Cracked subframe...
Are you aware of this problem?
last week I collected my CSL from ELS Cambridge after installing a new clutch and flywheel. An expensive job but i guess worthwhile after 50K miles.... Gareth from ELMS inspected the car and discover a crack in the subframe underneath the boot. Apparently this has been a common problem that can fixed under the BMW 10 years warranty paid by BMW GB. ELMS have collected evidence of the crack (pictures) and sent them to the headquarter to get the authorisation to carry out the work under warranty. Apparently is a big job that require a special deliver from BMW and can take up to two weeks to repair. I just hope the work will be carry out under warranty otherwise i suspect will be seriously expensive.  Any experience with this before? should I be worried? I read that some crack can be rectified bu using a special foam...
