What other items did they fail to perform during the PDI? UGH!

So for those of you with bouncy cars, get on the floor and look for the blue shipping blocks on the suspension.

You should be extremely pissed. Multiple people and inspection points should have noticed those blocks. Your CA should have done a walk-around looking for remaining packing materials. etc etc.

But yeah, you should be a little mad at yourself for tolerating that for 650 miles.

Are the shipping blocks a new thing to something? I thought I was going crazy with how stiff the car felt. Checked today and I also still had the shipping blocks installed!

Not sure how this seems to be happening a bunch.

This is too many cars with this issue wtf lol. Is this the first time they’ve used these that techs don’t know to look for them? I don’t get it

I don't know about BMW but they definitely aren't a new thing in general. Back when I got my Focus RS there were a bunch of people that also still had their shipping blocks on them that the dealers forgot to remove.

No, shipping blocks are not new.
