[QUOTE="jason, post: 626775, member: 182"] The F30 does indeed have a problems. For the naysayers that assume the problems are due to SKD and local workmanship then please take a look at the earlier bimmerpost links and the following: [url]http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=731498[/url] [url]http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=682580[/url] [url]http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=699876[/url] All US cars are CBU from Germany and look at their problems. My opinion is that most issues are related to parts failure and their related QC rather than assembly. I have tested my 328i SKD for all known issues and thankfully have not found any problems (touch wood). The chassis and assembly is spot on with no creaks or rattles. Recently took a trip to desaru and Singapore for a shake down tour and the car did not miss a beat. I will complain that some plastic parts (in not immediately visible areas) have not been finished properly with flashings still hanging on the parts. Annoying but easily resolved with a blade and some patience. Some exposed metal parts in the seats have not been filed down and are very sharp All German brands face similar finishing issues especially in this segment; MB, Audi/VW are not spared. YMMV.
