Pretty sure it is the chassis cracks in the upright tube at the front lower wishbone mount, the same ones that were reported on TM almost a year ago.

Has anyone been contacted by MMC or a dealer to have their M3W inspected yet? I don't mean after you have contacted them about it but a letter or email requesting you to get your car checked. My car is a 2013 one, so comes within the group for the recalls, I have not been contacted by anyone yet. I have contacted one dealer but had no reply but thats another story. I know other early car owners and none of them have been contacted either. As the TM monitoring M3W owners only consists of a fairly low percentage of owners, probably less than 10% are listed here, I don't think that a post on TM from MMC about a recall is all that is needed to get to most of the cars involved.

I am aware that my car has the later pedal box and a 2015 chassis now, so no actual panic about getting it checked. I doubt that MMC are aware of the mod state of my car and it would be nice to get a real recall letter or email. I would be very interested to hear if anyone has had one.
