1. TPMS malfunction comes and goes (doesn't matter if I add air or do nothing.

2. Adaptive headlight warning comes and goes.

3. Loose headlight washer

4. Broken vent slide/adjuster

5. Hood plastic intake vent not lying flat (my old 08 ha dthis issue as well, heat from the Florida sun distorted the plastic clip maybe?)

6. Occasional backfire at high rpms

7. Occasional clunk when starting (from diff)

8. metallic clanking sound with top up and driving over rough pavement. My 08' did not make this noise and it drives me crazy. Could be due to 19" wheels being stiffer? (my 08 had 18s).

I am sure I will get the "we could not replicate" from the dealer.

Driving a 13' 328i twin turbo four. Its a decent car and very peppy in sport mode. The 6.5 inch no nav screen is a major tease. Huge boot. Auto start stop is a joke, it coughs everytime on restart.
Not really issues since your warranty is covering most of them.

I can say that the TPMS will still malfunction even with the new ones. I had brand new ones installed before my car was shipped over to Maine and when I drove in the extreme cold -20+ degrees it would malfunction. Maybe 4 times in 4 months. Now that the heat is back, nada zero. I am assuming the extreme cold was giving them issues.
