Poor build quality and parts

I purchased a 330Li in 2023, and within 2 months and 1,600 km of driving, both front tyres developed bulges. Had taken BMW Secure insurance; got the tyres replaced by paying around 5K in filing charges. After the 2nd year, around 15K km of suspension travel started causing problems, and the service centre quoted around 2.5 lakhs to replace all the suspensions and denied any warranty coverage. In the third year, the front right suspension is completely gone, and the estimate given is 80K by the service center. They say that these are wear and Tear issues and depend on driving style instead of accepting the poor quality of the parts. Roads are the same for all the other manufacturers, still, for many other cars I have known don't give any problems up to 5 yrs, and suspensions are usually changed after 50-60 K Kms. It's not expected that a car that costs around 75 lacs on the road has such poor build quality and such high maintenance costs, even after taking a service package and other insurances.

A DREAM TO BUY

I have always been A Big Fan Of Bmw, And Also My Dream Car To Ride And Own. Had An Amazing Experience While Driving My Relative's Car. Amazing Performance And Safety. The Comfort Was Also Soothing Even After Long Drive
