floor bump in 330e?

Lviv777 · 10-16-2020, 10:21 PM

Hello, I just picked up my new 330e, and I noticed there a buldge/ bump in the middle of the passenger seat floor. Is it normal? It seems like one sharp point.

That seems odd but doesn't mean it's not by design 💁🏻*♂️. That would bother me too.

very odd, I see now way how it would happen. But it bothers a lot.

Its a very sharp buldge, seems right there the exhaust goes under the car. I'm going to take it to the dealer tomorrow.

Perhaps a picture would help?

Sounds like the car has been jacked up on the floor pan and not the jacking point, I have seen this in my workshop on a few cars over the years where people not having a clue when replacing a wheel with the spare after a tyre issue have done it.

Take a look on the underside...

Dealer, had no idea what it was. I pushed it back in myself. However the carpeting still had a smaller bump. Scheduled an appointment for monday

Nothing visible underneath. The bump seems to be opposite of where the exhaust is underneath. However everything underneath is perfect.

Only way to find out is to see someone else's same vehicle.

Otherwise no point in going back and forth if no visible damage is there.

Quick update. While its not fixed completely, I was told it was the issue with carpeting and padding where it became loose, and popped up like that, on one of the clips holding it in. Pushed it back in and was told to place something heavy on it for it to even out over a few days.
