F55/F56 When to consider my 2015 F56 a lemon?

apparently all the other 2DR base models at the dealer had this issue which is why they didn't want to put me in the same model. They said that there will probably be a service bulletin to fix it in the future. I was more than patient with them and I'm glad it worked out in the end.

I'm glad they were able to help you out, but I really wouldn't consider your car a lemon. Sadly it seems Mini still does not have their quality issues sorted out on these 3rd generation cars.
All of these suspension, steering, and drivetrains creaks, clunks, groans, etc may be common among the F series cars, but that doesn't make it normal or ok. They have a lot of issues with these vehicles and not a lot of solutions.

It was more than just noises it was the whole history with the car in total since November. Steering module was replaced, control arm bushings, all struts/shocks, drivers mirror. The car also left me stranded in the rain for two hours because the passenger window refused to roll up. The noise was coming from the driver side front and was a rattling/squeaking/popping noise. Mostly it occurred while turning left. Noise also occurred over rough pavement in a straight line. The noise was much worse after the car was returned to me after being with the dealer for almost a month (although the ride quality actually improved - the noise was worse than ever). Also, Bluetooth refused to work when I got the car back, and a new issue developed on the highway when letting my food off the accelerator the car makes a loud scraping noise for a second or two.
These issue led me to demand a replacement. I had no faith in the car whatsoever anymore.
