Interior quality issues
Are those of you with LCI’s seeing issues with quality on interior parts? We have the “dent” in the dashboard, some small issues with the leather on the door panel and issues with the aluminum trim around the AC vent. I’m sure BMW will make this right, but I expected the higher quality parts to be put on an M car. This is likely due to parts shortages and needing to use whatever to get cars out the door.

I have a pre-LCI and a have a lot of squeeking. Even the driver's side window after lowered oddly squeeks for like 5 seconds on every movement. Overall a lot of sqeeking and noise while driving. Leather can easily be ripped by something rubbing against it, have a few marks. I believe these are normal, all cars are a bit built cheaper in the last 10 years but technology is increasing in them.

I seem to be having trouble attaching photos from my phone. I did take my car to BMW and they have submitted photos to BMW and waiting for further issues. Basically it looks likely that I’ll end up getting a new dash, passenger door panel and possibly cargo area trim piece. The service manager and shop manager both worked with me and agreed these were manufacturing defects. They had an m40i with the dash removed already so it was good to see that it was a more common procedure for them.

The ambient lighting contours/tubes on both front doors were splotchy and uneven from factory. Disappointing, but a common issue on the G01 X3 platform. At the dealer now for new components.
God bless my SA. The local dealer is also the area's Rolls Royce service center, so he conscripted a Rolls tech to complete the work on my car. And then put me in a 2022 750 M-sport for the week.

You know, it's funny you mention the faint rattle. Over the past couple weeks, I had noticed a very faint (but clearly audible) rattle near the door lock pin on the driver's door. Easily masked by music, but clearly there without music or while on a phone call, etc. Funnily enough, I've noticed a similar rattle in this brand new $120k 7 series. It has 200 miles on it Figured I would wait to assess after they get the ambient lighting issue resolved. It's easy enough to pop off the door panel in my garage and apply felt tape all over, so if it's still there, that may be the route I take.
