CSL Sub-frame cracks

[_Nathan_]

My floor had cracked in my CSL.

The fact that loads of people on here have had to have it done on cars built in 2003 should supersede any TIS document...

iv just recently entered the CSL world and im aware of the issues with the subframe but what are the tell tell noises coming from the rear of the car ?
or is it somthing you just need to give to the dealer to see if they can see ?

i had no symptoms but some have tapping ir creakiing noises from the rear

cracks mainly start in two locations in hard to see points under car near two if the subframe mounting locations

if bad they appear in the boot so strip out boot and have a good look at the floor first

I haven't read the whole thread so sorry if im going over old ground but im guessing this is covered under Warranty if you have the Fully comp' insurance with BMW?

Its covered in the "car not fit for purpose so we will repair it for free so you don't slag us off to the world" section of bmw's terms and conditions ( car must be under 10 years old tho apparently)

And I would get BMW to check it before you fit Intrax.
