Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1998 bmw m roadster with 101,000 miles on it. the rear of the car has many cracks in the rear subframe and trunk area, including the differential mount. the car was never raced or autocrossed, but is my daily transport to work. this is very dangerous, as the transaxles could easily fall out of the car at speed. fortunately, i spotted it while replacing the exhaust and no one was hurt. i am a phd materials scientist and spot this as metal fatigue. *nm |
