Hi guys, planning to get a bimmer 320i, up coming batch does all these problems able to rectify?

No guarantee bro. Even the SA cannot be sure.
 
Hi all, I have a 320d. I just got my car last week 2012 model.

First day I drove the car, already I could notice the slight knocking sound on the RH side whenever I go through bumps or uneven road during cornering.
Send back to Wearnes Autohaus, they tighten up the chassis, but it is still they. They went out to test with me and they know the exact sound I am mentioning. But they said it is normal. We went out 2nd time with their test drive unit same issue.

I believe it is not normal.

Would like to know what sort of actions taken by the other SA on this similar problem. I would like to go back and rectify the problem.

Thanks a lot.

it happened once on my car, right rear door, jz pop open and the warning comes out on instrument display together with 'gong' sound. i thought it's due to door closing too soft and the hitch didnt lock up properly, thus didnt pay attention to the matter.
let's see any owners having the same problem..

Seriously?? I think my wiralution much better la kakakaka
 
Today i found out that my rear left side seat squeaks whenever pressure is applied. Temporarily squeezed a piece of sponge in between the cushion and the car body, noise not so audible now :(

HI WannyR,
Thanks. That is what I complain to my SC too, but they said it is normal. May I know which SC that you go, I would like to get a 2nd opinion. Thanks.

Sorry for the delay, I was quite busy last week. Call the SA and was told that "steering rack" was replaced.

Today, I found another problem, lump appear on the side wall of the rubber. :(

Thanks ONGSS.

I presume you have a 328 and the tires are Goodyear??

So far I have not heard any problems involving Bridgestones, although the are fitted on the 320 and 17inch.

You guys should get together and make the claims. This frequency of failure is not normal. I have been owned cars for 30 years now, probably gone through 30 over sets of tires and the only time I had a bulge was with Pirelli P6, even then they replaced the tires based on the amount of wear. Bumps and potholes in our roads have not changed that much in 30 years.

Yes, mine is 328 and Goodyear. I called BMW Mobile and they arranged AB to view the tyre. According to AB, there is no manufacturer warranty for tyre.

I told them I managed to claim warranty from Continental based on the amount of wear. According to the tyre shop, this is a common practice for all tyre manufacturers. They would send technicians to inspect the tyres and the rim. If the bulge is due to the quality of the side wall, the manufacturer shall replace a new one but the owner has to pay the amount of wear. I think this is fair.

Nevertheless, AB is helping to arrange Goodyear to inspect my tyre.

Same here, for the past 25 years, I owned Honda, Benz, Toyota and E39. None of these cars gave the same number of problems like F30. It is a record that I need to send this new F30 so regular to service centres. Currently, I face intermittent problems for the air-con and I will need to wait until a complete breakdown. Otherwise, I don't know how to describe the problem. Sometimes, the air is warm. Sometimes, it is noisy. Sometimes, it works perfectly.
 
yup, just send back to SA and tell them to change the sensor. it happened to me too. according to the technician, some F30 cars have this prob.

3 days- that is damn long to check it. Do they give u a courtesy car?
 
Hi bros, anybody experience water dripping from the exhaust tailpipe every morning when start the car from cold state? Read that its due to condensation but just to double check if all F30s has such similar experience.
