at the dealer) without the parts.

It is not unusual for a car to have something scratched or damaged from the factory to the dealership. I wonder if the dealership took out the pieces to get it repaired and didn't own up to it (or forgot). It's just a possibility and not an accusation.

Mine did not come with Door sills but I would very much like to order some.
I called a few dealers and they were not very helpful. Any chance you can get a part number for the sills and pass it along? Thanks! Last edited by swag; 06-04-2012 at 01:27 PM.. |

You should be able to find a part number on RealOEM.com. Look under Vehicle Trim, then Interior Equipment, Lower, and then under Edge protector / Trim for Entry.
