GD MF-ING BMW!
Okay peeps, it has been a mere six months since I last posted about my dissatisfaction with my (once) brand new BMW. Since then, that fucking car has been in the shop three more times for serious problems; alternator, broken door hinge, and now I seem to have some issue with the exhaust system; a very noticeable whistle and flapping sound is coming from under the hood, and so now I have to go back AGAIN to figure out what the problem is.
That visit to BMW service will mark the twenty first visit to the repair shop in 2 years 11 months of car ownership. I have written to BMW of North America about this issue; when I bring it in again on Wednesday, I'm going to ask them to drive it off a cliff for me.
The most defective car Consumer Reports ever reviewed was the Yugo, and I think those cars on average did not have as many problems as I've had with my Kraut engineered POC. I am so disgusted, I would never, ever drive another BMW unless they gave me one for free in perpetuity. And even then! Who has time to take their car into the shop every 2 or 3 months? Driving home this evening I was thinking...have I ever gone more than 4 months without having to go into the fucking shop for something? I'm going to have to create a multi-tiered pivot-tabled spreadsheet just to figure this out; I've gone over my paperwork several times, and I have a pretty good idea, but much more analysis needs to be made at this point. And BMW of NA. You don't even want to know what I'm thinking right now... you'd call the police and hire personal security if you did.

Not sure what the statute of limitations is:

I’d say your new noise is part of the intake system, not the exhaust.
Not Mesopotamian; Sumerian. Oh yeah, big difference. "Okay, pretend for a moment that I don't know anything about metallurgy or physics, and just tell me what the hell is going on..."

A noticeable whistle and flapping, huh? Maybe you should skip the BMW dealership and call the Audubon society.

Personally, Lenny, I think it's a sign from God, but don't quote me on that.

if we're wrong, nothing happens, we go to jail, peacefully, we'll enjoy it. but if we're right, and we can stop this thing, Lenny! you will have saved the lives - of millions - of registered voters.
