Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Left side mirror glass fell out. While on the highway, the lef side mirror glass fell out. It was held in by a few small dabs of silicone from the factory. Another disappointment courtesy of Bmw, not covered by the warranty. Poor design and shoddy workmanship are the cause of the glass falling out under normal use conditions. The date below is a rough estimate. I do not have the receipt with the replacement date handy at this time. Lack of the left mirror made lane changes less safe.”
