aluminium door panel pops out

[siti akbarlela]

It's amazing how a bmw has this unbelievable problem.....one day while driving, the aluminum panel on the driver's side just pop out onto my lap. Went to AB to solve the problem......but I ended up visiting them almost 5 times form that first pop-out. Got it fixed on the same day then it popped out again and again. For RM225K to say I'm annoyed is an understatement.Wrote to BMW Malaysia and they directed the AB to look into this matter.Got fixed and the AB guys banged the door few times,they said factory defect and then now the left door panel has started to give way. Even my previous Kancil doesn't give such type of problem.....he..he.....!leceh la...

Umm... very sad case... hope its an isolated one..

if problem still persist, take it to a reputable accessory shop and they'll do it for u. Forget about goin to AB for engine unrelated problems.

Yeah, don't worry siti, as kelvin said go to somewhere else, they will fix it for you. This thing made by human, i'm sure somebody can fix it.

Actually, it's quite common for e46.

That is quite scary... should not be happening to a BMW. Maybe to the numero uno local car, yes but definitely not to a BMW....
