Hi all,

Picked up my X3 today and while driving back on the motorway from the dealership, I kept noticing that the drivers side of the bonnet appeared to be flapping. I brushed this off as an illusion of light.

Anyway, got home and surely enough when I checked, the drivers side of the bonnet was loose and the gap is way bigger than the other side, whereas the passenger side was firmly stuck as you would expect.

Having some from the F25 X3, I thought this was odd, as the build quality was top notch in the old X3.

I checked the manual and opened the bonnet (the release mechanism is very strange indeed and seems so sloppy) and then tried to close it firmly at the 50cm mark as it says, but the drivers side bonnet is still not shutting properly.

I am well annoyed and will be contacting the dealership tomorrow, but how on earth could BMW mess up a simple thing like the Bonnet release and close parts?

Anyone else found this to happen, is this a design fault, or someone easy to fix?

Thanks
