So it's been say 5 days since I took delivery of the 325 and now she's clocked just over 1,000 kms ... So what gives? Let's see:- engine is so much smoother than when it was at 200kms- consumption is better too (9.6l/100 km on highway)- getting used to the car and how she handlesBut here are some fun facts:- boot lid is misaligned- bonnet lid is misaligned- vertical plastic that separates the kidneys was scratched on the corner at the factory and the touch up job was like Tippex, picture to come later- howling sound from passenger side A pillar when exceeding 130 km/h, it is wind noise BUT does not sound like what you'd get in an Alza, rather it sounds like a spoilt bearing- car creaks here and there, not metallic but it's plastic to plastic, sounds coming from B pillar/seats/plastic attachments. Not that loud but heck, for a 300k car? Will let the car settle down a bit more before I take it back to the SCPopped by AB Glenmarie today and one of the service guys says creaks etc are a norm. But he was unsure of the wind noise so an appointment was made to resolve it. Looks like what I read in forums be it locally or internationally on E90 Beemers are now manifesting itself.
My first 1,000 kms

et ... I may be much luckier. The howling noise is prob the seals on the windscreen, it's loose hence the resonating sound. Easy fix. The so called creaks might be only the door rubber seals. Just condition it and it will go away. The service person at AB did tell me many E90s have issues with the dashboard and it's common. Touch wood, I don't hear any yet!
