car has been in the shop for 4 times now at 12500 miles.
Going back on Monday again to change the steering wheel.

After dealer re-flashed my ecu last week I have been getting more lag and 14.1 MPG
Before this I was never been able to go under 16.8 or so.

Talking to my Service Guy these cars have a lot of issues as they are built from spare parts of others BMW and mini cars.

Even the steering wheel is slightly to the Right out the center of the seat.

It is fast but quality is shitty.

I owned 2 brand new Honda's and had them for 3-4 years, they where never in the shop - ever.

I had 5 different Golf GTD's from 1984 I to 1995 III
Never had an issue that I could not fix with a screwdriver.

And I put 200000 Kms each on two of them 89 - II and 95 III
No issues at all.


So I am totally disappointed with BMW quality.

O yeah, spilling 2-3 ounces of armor-all in the trunk storage compartment cost me 1200$ in electronic damage.
