    ^ That thread focuses on TPG Tuning's "solution" to the crank hub problem, but still has some good info in it about the crank hub issue.

    Yeah, I figured she would know for sure given her job. I was just curious, if it was in fact true that would be a major disappointment because everything else about those cars is amazing. I wish I could afford a new M2/M3. Everything about them is very well done.

    The M2 is a damn nice car and I liked the blue much better than white. Everywhere we went, we’d get compliments on the blue car. That’s not going to happen with white.
    white is boring. I like that. LOL

    Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I've heard about it but I never recalled it being a huge problem. I think it was more on the early cars anyway. They should have these problems sorted by now, I'd imagine...
