I dunno, it's probably cheaper to get the M3 fixed than pay for a pint in London.

Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!

Just another wee update, I was in at my mates garage today to fit my springs and check out another few problems.
When I was under looking at the back I decided to have another look at the supposedly Ok but I can still see cracks, what do you thnik.....

Spot the crack....




(sorry about the bad iphone photos and the big photos, they won't resize in photobucket once loaded)

So to say I'm quite disappointed in Eastern, I expected them to know exactly what they were looking at, but it looks like I'll have to tell them how to fix it too. So I'll be having words tomorrow.

Well I'd already been in. the car is stock, they gave it a "Health check" which cost me 36quid, and told me a few things that were needing fixed but there was no cracks and it was fine, but I wasn't convinced, and rightly so. where were they looking.....the the diff....the subframe itself??

I'll not be paying this time tho!!
