If it helps anyone, I have a 5 Page copy of the original BMW memo to Dealerships re: the Subframe Fix.
(From the date of the internal memo this fault was know about as early as December 03)

Diagnosis, and methodology for the fix, Part No's of those parts to be used and the various associated Job No's. under which the necessary works are to be carried out.

To large to post on here. If anyone would like a copy PM me your email and it's as good as in the post.

Alternatively you go to Elms where by all accounts you shouldn't have any problems.
Hope this helps:thumbs:

Here is a pic of the cracks found on mine:



Also when replacing the diff, fit the revised rear diff bolts, they have more of a shoulder & should reduce any clunk/movement:

Elms, obviously don't want any comebacks :hahaha:

No cracks found by Sytner when the diff was out on mine :thumbs:

Cant help thinking i should get Elms to double check it and if no cracks found get the precautionary work booked in.
