Anyone know the trunk of F30 only have ONE cylinder arm?

nonstop · 11-27-2013, 05:36 AM

Just found this on my Oct 2012 made F30 328i, because I realized that the gap between the trunk and body doesn't balance...the left side is a little bit downward...

Very disappointed that BMW made this kind of "weight saving" tricks....

I'm thinking compose a letter to BMW AG for this issue.

It's an alignment issue, not because there's a single cylinder. Get off your soapbox and on the phone with your dealer to schedule an appointment.

Had to go check and my trunk is level.

I've set fire to my car just to be on the safe side.

But two balls are best.....just like two arms. I have two balls, and I think my trunk has two cylinder arms (..although I don't quite understand what the OP is talking about when he refers to them).

My trunk is level but my balls are not.

Mine aren't level,
but they are sterile.
Intercourse without peril,

Shooting blanks? That doesn't seem productive at all!

On the other hand, my shooting is very productive...even said to be reproductive.

I can still pull the trigger and eject a casing, I just don't have a bullet to hit the target. Fine by me. Saves me money on ammo and targets.

You are sniping from a distance......that scope has a long zoom! LOL!

I don't exactly want to face the consequences of shooting, so despite how much I love going in uncovered, I sometimes do cover my rifle before I shoot.

I hope you haven't see a 3GT lately...is that why you can't fire!?!
