Input last 7 characters of VIN, one of the lines of information is which plant; must admit I thought all G30 saloons were coming from Dingolfing at the moment

The seats on the X5 were as ordered - just incredibly hard and gave me a lot of back pain. The misbuild was related to the Pure Excellence design pack I had specified - it was missing some of the features.

My G30 back to the dealer. The side mirror not tilting when in reverse (but folds normally). The headlight washers (full ICON LED) not working. I have been told it would take two days to fix. Produced in Dingolfing. Otherwise two weeks spent with the car have been wonderful.

On the optimistic side, dealers would have had demonstrators running for at least a month now and some of these options which are exhibiting issues would be relatively common so one would hope they are being debugged promptly... The unspeakable pessimistic scenario is that this car has been released without a full testing programme in an effort to get it on sale, or that the factory quality system is not picking up what seem like rudimentary faults in this digital age, either it works or it doesn't.

I'm amazed at some of these stories and I wonder if it's dealer specific. My dealer in East Sussex wouldn't let me have the car for 2 days after it arrived as they wanted to go over the whole thing to make sure everything worked. My BMW genius was 24yrs old and new most of his stuff. After 45 mins of sitting in the car with him in the handover bay I said that this was fascinating - it really was - but can I go drive the car now. Apparently with the G30 there's so much tech they expect most owners to head back after a month to work out the rest. I'm resisting this - it would be an affront to my geekiness 😃

Many people say same thing but do they keep that word ? Probably not . I generally advise to avoid first year of cars but I'm definitely wanting to buy G30 sooner than later because G30 is

For a brand new car that landed from Germany few hours before, not just the dealer at fault here I be complaining to BMW about them too, I am at my 4th brand new BMW order over the last 20 years, between my cars and my wife we had some 8 deliveries, I do know from experience BMW quality is dropping, not surprised with the volumes they up to now. so not alway dealers fault.
Last time I checked they are not behind the code and software let a long a brand new car setup, never the less no excuses for not checking the car before calling you for a pick up when you coming all the way from Donegal, on the positive side you aware of it and should the nav go wrong again you fully aware of the screw up at the beginning and can claim new one on warranty. our X3 was one of the 1st produced, we had a number of issues all resoved with warranty even after warranty expired we managed to get them resolved with out paying, I guess we learned the hard way for never going for 1st produced cars in any model, always a risk with any brand I believe.

Quick update on my G30. Neither the Dealer or BMW know what is causing the fault. BMW have asked the dealer to run some tests that require some part of the exhaust to be opened up, and that will require new seals which have to be sent from Germany – they won’t arrive until next Wednesday.
I’m feeling pretty miserable and cheesed off about the whole experience now. I’m told BMW Customer Service have been made aware of the situation and that when the car is fixed they will make some gesture to keep me happy – but to be honest the way I’m feeling now, it would take something spectacular to make me happy.

Glad to hear you've finally got yours mate. Hope you're enjoying it!
I'd be curious to know what sweetener they offer you - it might give me some indication what to expect. |

Thats a bummer! Make sure you let them know that you are very unsatisfied and per the survey if they want to get good marks what can they do to make it up to you.
