Subframe Poll

[DazBlackCSL]

Mine was on 40/50 k when the cracks appeared and was a while ago, might of been one of the first few to have the work done by BMW.

Total new floor done under warranty, car was standard when it went in :smokin:

Johnny should have the receipts or dates in the history of when it was done, can't remember of the top of my head.

2/3 Ring trips a year
Tracked regularly in 09 not so much after that.
KW's
AP's
SS Race

CSL No 43

1. 63000 miles
2. All stock
3. repair to cracked rear subframe, 15/6/12 by BMW High Wycombe

[s.mac]

New boot floor replaced early 2013. 48,000 ish.

Tank slappers old car, plenty of ring laps
A few track days in my ownership, none since replacement.

Repaired with AP's, rtab limiter kit, AST suspension and titanium exhaust on

The crack was only a few mm but still one had appeared so it needed sorting.

Cslgirl I volunteer to put an xls in google docs this afternoon if thats ok with you.

[cslgirl]

lol! Ooo not great on the xls to be honest, can only manage to =sum stuff!

I think we need more responses from owners - and also car numbers so I can put the data all together

Well the bushes haven't shredded since fitting it was better on track with them but the more you drive the car the better it feels anyway.

Lesa, if you are working on Neil's list of numbers I,m 359

Sorry to go off track, but I wonder how many cars have the dreaded crack, but the person undertaking the inspection does not have the experience to know what to look for, or where to look.

I only say this as I was was shown a very small crack by Gareth and I would have sworn it was just an imperfection.

:smokin: :-D

Just edited the first post, but may be a good idea too to put your CSL number down in case it was a "batch" of them that had the problem?

There was a batch of them Lesa,all E46's,M3s and CSLs eventually.:hahaha:
