Elms subframe crack
 

My first contact with Elms today, spoke to Emma. Very impressed, I called and asked for Emma or Gareth, they replied 'do you have a CSL' straight away!

Car is going there for confirmation/photos of the cracked floor.

After the car being mistreated by one dealer it's going to be nice to get it pampered and looked after by Elms!

Anyone know at what mileages CSLs develop cracks or does it just depend on how is driven ?

Could be anytime.

Mine was going in to Elms this weekend for its subframe, delayed a week as the bodyshop is max'd out and running behind.

Anyone with a CSL who hasn't had their subframe checked recently or is waiting till it gets serviced next should get in to a BMW dealer soon as the 10yr window for goodwill repairs will be running out for "some" cars this year. (Think its 12yrs for 04 cars ??)

I'd get it checked sooner rather than later.

The repair is NOT done under the corrosion warranty or any extended warranty, but BMW Goodwill, meaning BMW could stop free repairs (or change the qualifying criteria) at anytime they feel like it.

that may be true but the fact they choose to do it under goodwill doesnt change the fact that 12 year bodywork warranty will cover it..........i gather your must be 2003

Mine was repaired last November on around 67500 miles

Mine was repaired two weeks ago at Elms, excellent service. There is a waiting list for the subframe crack fix...

join the queue, the earliest elms can get cesil in for subframe repair is 3rd week in april, which is cutting it fine for munchen. MOT fail until its done!!

It's age related, not mileage. :)
