Yes!!
I am very annoyed with my steering wheel having 'knocking' noise going over bumpy surface, even more annoyed when the dealer FM Autohous in KK telling me they can't fix it and waiting for BMW Germany to supply parts to here with no given time frame. Problem started when the car only done less than 3000km.

The other quibble is the infotainment system does not display Asian texts, you get boxes instead. Other markets like HongKong, Taiwan displays the text with no problem, so its not like its not available. I presume the Malaysian infotaiment specs are 'European' as 'Italian', 'German', 'French' are selectable, and I have no idea why BMW Malaysia market select 'European' specs, how many people here use Germans or French? isn't it more logical to package same languages as the HK and Taiwan specs? This day and age, I feel this is unacceptable, with Koreans and Japanese cars displaying multiple languages with no problems, Mercs can display Asian text with no issues.

Last week I drove my brothers brand new 328 Msport. The car is madly powerful. However i was disappointing with steering feel and feedback. There was no feel,just very light. Sorry but it felt like my Vios!

Poor soundproofing
Knocking steering sounds
Rear suspension noise
Crap sound system
Some rattles from seatbelt area


Handling won't be as good as E90 but that's ok for city driving
I'm at 11,000 km

So handling is not that good. I heard the rear noise too. My brother also not sure, as the car is new to him. The SC told him it the due to run flat tyres. Coulc that be the case?

No knocking sound from steering. Not sure about the issues you mentioned,but will check it out.

Also, rusty seats, try running your fingers under your front seats, you will find a lot of rust.
