2020 C43 Sedan - Worst Car I've Ever Owned
#26
Yeah my sister ended up not liking her 2021 440i. I drove it, beautiful car for the most part! Hate the super touchy brakes, you cant brake smoothly. Gets annoying as heck. That's her biggest complaint. Also the interior was nice but felt dated for some reason? Interior trim quality has fell a bit, the real wood looks different now, like an odd plastic effect of some sort. The sound the car makes is uninspiring unfortunately the ride quality is ok, but with the upgraded wheels it's stiff and bumpy.
As far as opinion the new front grille is ugly. In person and in pictures. Word is that they will be moving on from that grille at next facelift. Thank god.

I doubt BMW is moving away from the grille, the new I4 and IX will both have those Grilles. I personally have nothing against them, I think the car is beautiful, especially in black.

I am sorry you have had so many issues. I have had zero issues with my 2020 C43 Coupe including no rattles. Do you have a sedan, coupe, cab or wagon? What factory was it out of? I have read about issues with some sedans out of Alabama but very few or none on the coupe built in Bremen.

I too have this humming / buzzing noise coming from the center console of the car now. Pretty annoying and I'd be extra mad on a new car.
I don't know what triggered it but it just started up out of nowhere after 2 years of ownership. May take it to the dealership but it normally comes and goes...I just drown it out with music when it does occur. If you find out how they fixed it or what they say, can you let me know too?
Thanks!

Hmmm, In that case could it just be the sound of the electrical current? It could become a high pitch noise at times too I believe. Unless that buzzing noise is different to everyone else?

Been driving different cars for about 20 years, total of 2 cracked rims and both of them were on this C43. And some of the cars I have owned had harsher suspension. Also want to mention the garbage *** transmission since OP did not. I know I sound like a spoiled douche because 99% of people can only dream about the kind of cars we are able to own but I can't wait to get rid of this piece of junk.

it is amazing how at some point we just accept something and learn to deal with it. Yesterday I got the famous dry hump on eco (I know, who the hell drives a C43 on eco).

Have had my C43 for 7 months and done barely 1500 miles, and two cracked wheels already
