Remote locking failed due to faulty seal on receiver letting in water. New clutch and flywheel due to distorted flywheel. (both faults known to BMW and fixed under warranty.)
New driver door latch (rattles) New throttle pedal assembly (rattles)
Build quality is inferior to the previous E46 320d Touring.
No water temperature gauge.
Plastics are hard and feel cheap.
No storage for rear seat passengers (seat nets/door pockets)
Run flat tyres expensive to replace, cannot be repaired and make for a hard ride. No spare or jack supplied.
Radio/CD, poor sound quality.
Poor quality leather seats/trim.
Silly cheap cover over brake fluid reservoir.
Cruise control stalk too close to indicator stalk.
Don, t forget that with metallic paint, panoramic sunroof, xenon lights and leather this car cost over £30,000 new. Not good enough BMW.
Excellent and true. Plus no front seat belt height ajustment, very small glovebox and doesn't always start due to steering lock refusing to disengaged.
Have they solved the breaking up of the turbo that is so common on the previous model resulting in huge repair costs.?? Time will tell.
I think BMW have tried to shave off so much weight in pusuit of economy and performance that they may have taken it too far.
