E90 slowly fallin' apart

NaTuReB0Y · 04-07-2007, 04:08 PM

I made an appointment to take the car in for:

Front Ashtray won't closed - broken clip

Gas cap won't open - the little spring that pushes the cap in/out is stuck in the closed position(I used my ATM card to open it every time I pumped gas)

Rear Driver side window only closed when it feels like it - motor problem.

might be time to sell before things get worse.

Take it to the dealer man!

itsbrokeagain · 04-07-2007, 06:06 PM

thats small shit. Quit yer bitchin.

BoostedBMW · 04-07-2007, 06:21 PM

Its nothing too major, I wouldn't sweat it too much. My E46 had the damn window regulators break every few months. Sometimes its annoying, but its not the end of the world when its something small.

its the small things that add up

Jay_328 · 04-07-2007, 06:30 PM

why not take the money you stole from that kids wallet to fix your car

jimmyc · 04-07-2007, 07:05 PM

at least it's not your fuel pump.

Ill agree on that. The reasoning that its nothing major is like pouring salt on the wound. I had my Audi in the shop so many times for small things that it felt like one big thing. I dont care if the warranty covers it all. Its a friggin hassle to take work off to drop off the car and pick it up again. I dont have time for that crap. How about things are meant to work correctly the whole time I own the car?

Karma!

RaptorKTM · 04-07-2007, 08:25 PM

well honestly i notice that the new cars are falling apart a lot faster now. there is no question the e46 had a lot higher quality then the e90.

You are soo right in soo many levels.

uabimmer · 04-07-2007, 08:32 PM

Whats the milage on your car NaTuReB0Y ??

That really sucks it reminds me of when the bearing on my e46 was not properly installed by a local shop and i spent a month riding around with this horrible sound and no one could figure it out.

Hopefully my e90's furture will be brighter

Long live the 3

It's all that carbon fiber. It's blocking all the moving parts.

Is this so you can withdraw money to pay for the gas?

s4iscool · 04-08-2007, 09:00 AM

what makes you think the e46 is built better? I dont buy that one bit. Manufacturing processes and the components in the car get better over time, not worse.

Update:

My gas door was fixed.

Ashtray part on ordered.......

Window --- problem was not duplicate, so the SA stated that nothing was wrong with it.

*** I drove off the lot.....open my rear left window, and it won't closed. I was steaming now!

I made an illegal U-Turn and busted through the door.....and got him by the neck and drag him out to personally see WTF was wrong with my window. Now you believe me ASSHOLE! He apologized and took the car back to the technicians.

Door regulator/motor on ordered.......happy ending! :rocks:

*** and when I got home I noticed some big ass dents on my front left panel with 5 paint chipped....and called him right away, and he apologized and said that the body shop will take care of it when I take it in for the repairs.
