Find this very hard to believe.

You shouldn't. I've heard of miss matching panels on new cars before and it was not just BMW. Sometimes cars get scratched when they get loaded or unloaded or even when being driven around the lot.

I don't this is that hard to believe... especially here in SA when you look at how many people have endless service problems.

But surely not to this extent... ?

The car was picked up at 5pm the next morning it was back the dealership and the PUMA Case was opened up?

How could the car be crashed n repaired ? :fencelook: BMW SA said the car hasn't been resprayed or repaired and its conforms to BMW standards.

The guys that saw the car on Saturday noticed the defects...

Venture Sa clicky here

As far as n know these guys make some of the car parts for example the bumpers etc and they are seperate from bmw, there may have been a problem on there plant with the colours

The cars built in Germany... so i dont know who sprays the plastic panels there.

Just dont give up. If it was not in a smash, then its a reject. and as far as I know Rejects must be replaced.

I Just got my Car back from the BMW Pannelbeater and they did the right thing second time round. Im happy

:bravo:

That's terrible...I would expect a new car.

My car is perfect in terms of panel fit and colour but after reading this post I realize I also dont have the m footrest or the m performance display on my car....

Thats just not right. They need to get a new car. If i were you i would take the car back and demand that the deal be cancelled.

This car sounds like it was in some form of an accident, BMW Germany would not release the car with such defects. I'm betting the crap started when the car got to SA.

UPDATE...
I got a email saying that they want to take the car to the plant to sort it out now. :nonono:

First it conforms to standards now they want it at the plant... :fencelook:

I'm awaiting Bodo Donauer's reply first.

mmmm This will be a nice subject for 3d Degree on e TV. No no no you demand a New one. If they realy wanted to fix thier sh... then they should offer you extras for all the hassels they have caused you like performance brakes exhaust as compansation.

I know I would want a New Car. Tell them the media is next step.

Damn sorry bro! after reading this yesterday i had a mate of mine help me look at my car last night to check any defects. All looks good for now hmmm

Good luck and i hope it all gets sorted!

Had the shame shit with my bike. walked into the dealership on a full saterday morning all chilled, called the owner out and started to screen and shout after a number of attempts to get the bike sorted. Think i must have scared the whole place haha

After 1 week got a new bike :rollsmile:

Good luck man!

NEW CAR NEW CAR!


Ok i just got off the phone with BMW Cedar regarding the M foot rest and M performance on the cluster.

The M footrest is aparantly an extra that you need to order.

The M performance on the cluster is not standard, he says some after market companys get into the computer and configure it.hmmmmmm

Sounds a little strange to me
