The old wipers were skipping and did not wipe the windscreen properly;2. Headlights - Additional bracket was installed and the headlight is not 'bouncy' when driving around uneven roads;3. Panel - Panel has been replaced with new parts from Germany. The gap is not that obvious and acceptable now;4. Power window (front driver) - one touch button not functioning. Motor/ gear to be replaced and tinting to be replaced by wingard too;5. Knocking sound - Awaiting for new steering bracket from Germany, engine mounting has arrived in Malaysia. Both will be replaced when the full parts are in Malaysia;6. BMW badge - replaced.7. Rusty seats - photos taken, new seats have arrived from Germany, rusty seats will be replaced once the claims have been approved;8. Drivetrain problem - software update, now the car drives better and gear shift is smoother. Per the technician, software update will be done on all F30 when first service is due. Personally, I think BMW Malaysia should do a mass recall and update all software to prevent this from happening. What happened to me was, the engine cuts off the power when I tried to overtake when I was driving on north south highway. The gearbox refused to gear up or down and my car was losing power/ speed. It was a scary moment as I had a car tailgating me. Just imagine what will happen if this happened when overtaking along a dual carriageway. Madness.9. Leaky windscreen - No cracks on the windscreen, just a leaky sealant. The rubber sealant was refitted and it is alright now. That's all folks. After all the fuss, I was offered a RM500 car wash and polish, what a bloody insult to me. I am fighting for extended warranty or exchange (which is unlikely). Wish me luck.</blockquote>
