New Car Warranty Work so far

donlokiman · 02-23-2014, 04:19 PM

So I bought my 2011 right before thanksgiving, and I have been on a mission to find every problem before end of warranty. So far..

Coolant hose leak
Coolant reservoir leak
Shadow Trim paint bubbles
Seatbelt Butler passenger side
Driver side door handle not unlocking on double pull
Oil Filter Housing leak

And the big one.

AC evaporator replacement due to leak.

Was driving it today and for some reason it felt like it lost power for a second around 3000 RPM. All I could think about was the issue people have with losing boost because of a cracked charge pipe. I'm planning to buy the proper equipment to check codes and be sure its maintaining boost. I wan to do JB4 but before that I need to go through the car.

It's really a shame to see so many problems on a 2011. Our other car is a 2011 Honda that just passed 100k. The only repair, if you want to call it that, was rear brake pads. Oh, tires and wiper blades of course.

I know BMW is a higher performance car, but some of those things on your list just shouldn't be problems at 3 years old.
