Engine question

[azrael]

The same insulation that the normal M3 comes with?

Sure the car hasn't been crashed and had a new bonnet? </runs>

Hmm didn't think about that

I am really surprised that a BMW dealer can claim that the bonnet insulation can cause engine wear.
That's probably the most ridiculous thing I ever heard about a car issue.

Agreed !

Not standard bonnet insulation, and i know its never been crash/damaged :thumbs:

Well i'm still waiting for the rocker arms to turn up, the dealer tell me it could be 1 month or it could be 3 months and they don't know yet! :bigcry: They've hired me a car until they turn up whch is ok (120d M sport) but the cost to BMW must be massive, not that i'm too concerned about this.

I'm used to these part supply problems with small companies such as Caterham but would have expected better from BMW
