Questionable Build Quality of E70

[onesixeight]

Hi Guys...

After three months with my E70, as much as I hate to say, I'm quite disappointed with the build quality of my 4.8i Sport. BMW continued use of "hard plastics" thoughout the interior including the high flex areas like the center console and seat control areas contribute to a lot of that hard plastic "creaking" sound and a terrible rattle in the steering column that my dealer has been unable to fix.

While I still love to drive the SAV, I'm starting to get pissed at just how poor the build quality is and a vehicle that rattles and creaks down the road. While some may not consider this a major issue, it's quite upsetting to just have layed down $72k for a top of the line BMW product and have to put up with this.

While my experience may be in the minority, I'd like to hear what you guys think about the build quality of the E70. This is certainly something that I didn't figure when I first test drove the car, but at this point, if BMW doesn't fix my car and with all the other problems I've been having, I'm ready to give up on this car.
