Hi All
After almost 20yrs of owning BMWs, I recently bought a 2018 Levante V6S. I was close to buying a Ghibli V6S few yrs ago but the dealer was useless so ended up with a 6 series GC - so I had an itch to scratch!
So far I am loving many things about the car exhaust note being the big one!), getting used to the Italianess of the car...
I do however have a few questions / issues and would like to know if they are common issues and if there are easy fixes
Lastly, is there anything I need to watch for on these?
Thanks in advance

- When driving in the wet, there seems to be water ingress coming from the passenger rear from the bottom leaving a slight amount of wetness on the carpet. When parked up in the pouring rain, car is bone dry. I have checked the pano roof, windows and it doesnt seem like there is water coming from there. I have shaken the door after a downpour and there seems to be no water sloshing around in the door so I guess the drains are not blocked. The underlay under the carpets does not seem wet so the water seems to be working through the door seals - is this a known issue as the door seal looks fine to the eye, I have given it a clean to ensure nothing was causing it not to sit flush with the body.
- Driver rear illuminated entry strip doesnt light up, is there a quick way to change the bulb?
- Heater has on a couple of occasions either stuck at max heat or max cold on one side (once Driver side other time Passenger side). It fixes itself after a few cycles of turning the fan on/off or changing from max heat to max cold. Not something I want in the cold with kids in the car
- Suspension on one occasion got itself stuck on the highest position for the whole journey then on turning the car off, it give a message on the info screen saying the suspension cannot be changed (or something along those lines). At next start up, and ever since it works fine!
- Annoying rattle - seems to be coming from passenger front cannot pin point it any more than that. This may just be me as my last few BMWs have been completely rattle and squeak free (I know this is lucky!)
Lastly, is there anything I need to watch for on these?
Thanks in advance
