Op, I feel I should mention the new M340i is being built by brand new workers in a brand new factory in Mexico, thousand miles from Germany.

First. The Mexico German relationship has only ever been trouble. Zimmerman notes, dead Habsburgs, etc.

Second, any new factory has to go through a break in period. See Tesla. BMW or not, there will be problems and there must be cars produced.

Anyone signing up now to buy a new car from that factory is asking for poor build quality.

I'd recommend anyone who can't get a euro/US G30 to wait or opt for another model.

Mexico can build nice stuff but it takes a while to get it to happen. Thr new 3 is new to the Germans, and new to the Mexicans. Ironing out issues via teleconference across languages?

That's a yikes from me dog.

(Note: have a 110k mile Mexican Silverado no unreasonable issues)
