Consumer Description

LEFT SIDE OF THE CENTER DASH TRIM CONTINUES TO POP OFF. OCCURS EVERY 4 MONTHS AT $40 A REPAIR. REPAIRED 3 TIMES; ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AND TWICE OUT OF WARRANTY. THE TRIM POPS OUT ON ITS OWN, HOWEVER THE BMW DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO STATE THAT EXCESSIVE FORCE IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. THIS IS NOT A CHARACTERISTIC TO EXPECT ON THIS CLASS OF VEHICLE. AN OWNER SHOULD NOT EXPECT TO MAINTAIN THE DASH TRIM. *TR
