I think the only reason it would be refused on CsL is

1. Mods affecting area (suspension or diff a/m)
2. Bad dealer who doesn't know what to ask BMw
3. No bad enough crack (yet)

I like the not bad enough cracks bit!

Well done mate

I shall be inspecting after completetion! Now what are your thoughts on polybush subframe mounts as i read that part of the cause of this failure is down to to much load over a small area! ie the insert in the subframe mountings are relatively small about 20mm as opposed to the uprated bushes which have an overall diameter face mount of around 80mm.
P.S Cheers for the support in these testing times lol

I did this to mine a few months ago, along with 3.91 gears!

Got the kit here, http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-91...ement-kit.aspx

And the shop took some photos for me, enjoy!

The Shop that did the work.
