Noise in the cabin

Have a strange situation….

Filed a complaint to the dealer due to engine noise in the cabin. They found out that my dashboard and windscreen was wrongfully mounted. The windscreen is not even properly glued…

Strange that BMW don't have better QA on their M cars….

Yup. Didn't realize that fully until the car was wrapped in a lighter color….was only able to spot that the dashboard had a bend (see picture)

Apparently yes… the dashboard was fixed yesterday. The windscreen is due tomorrow morning. Took some more pictures today. It is quite clear that something is not right. You can tell the gap by looking at the distance between the glass and the vin number

Boy, dashboard is crooked and the windshield is set to low. The assembly line employees at Spartanburg needs to get their members an optical plan so they can obtain corrective lenses to see what they are doing. Because quality control personnel can't see what they are supposed to see and send a vehicle back for repair.
