What a bother, it is still rattling over uneven roads! Too many micro plastic components in the F10 a/c vents.2. Yes, vibrating very vigourously on cold start. Noticed that new 3 series also has that problem - didn't have that with my previous older 3 series (e46).3. White smoke, I thought it was just water vapour. OK, maybe not.4. No problems with radio reception, fortunately (unlike previous e46).5. I think our alignment pre-tuned in Germany (only assembled here), and tyres are German tyres made for German roads. A tyre expert friend told me that German tyres are made for left-hand drive roads, where driving is on right lane instead of left. Right lane is slanted towards right to drain off rain water, and therefore tyres and alignment are tuned slightly left-inclined to compensate. With our roads, we usually drive on left-inclined roads, and with left-inclined alignment and left-inclined tyres, that's triple left-inclined, multiplied effect! So, that may explain? Is that also the reason that our local computers cannot tune alignment properly? Any tyre expert out there?</blockquote>
