After a month of living with my BMW approved used 07 Coupe to establish any niggly warranty items I dropped my car into the local BMW delaers a couple of days ago. These are all common faults but I thought I'd share the BMW response with you....
Broken drivers side rear spring (also happened on my old Z4 roadster) - parts are on back order, car is safe to drive. BMW will replace under warranty but won't do the passenger side. The fact the parts are on back order, the number of people on here that have advised of similar problems and the fact this happened on my 55 roadster all point to a serious issue here that BMW needs to address
Rattly tailgate - fittings were tightened - seems to have done the trick
Rattly engine at idle, clutch out, warm engine - I was told not to worry - this was symptomatic of the engine and "people pay thirty grand to hear that noise sir"
Squeaky windows, especially when warm - a "special fluid" was applied and the squeak has gone away
Hissing noise from radio speakers when radio is switched off - a replacement radio will be ordered and fitted under warranty
Hopefully that's all!
