Yet another case of handleitis in a BMW. Sigh! What made the manufacturers think people enjoy opening their doors with a pile of goo?🙄 #ultimateplasticmachine . . . . #bmw #5series #cheapplastic #doorhandles #germancars #autoshop #autorepair #manandmachine #justkeepdriving (at Hyderabad) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFO-5HRJf6Y/?igshid=rdqqg14rhgll

We found not one, but two plastic cooling system parts leaking out coolant in this BMW. #ultimateplasticmachine . . . . #bmw #coolantleak #cheapplastic #fail #costcutting #moneypit #germancars #theydontmakethemliketheyusedto #mechanic #autoshop #fixingcars #manandmachine #justkeepdriving (at Hyderabad) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDWFDuJpQVm/?igshid=13run1wvla75f

It’s good to question your dealers! A client brought his near-new BMW to us, complaining of a weird noise coming from the central armrest. He had taken it to BMW dealer, who prescribed changing the lower control arms. Needless to say, this wouldn’t have solved his problem at all.🙄 Thankfully, the car owner had his doubts and decided to get a second opinion from us. We verified his complaint with test drives and then proceeded to check the car thoroughly, including the front end of the prop shaft and then the center console. It was when we got to the rear part of the prop shaft that we spotted the culprit: the plastic bracket holding the hand brake had snapped and the cable kept rubbing against the prop shaft wheneever the car was in motion. To be honest, we weren’t surprised. BMW may be a luxury brand but it is notorious for using cheap plastic parts. Disappointing, no doubt!😣 Anyhow, often the simplest solution is the best. We solved the problem with a Zip Tie: both inexpensive and reliable. 😊 No part replacement was needed at all! Moral of the story? Don’t trust your dealer blindly, always do your own research! As ever, we’ll be more than happy to help out with no-bullshit advice if you come to us. . . . . #bmw #cheapplastic #manandmachine #nobs #honestservice #customerfirst #wecare #passiondrivesus #breakingstigmas #disruptors #lovewhatyoudodowhatyoulove #shoplife #fixitdriveit #justkeepdriving (at Madhapur) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Y1-qOJSJt/?igshid=8wxhwfva15d8
