06 Quality Control Issues
I was wondering if anyone else found some quality control issues on their brand new MINI's. I found several QC issues on my 06 after I got it home that really bugged me. Made me wonder if the rush to beat the production record for 2005 made the workers overlook some things. At first I was not going to say anything because I like the car so much but I have contacted my dealer about them and they said they will look at them at the first service. Here they are:
Several deep scratches in rear bumper.
Actual fingerprints from the factory in the paint on the boot (handled before dry?).
A spot in the paint about 2" x 1/2" by the fresh air intake that was buffed through the clear coat and is dull in appearance.
The bonnet would not latch due to a mis-aligned latching mechanism that I had to adjust myself to work right.
None of these are huge in themselves but they should not be there on a "premium" vehicle.
