Weird water issues around M340i side mirrors
Has anyone noticed that water seems to circulate / collect on the side mirrors and in the corner between the mirrors and window? It seems to dissipate the longer I drive, but for the first few minutes the water just swirls around this area and on the mirror making it hard to see. It's like is smears instead of beads off... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Must of been a lazy worker assembling your car that day, only problem most people have is the rear deck rattling and I think it has to do with the new design there is a plastic vent that rattled against the rear window just put some foam, felt tape between it and the window

That leakage, I haven't seen. And have driven a lot in the rain and also high speed.
But the strange behavior around the mirrors got my attention too. Especially because wiper fluid tracks across the whole car this way...

The main takeaway for all people to understand is: 1. High volume/High turnover dealerships and tint installers will not take their time and give your car the TLC you think it deserves. Your car is only factory assembled to perfect spec once, and every repair that requires reassembly takes it further from that spec.... especially rush jobs from high volume dealerships! 2. Consider investing in the basic tools required to fix your own minor problems so you can take all the time you need and do proper research. For example, I fixed the front speaker rattle and rear trunk trim rattle on my own with minimal time and expense and those have been my only issues. 3. If you are out of warranty or just want the job done right, find an independent certified mechanic with good reviews. They do everything they can to avoid bad reviews which means doing the job right the first time. 4. Avoid being the stereotypical “my car is a lemon, everything is wrong” type of person. I’ve seen several posts on this forum where people don’t understand the inherent functionality of the car and baselessly complain to their dealer. You keep taking it to the dealership for phantom issues and they’ll keep messing with your car... finding nothing wrong but breaking other things in the process. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy. |

Maverick? Life coach? Haha, no man, it's just plain old fashioned advice for whiny babies like yourself who love to find minor and baseless problems with their cars. So here's #6 for you: If you don't like someone's advice, don't take it! Heck, you even have a flat tire and rock damage on your list of complaints with the car. I can't take you seriously.

Again- Didn't solicit advice- you did however voluntarily seek me out to offer it. Read carefully Keyboard Tough Guy- my flat tire, windshield and rock damage are noted as separate driver related incidents, not as grievances concerning vehicle quality. This entire platform is utilized largely for the purpose of sharing stories and/or seeking support related to servicing, maintenance, and yes - the consumer experience. If a little negativity or criticism distresses you - sack up and try not to let it get to you. |

No way it could be as bad as AUDI who is the absolute worst.
I caught the guy who brought my loaner to me smoking in my wifes $75,000 SUV!!! We got the car back from them several times with more problems than we had when we went in. One of the times we had a huge ass scratch the entire way down the car. The guy said oh that must have happened when they parked the car...they buffed it out and the scratch came back a week later and a year later I still have the huge scratch the entire way down my car. A switch on the Windows does not work and they kept giving me excuses saying they tried this and tried that...never fixed in in 6 years until I finally took it to a different dealership who fixed if first try. I absolutely HATE AUDI!!! NEVER AGAIN!! Now I am Yelling lol!!! |
