1. Scape on dash trim panel noted on delivery (looks like it was banged by something during install - how'd this get past QC?), requested replacement 3 times - no action to date.
2. At 1 week old while driving, service engine fault -significanlty reduced power. Dealer found loose hose and clamp in intake system - simple fix but at dealer for 2 days to diagnose and repair.
3. At 2 weeks while driving engine died - wouldn't restart - towed to dealer. After 10 days of dealer trial and error diagnostic guided by BMW tech support and waiting on sequential replacement parts to arrive - needed new computer shipped from Germany. Service tech found loose main ground which likely shorted computer.
As result we have zero confidence in reliability of car - what else is lurking - not sure we'll keep it.
