I presume the crack was due to flexing , hence the various stiffening modifications with the welded in bracing of the 2014 model being the ultimate version .

I have done more miles than most people at over 10,000 miles and a lot of it on bumpy roads , which probably explains why I found the bump steer worse than others .

I regularly drive on the A1101 between Mildenhall and Littleport which is a seriously terrible road , how it can be classed as an a road I don't understand ! If anyone wants to test the suspension on any car they should try it . It's not exactly a scenic route unless you are particularly fond of fenland views !

Shall we add a special field in the M3W registry to keep track of the chassis with problems? shades

Are you allowed phone contact with the factory and get an answer from them? My dealer (non UK) did not get any response from the factory until he duly sent in a email with technical support request.
This joke has been going on now for nearly 7 weeks for a broken valve spring and last week factory sent out all needed spare parts except spring.
Did we say "improved customer service"?
