Came out to the car tonight to this

What the heck? Did the plastic just snap while it was parked in the garage?!?

rcracer_tx · 11-26-2008, 10:19 PM

Its a fairly common problem that is being addressed by BMW...

Breville · 11-26-2008, 10:19 PM

You want to watch that or it'll fall off..

I assume so, I didn't check when I got out of the car last, so who knows when it happened. Of course my luck it happens right before the Thanksgiving holiday, so it'll be awhile until I can get the car in.

Lol funny how u titled the thread, i thought it would be about being amazed of how the car drove lol. But that sucks... im taking it a good amt of people are having this problem if BMW is addressing this problem?

Mega Man · 11-27-2008, 01:54 AM

Wow...just wow...

Lester · 11-27-2008, 02:49 AM

A little crazy glue will fix that.

Alpine* · 11-27-2008, 02:59 AM

It'll buff out for sure.

Seriously though, this is becoming a real issue for 1ers, and it is about as obvious an issue with a new car as you could get!

Hey Yearofthe1, was the last thing you did by chance getting something out of the boot? (trunk for you Amercan peoples) and then close it? Reason I ask is that it seems you really have to slam those suckers to get them to shut properly and, I believe, this is what is contributing to an already tight fit with that brake assembly... food for thought.

Nope, haven't been in the boot for a few days now :iono:

Wow I am thinking of using superglue (using a very, very small amount) over the crack that is developing in the centre of mine....just to prevent it snapping in half like that.

Mine had to be replaced when I was picking it up from the dealer. Had a crack right in the middle of it.

It's a undocumented feature only found at 1addicts!

Hmm we really should have a thread of shame, that would be a nice pic...

All the wacky strange things...

bee in the light, lights falling off etc... maybe things that only 1addicts would chuckle about...or cry...

BTW thanks for the post...
