This discussion obviously needs a conclusion already
but I just can't help adding another bit. Sorry.

Sure. So am I. No offence.

AFAIK, BMW does work on eliminating "weak points". Some of F20/21's are gone (hopefully): steering squeak, rear rattle in cold weather, cooling system leak - I never experienced these on my 2013 June (well, I'm into my second winter, still worried a bit...). They issue the software and parts upgrades - people say.
Of course it's all from customer feedback. I had my boot door warranty repainted (paint doming) - they noticed it when I came in for oil change and fixed "on their own", though people had to argue for that previously.

A Peugeot cabrio owner once was told by an authorized service they had no means to repair his folding roof. He went to another (same city) and got it fixed no questions asked.
Both approaches we've discussed can work or work not in a particular situation. And the choice certainly depends on one's temper as well.
osvic just seems to lack some patience which is no good every time.
