F11 Boot scuff plates.

Anyone else got problems with the scuff plates in the boot of the F11? Mine have become detached
which is not what I would expect from a car of this supposed quality. I wouldn't mind so much if I had caused it putting stuff in the boot, but Ive not used the boot yet.

Yes mine did as well now evostik ed no chance of that happening again.

Did puzzle me at the time because they make a right good rattle when become detached.

Cannot say I was particularly bothered by it, certainly not worth a trip to the dealers.

Mine did that. BMW replaced both of them under warranty.

Will probably just happen again of course But it's lasted longer this time anyway.

I have an appointment with the dealer to sort it out, but I found it strange that they wanted the car for the day and said that both the Mechanical and Body Shop departments would have a look at the problem. I assumed a bit of industrial strengthen adhesive would of sufficed. Maybe they know something we don't?

It's a warranty job and BMW UK will be getting billed by the hour by the dealer.

Manufacturers normally have a standard time allowance for any job, and that is what the dealer is allowed to charge. The dealer can't drag out a warranty repair to make more money from it.
