M3

  • 129,000 miles
Inspection by two mechanics shows cracks in the subframe holding the back wheels. There was a legal case involving this defect that was settled by BMW which was to fix the problem and notify all owners of 3 series BMW's about the defect so it could be fixed. They never informed me of defect and have staled on the repair.
