Subframe Elms

[thrashermax]

My first experience of Elms yesterday... Wow, Emma and Gareth, bloody brilliant service... even if it was to confirm my floor was cracked...

I understand why Bounce travels so far now.

You can tell they love the CSL. It's the only place other than Munich that I will take any BMW.

So the 200 mile round trip was worth it.

Thank you Gareth, Emma and big thank you to CSL register for bringing them to my attention.

craig dont fall fowl of the MOT. if you're subframe is cracked you wont get a ticket. and you'll have to pay a full retest fee as the repair will not be done in the 10 day time limit.
No MOT no insurance. i am assuming you're still going to munchen

i am in this predicament. elms have advised me there's a 4-6 week waiting list for subframe repair.
My scheduled repair is for 3rd week in april. if this falls through it wont happen until 20 May...which is as you know the most important week of the year for some of us!!
No repair no munich!!

You guys that have had subframes checked and repaired. Have you had to get it inspected then wait a good few weeks to get the repair done?

I want to get mine inspected by elms in June, problem is im only home for 3 weeks then back overseas.

Thats assuming it needs repairing obviously.

Car finally dropped off at Bedford Elms, greeted by friendly reception, sent off in new 320 sport... the 100 mile drive up was great, listening to the CSL musical notes... the drive back... comfortable... efficient... no fun...

Car will be in there for 3 weeks... I miss it already being my daily driver... on 94,000 miles now...

Collected car on Saturday, full valet done... Car looks great. I was so excited picking her up after being without her for 4 weeks.. back to using her everyday now. Service from Bedford Elms was first class, although they removed my original dealer sticker and placed an Elms one there!

My car should be sorted now, head gasket done, subframe done... all I need to do is break the 100k mileage barrier!
