Very bad repair job - advice needed
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Long story short, I am extremely unsatisfied with the repair because the rocker panel, wheel arch and A-pillar speakers are ALL misaligned. The repair mainly happened on the passenger side so I am able to compare the driver side with passenger side and the difference is very noticeable. I also noticed that BOTH the driver and passenger side A-pillar speakers now have a big gap beneath them, which was not the case before the repair. I have no idea why they need to touch the driver side speaker! I am not sure what's the best way to have it fixed right now -- I will contact the dealer for sure but I'm having a hard time trusting the same shop to perform the work for me again. The shittiness of the job is just unbelievable to me - are my expectations too high? Last edited by kleo; 05-03-2019 at 08:07 PM.. |

I'd agree, that's unacceptable and very bad. I'd take it back and give them one chance to make it right. After that, the gloves would be off.
Good luck!

Unacceptable. Your pictures make clear the poor workmanship; you are not being unreasonable. I would go back to the dealer and express your dissatisfaction.

Wow that is crazy, last time I have seen things like that misaligned it was due to bent frame rail on a truck!!!! You said a fend crack needed to be fixed??? Do you have more details about the damage and repairs? That looks to be more repair work than a fender fix. Do you have a pic of the damage they were fixing?

I can tell you from experience with the tweeter speaker cover, that the top clip is broken, my dealer messed mine up twice...I ordered ones online myself and did a self install which brought them back to original condition...have them order you new ones, coz I promise that can't be fixed... as far as the other parts, they really oughta take a second look and fix that crap or find a new authorized bodyshop! Sorry and best of luck

You can't order just the clip, you order the whole tweeter speaker cover and install it, super easy to do, not sure what the service people were doing while installing them to f#%k it up twice... |

Thanks everyone for letting me know that I'm not crazy. To be fair, the dealer has been pleasant to work with, I am mainly blaming the bodyshop for the crappy work this time. I'll take the car to the dealer tomorrow.
