2 days later, his wiper blades accidently closed on on this windscreen while washing his car and they cracked it!!

hm...i dont think bmw quality is as good as it used to be.

lol that's just unlucky though, not a quality issue.

a wiper arm closing on the windscreen shouldnt really crack it...quality issue..glass too thin perhaps


you should have seen the plastic trims under the front seat area..i held them in my hand and they felt like cheap chinese toys...even the astra does not have trims like that!

i have driven a hyundai and it was a great little car!! my mate had an excel and we used to muck around with it all the time. they are a pretty good peice of kit for what you spend. they have a teachable ecu as well. so it will maximise economy on long runs but when around town will maximise power if you fang it. also they go forever!! i have seen over 300000km on one. alot of couriers use them and they dont exactly have an easy life.

im stoked that hyundai has done this with the i30. pure plagarism but good on em.

yeh ...one of my mates bought a brand new series 1 BMW and he had to have some plastic trims under the seat changed under warranty as they broke after moving the seat too much forward on delivery day!!

ROFL i know exactly what trims you're talking about, not a great design there!!!

However dropping a wiper arm, with enough force, will crack a windscreen!!

The glass used isn't thin at all but not much can stop a wiper arm with alot of tension cracking the screen!!

BMW quality is very high, but with all car makes, there are a few flaws here and there!!!

Yeah of course a wiper arm is gonna crack the screen...it's glass after all.....a crystalline structured material

hehe...I guess you guys might be right re wiper arms...but it happened to my other car lots of times and windscreen never broke...

but i must admit.leather is stunning in there, dash looks good, no vibration, paint looks very thick,engine sounds great... bmw do make good cars.

nevertheless, I still think for the price, the astra is great! ive been playing around with my remote window shutting lately
