I know it may go against the grain for you, but care to elaborate a little further using your own words ?

I assume no more can be said to incriminate - dealer paid but cause could have been something else - like a dyno for example???
For a person spitting blood, he went very quiet. |

Plenty more to say, if the fault was a manufacturing defect, or a safety issue.
However, the fact that you aren't saying anything else suggests that this isn't the case. We'll assume either the dyno place paid, or BMW gave in. |

no rust on the car mate apart from its relevant age wear and tear as expected ,BMW fully inspected the car , the flash on the camera showed all the dirt up ,when on the dealers ramps car looked fine thanks.
I also have a fully signed document from BMW to say that the car is in perfect order and no previous accidents or misuse etc.

I want to know if there is a defect with the M3 suspension, as there are with the cracked alloys!...because clearly this is a real safety issue....and should go public if there is a defect with the parts....

My money is on there NOT being an inherent defect..........
I think this thread should be closed as the member would want.

Show Mikey some respect or I will get some of the girls out. Then it will get closed pretty quickly.

To be fair though, the original thread did generate quite a bit of discussion and speculation and that speculation will still remain if Mikey doesnt tell us what "may" have most likely caused the damage.
If it was previous damage, then I guess a lot of you can rest easy. If its due to a particular strap down, I guess a fair few of you should be having safety inspections. If its completely unrelated to either then everyone takes the same risk and no further action is required. |
