Yes steve, i was watching your thread when you had yours done so thought better get my head out of the sand before its too late !

[martin770]

The scary thing is it was given the "all clear" by an indy around 8 months ago, the dealer showed me the cracks and they wernt new !

[Steve B]

At least you've found the issue inside the 10 years..... Imagine getting the all clear and then finding the issue after the 10 year cut off...:banghead::banghead:

Likewise - mine has been in for a week already getting them done. 8 years old and glad it was checked before it's too late...

Same boat,mines in first week in Jan.

Will someone please drive my car for a session on track because I could do with some cracks asap :-(

[Andyk]

Thats good news that it's free Martin........Worry about my M3 as its over 10 years old this year so would not be free for me....NOt issues at the moment though.

I thought we concluded the 10 years thing wasn't actually backed up by anything written by BMW confirming that's the case ?

I don't think anyone with an E46 has had it done for free over the 10 year period,some over this time or with missing stamps have been asked to contribute towards the repair.

I'm only going by what I was told by the body shop that did mine.... They had a car 10 days over the 10 years and it was declined

I know of a person who had to pay all for a car over 10 years...
