    BMW 3 series subframe inspection

    Just had subframe inspection done on the vert, no issue. Per the advisor they have only seen 1 or 2 cars out of the total they have inspected. All of them were very early cars. FWIW

    DW, scrub some of that information out of there. Remove the gmail account address and get rid of the cell phone number and residence number.

    Ehh. I don't think it is as common as many people think, but it certainly isn't that rare. It has happened to many M3s as well.

    M3s also have a reinforced subframe. It probably will never break; just don't think our car's are immune to this issue.
