Agreed, but it still happened. Consumer Reports agrees (whatever that’s worth), and issues on the Forums like I had are there. It’s a 50/50 shot.

Read the entire article:

The brakes were an issue right off the lot - I believe the car sat there for a long time. It didn’t really show itself until after a few trips at higher speeds, then got progressively worse. The calipers are made by Brembo, but the rotors are simply Hyundai parts.

It’s a hassle for sure, but at least BMW will give you a loaner without issue, and a nice one to boot. At Kia, I couldn’t even get one, and these were clear issues from the builder..I didn’t even ask about the paint.

I was hoping, due to the price point, that things would be different. I tried...

Defintily makes sticking with BMW an easier decision.

This car drives great, but build quality is poor. My story:

Allow me, because I sold mine after 5 weeks.

There is not a WRX on Earth worth over 50,000$.

I like them, they drove well, about the same as my old 3000GT. The Nissan 350Z cribbed some styling cues from it if you ask me. But compared to the 1st and 2nd gen....nope.

They seem to have a system in place: Alpine White and Jet Black are no cost, Metallic colors listed on the order sheets are usually $550, priority one colors listed on the order sheet are something like $1,950, and then the full on individual colors are around $5,000.

You can order just about anything you want on any BMW (minus some color restrictions they set up beforehand) through their individual program:

Haha, you remind me of those people who tell a depressed person to “try not being depressed?” Not that easy.

I like em. Sorry not sorry.

Thanks guys!!

I saw it, but I refuse to suffer because people are idiots in general. Where does it end; shall we get rid of highways too? They are very dangerous to stupid people.

If everyone will drive electric cars in the future, why do we have to worry about this?

What? That’s...that’s insane. I’ve never spent that in a year on any BMW, including my E92 M3.

I’m curious about a few things. I know my immediate neighbors, as I’m sure you do. I don’t know the people at the end of the block, but do you know everyone in the apartment building next to you? Do you know everyone in your own? They are technically your neighbors, since they are very close to you. They might even…

I’m honestly not sure which 2 they mean. The Coupe is built on a different, RWD platform vs this one. They said small, cheap BMWs so I guess anything is game.
