Does this bother any other F32 owners?

Mojave Spirit · 07-07-2014, 07:43 PM

So I got my 435 a week ago and one thing irks me (other than the mirror turn signal at night)..The bottom of the windows on the front windows and the rear windows don't match up on the inside. The back window is like a inch higher than the front making it feel disjointed. I'm terrible at describing things so here's a pic (not my car).

I'm really not OCD enough to be torn apart by it. It just looks so weird to me. I'd love to hear the explanation of it from the engineers, though I bet it has something to do with the seatbelt butler.

It's an F32. The back seat isn't really supposed to be used.

BEAR-AvHistory · 07-07-2014, 09:09 PM

It has a back seat?

OC40 · 07-07-2014, 09:36 PM

I would be more upset about that seatbelt butler. I had an F32 MSport loaner for a week. I wanted to rip it off and throw it out of the window.

Same here and I love the butler. Friends who have seen it have complemented it too.

Blubaron79 · 07-08-2014, 08:53 AM

It's not different on the outside; so who cares?

TurboSpecC · 07-08-2014, 09:23 AM

Was the same on the E92.

MickAv8r · 07-08-2014, 10:09 AM

Really? this is a problem?

FC4 · 07-08-2014, 10:29 AM

Now that it's mentioned...I can't stand it. I will head to the dealer later to have them buy back the car. In the mean time, I'm writing BMWNA. This is unacceptable.

Never noticed it before. Not a problem for me.

Now I know the real reason they changed to this 4 series naming convention. You guys get butlers while is lowly 3 series owners have no servants!

Wasnt there a thread out there where BMW was buying back cars from people who didnt like them due to squeaks and trim parts not fitting right? I heard they had to sign an agreement to never buy another BMW again. hahaha

Dereks435Coupe · 07-08-2014, 05:58 PM

Never noticed that before. But then again it's hard to see that from this angle

When you're stopped, turn your head to right a little over 90 degrees. You'll witness the embarrassment to automotive design OP has highlighted.

I just got back from the dealer. They said there is nothing that can be done and there is nothing wrong with the car, but I demanded to speak with the most senior SA. He assured me the car was designed this way, however I'm still making a case for BMW to buy back my car plus punitive damages. Unacceptable.

sr5959 · 07-08-2014, 06:07 PM

I'm willing to buy that car off the owner just as a favor, but I want a massive discount as it has that horrific defect!
