Hey, I have a 3 series bmw, bought it brand new, and had nothing but problems since day one. First three months I have a faulty wheel bearing (not my fault) and got charged 250 bucks for the wheel alignment/balance cause thats not included in the warranty....(no 5year warranty here!) I have had 4 flat tyres, faulty electrics, tinted windows (done by bmw) that creek all the time (was told this was normal), a steering wheel that creeks, a body creek that took 50 men and 2 weeks to fix, (but i did try to tell them where the noise was coming from but none cared), paid 270 for ipod connection, needed a new seat belt, 4 light bulbs blew, services and all the little extras they find have always cost over 1500 dollars!!! (no 5 year warranty there), had the abs system croak itself, and to top the list a very RARE part bought my car to a halt (2hrs after a service) which sent it into limp mode, hence bmw still charged me 650 dollars to fix it, after the 780 dollar service 2 days earlier...What an idiot I am..and what a crap car....I waited all my life to afford a bmw and this is what I got!!! The service was crap and they treated me so rudely, like I was a woman who knew nothing....
I now apparently have seals that are leaking oil and need replacing for a total of 3500 dollars...yes thousands!!! my mechanic (old school guy) says the parts only cost a couple of hundred dollars.....mmmmmmm....Not much, if anything is covered under warranty......Now these are the things I can remeber off the top of my head!!! VERY DISAPPOINTING for a car that is only 3 years old!!! undefined
