Scotty540 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 As I said I can't go into details. If they did mine they might do someone else's.... If they didn't fix it I'd have done it myself anyway. It's just nice they have as its a new floor, brake lines, brake fluid and its warranted for 3 years too which will give the next owner peace of mind if I sell it. The thread asks for peoples success stories, so I posted it. If you don't like the way I got it fixed its not my issue and it doesn't make me a "knob". I just used what I could to my advantage as I'm sure other people would too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mit Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Well... Getting it fixed for free with warranty and stuff is great. That would be full of win *if* you told people how. Just coming on here and showing off that your special contact sorted you out makes you look like a knob. Nobody said you are actually a knob. Just that the way you post makes you look like one. Kind of like if you went up to some parents whose son had just died and waved a photo of your kid in their face saying "check out my kid, isn't he so amazing?" Failing to realise that and saying you couldn't care less actually does make you a knob though.

RoryW Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I can provide evidence it's been done if you want? It was done via Woods in Hook, Hampshire. To be fair you did come across as a knob, saying "99 and repaired for free" is hardly help or constructive towards any part of this thread, go buy a pint and tell the chap sat next to you, I'm sure he'll be interested. I got a free paint repair because I know the owner of Apollo Motorgroup but it hardly gives me the need to fap one out on a forum like yourself.

Scotty540 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Lol. I had the car done by BMW for free because I have contacts at BMW. End of, I can't get it done for other people unfortunately, if I could I would. You can think i'm a knob all you like, but it really doesn't bother me.

RoryW Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Don't think anyone has asked you to get theirs done, stop flattering yourself chap, seriously I don't think anyone is overly bothered but as per usual but you insist on going on again and again. You've mentioned several times the same thing just worded differently. Nothing constructive as per usual, just drivel and trolling. It's fine though cause your cracks are sorted and you can forget about this thread maybe? But since I'm waiting for a meeting still, I shall check in once again later to pass my boredom quicker. Maybe you're special so here's a little kiss X Edited May 29, 2012 by RoryW Blair, Mengwalton, Wash and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee323ci Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Got my car back a week ago .......1999 323ci. Rear subframe (rear left) was cracked last MOT but the tester didnt see it so i didnt mention it. Drove it for about 7000 miles and it totally ripped right through. My old pal was a long term BMW tech and has his own place ....... he knew exactly what needed to be done (i knew what was involved through a little research on the net so i tested him!) and it cost £480. Have to say the car does feel a lot tighter and i'm glad i made a further investment in the 80k miler. Wish i knew someone mind you Edited June 22, 2012 by lee323ci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdodds2004 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 is this a common on 330ci msport convertible 53plate? im worrying now this seems like a very serious problem and need to get mine checked before i drive it any further i think! no knocking noises from the rear i dont think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wash Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 You probably don't need to worry about it just yet but if you want to be on the safe side, and you're thinking of keeping the car for a while then personally I would get the subframe reinforced.

cdodds2004 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 yea thats what im thinking mate,, what sort of price do people pay for this? i watched the redish video in youtube and they look like they do a proper job sealing it all up after, its hard to find garages local to me to trust, i am booked in with autotech performance in telford, for rear brake pipe and trailing arm bush replacement, so i am going to ask if he can look at the subframes and maybe do the work but not sure if he does this repair or not! im sure he does as he seems like a real clever bloke! and whilst he has the fuel tank of to do break pipes and trailing arm bushes seems like the perfect time to get it looked at i think!?

Blair Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 You might as well get him to weld in a kit now the biggest part of the job is labour & he's going to have to many of the parts off anyway. I'll be selling kits soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdodds2004 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 how soon mate my motor is booked in 2 weeks time for all this work? are the training arm bushes diffrent to the front/rear subframe bushes as im now considering getting them all from powerflex even though at first i was against putting powerflex on im swaying towards them now! so thats 6 bushes i require for the rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blair Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 For now you'd need to call someone like DynoTorque or Turner Motorsport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee323ci Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hey i'd get them to have a look while the tanks off but you should be alright i think it mainly happens in older cars. You can get a kit here http://www.ca-int.co.uk/products-Y2FyX21ha2U9Ym13JmNhcl90eXBlPWU0NiZjYXRfaWQ9ODImY29tcF9pZD04.html The independent i took mine too fabricated a reinforcing kit (both internal and external) from sheet metal so if you use a decent garage auto engineer they could prob do that.
