Update.

Purchased the car on 8th March 2017. Issues to date:

Headlight Alignment
Defective Head Unit
Defective Boot Shocks
Missing Headlight Cover in Arch Liner
Resprayed Rear Quarter Panel done poorly by OEM Approved Body Shop as requested by me because of an original repair that was done poorly
Front Bumper paint cracked from re-aligning (Offered to re-paint by dealer)
Damaged Driver Control Arm
Damaged Exhaust Heat Shields related to Damaged Driver Control Arm (lower)
Jerky / Hesitant Gear Changes (6 Speed Auto)
Whistling Noise on Deceleration, Grinding / Rumbling Noise on loaded acceleration and cornering
Excessive Fuel Consumption (11L/100km first tank, 9.7L/100km on best tank so far) driving sedately, 80% freeway driving
Pressure Dents on Rear Passenger Door
Overspray on Vehicle (Like Sand Paper on the windscreen)
Wheels refurbished, only the face, not the entire wheel - Vibration at Freeway Speeds
Exhaust Rattle on Startup
Air-conditioner Whine while Operating
Rear Speaker Rattles (Was a paperclip in the speaker)

I was notified today that BMW would be issuing what they call a Puma Application for a brand new gearbox - I mentioned they may as well run an app on the transfer case because its symptoms match what I have read online of a fairly common issue on these cars, my comment was met with silence followed by "there are some stones under the plastic trim maybe its that making your car shake under load".

Total Days Ownership: 23 Days
Total Days in Workshop: 11 Days
Total Mileage: About 800-900km
Warranty Expiration: 31 Days from Now

Am I being unreasonable in requesting the dealership buy this piece of sh*t back?

Mike
