2 out of my 3 previous BMW has some problems, but all the problem occur few months after and were fix under warranty. I would be happy to accept it because we are not buying BMW for reliability, everyone know that.
But the defects on this new X5 are ridiculous, I don't mean to be pedantic, all the defects are appear cosmetically (obviously) which can be discover with simple visual inspection. Why the BMW factory "well trained" QC personel didn't inpect the car ? why the dealer didn't run a pre-delivery inspection & fix all the defects before deliver the car to end user ? why they delivered a defective car which let the customer wasting their time sending the car "many time" to the dealer to get fix ?
i have asking for others option rather than repaint to cover the defects, but the dealer service advisor said "no ! the paint is not up to the standard, we have to repaint it !" What a shame ! BMW produce a car that "not up to the standard" & deliver it to the customer ? can u believe it ?
