325Coupe

I am simply looking for BMW to acknowledge that this is not the sort of quality (or lack of) one should expect from purchasing one their new vehicles, if it is what I should expect of them, then clearly their brand values and quality parameters have changed from previous cars purchased, and that my expectations should have been reset prior to purchasing a lesser quality vehicle, at which point I wouldnt have bothered with the purchase. As the dealer said to me, after purchase, BMW UK have been aware of this for some time, in writing!!

Hi Gav, I have written to BMW online Customer Services this evening, so lets wait and see what their response is. Will keep you all posted.

James How old is it? I got a new 325 coupe and its doing exact same thing, you keep slamming it and it takes quite a few shots.

I meant to add the vehicle is 3 months old

I have recently purchased a brand new 325 Coupe Msport, it has 1700 miles on the clock. The wheel hubs all round the car are badly rusted already. I have washed and valeted the car by hand using BMW seal and protect products. This is a sad state of affairs for a £40k car, is anyone else having the same issue?. The dealer advised this is typical of the hub on this model and he said BMW wouldn't consider it a product fault. He did say he would ask BMW if they would consider spraying them, but to my mind, this cures the symptom, not necessarily the disease. I have had 5 BMW's in my life, I had the 530 M Sport prior to this and did not get one bit of rust (70k miles and 5 years old) on the Hub. Picture attached, this is what all 4 hubs look like, I expected a BMW to look prestigious, part of the experience of owning a BMW is how it looks, particularly when you pay for Msport alloys, now it looks very tatty when you look at the wheels. Any ideas, much appreciated.
