elmarco 56 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 I say bloody good on BMW for sorting you out on a car that is a long way out of warranty. EuroCollision have a very good reputation - so you will be getting some top workmanship to boot. I think this should counter some of the other threads recently where BMW have been accused of bad service. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotwire 352 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 Yep, great news & good on them for that. You say E46's up to 01 - did they sort the problem on post 01 cars? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simke 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 Got a call from Team McMillan today, new subframe has arrived from Germany, and the repairs are going to start on 5th of Jan, so I'll get my car back sometime towards the end of Jan. Very pleased with the outcome and customer service from BMW, A++. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nu-Del 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 Its great that BMW are picking up the bill for the repair I wonder if thats an across the board approach to this issue or a one off sort of thing... Am strongly considering considering fitting the tunermotorsport kit befor much further work on my E46 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He photos everything. They will probably be doing the chassis as well as the subframe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simke 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) Go for it. I'm dropping off the car there on the 5th. Not sure if he has any photos now, unless they were given to him by Team McMillan (they did the initial assessment).

I'll do that, but will you ask Dave to supply them to me ... he might not be able to though ... BMW might not allow him to considering they are paying for it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
