Go in to the dealership to get some tires replaced

All on a 3 month old car.

At least they gave me a brand new loaner with only 4 miles on it. I've put 150 on it so far and still have it until Tuesday.
 
Why does a 3 month old car need tires? Why does a 3 month old car need injectors? Better yet, what kind of car needs these things?
 
That seems very shady on a 3 month old car...

Surely any injector work etc. should be done under warranty as well.
 
I messed up both of my driver's side tires hitting a pothole. Fortunately, I bought rim and tire insurance so the dealer is replacing them free of charge. My radio refuses to turn on once in a while so I'm having them replace it and while I was there, I wanted them to look at my rough idle which dips every so often. Apparently, there is something wrong with the fuel injectors so they are replacing them under warranty.

DeviousTrap, I haven't had any long cranks, only the weird idle so hopefully the HPFP is ok.

It is unacceptable that a new car has so many issues but what can you do? There are more important things to be upset over. Hopefully, things will turn out ok.

I never heard of the area in bold!
 
Yup.

They seem to offer them for BMWs. I took it because a lot of other people on the BMW forums recommended it. Cost me $750 for 5 years. No deductible. I also got dent repair insurance too. $500 for 5 years as well. Already got a dent a month ago :|

Wow! It was the HPFP. I didn't think it would happen to an LCI E90 but I guess they still haven't figured out how to get them to work right.

I have to give props to the dealership though. They were great and a pleasure to deal with.

It just saved me $950 so I am already ahead after 3 months.

3 months and radio issues and rough idle already? I'd expect more from a used Kia to be honest!

That's what I was saying. How many Kias have you heard of where the radio doesn't work. My stereo wouldn't even turn on. I bought the upgraded stereo and there is supposedly a software glitch with it. I'm not the only one with this problem.

Its a European car. They are nice to drive but as soon as the warranty runs out... RUN!!!

BMW has awesome bumper to bumper for a while, perhaps it's so that they don't piss off all their new buyers. But yeah, I'd not want to own one used.

 
I was going to get another Infiniti (had a G35 sedan) but I could not find one with a stick. BMW had a great financing program (0.9%) and sold their cars right above invoice so I bought the car. The fact that it's a turbo and a BMW along with the problems I have had already makes me wonder if I made a good decision.

Whenever I am driving it, I feel like I did though 😀
