Rusted seat ....????

[c-square]

Thanks for the advice, bro. Yeah, I've communicated the rust issue and also my angst to the Service Advisor and all I can do now is to wait for them to call me back when my parts arrive. "Congratulations" to BMW for successfully tarnishing its reputation which took years to build with the roll-out of the F30 which is fraught with a slew of QC issues.

Bmw, for sure, losing its ground...its plain shocking reading all of customers comments here...it will not be that 'intriguing', if it is few cases involved. But, unfortunately, according to various forums worldwide, it seems like a viral thing. And thats clear sign that QC is not anymore issue, as few units always can slip away trough fingers, but such huge number of issues, all around, is nothing but serious symptomatic situation. I know its not real sign of anything, but to me, from the moment M division start outsourcing tneir work, outside of Germany, i knew its about such things start happening, as we see, and i believe it will be more of such things. Just out of curiosity, checked my coupe for all those rust things..rock solid and shiny everywhere...shame on bmw for such ugly work over new vehicles.

seat pan changed at ingress... the new ones are actually powder coated black.

Anyone got their car from wearnes? So far how it went?

I also realize they forgot to cover the end of the seat rail with a plastic cover. One side have it. Another missing. Damn

With all these issues, I think the QC director at BMW AG should get the sack. There is just too much hassle having to shuttle to and forth the Service Centre so many times

Try looking under the seat from the front... From the car floor looking up

Oh well...I don't bother too much though..it will take at least 10 years for the rust to collapse the seats . But agree...damn the poor QA/QC

AB penang SA says buyers check their cars before registration and if any factory defect will give u another car. Of course
you'd have to wait for the next car.

Seems fair to me.

Well regardless of what marque you buy if your workforce have the 'tak apa' mentality you're bound to end up with a cars that come off the line with problems

wonder what the quality control people actually do at the assembly plant. i still have stickers in my car which say checked and passed inspection surprisingly none of them are under the seat which means they didn't even bother checking beneath.
