My new 420d Gran Coupe CBM with 441 ferric grey - RWD

Strange big gap on front wheel, don't know why...
But all the rest is great.

That's what I was gonna say. Definitely doesn't look right.

If he is in Europe he cannot tint the front side windows.

I've checked. No blocks. I do not know why. The car is RWD with M Adaptive suspension. I will post photo of front spring tomorrow.

After all, it was shipping block. Removed after 3500km.
This dealers today are totally unprofessional.
BMW should not put them any more, because they do not have convenient dealership network.

Glad you got it figured out.
edit: Fine looking car!

That shipping blocks are big issue and they are complete BMW fault.
Because BMW assume that all theirs dealers are professional and intelligent. But they are not. Shipping blocks are well hidden on front wheels and there were many cases that they were forgotten on the car. Shipping block must be well marked with some yellow or red pull-out strip. To be visible and clear. I was 3 times in service to figure out what is going on and drove 3500km with blocks. It is unacceptable.

Beek · 11-26-2016, 08:00 PM

I agree comepletely, if some of us can figure it out from pictures on the web they darn sure should have been able to spot it while they had the car.

Tommy_hf · 11-27-2016, 09:43 AM

any pics of how you car settled after removing the blocks?

Sure, I will post tommorow. The gap is just right now and the ride is great too.

Tommy_hf · 11-29-2016, 03:06 PM

Mostly curious about wheel gap on non adaptive m suspension

mike@x-ph.com · 11-30-2016, 07:17 PM

Congrats OP!

TheRealEssad · 11-30-2016, 09:28 PM

Congrats!

Great car, looks almost the same as mine.

I was wondering about one thing. How come that your nav interface looks different than mine. I just got my car a few weeks. You have a more recent version of the iDrive software?

I'm waiting for some good weather to picture the car again. The gap is much better now and the car ride is really supreme

One note, my suspension Is M adaptive...
