The first part of course is M3W driver specific and owners have been vocal but the second concerns all of us – it is in fact the nub of the issue.
So open a new topic in the Malvern Arms rather than keep repeating yourself in a thread relating to a specific M3W issue. Feeling very comfortable right here Chris99 I can understand that you don't feel the same

It sure reads like a full recall to me.
From past experience with the M3W MMC do seem reluctant to trigger this.
Maybe I am wrong. My overriding concern is safety.
I do not want to read about a catastrophic event.
I suspect you might be hearing more on this soon.

Just checked my 2012 car ( thanks must go to Planenut who spotted it) and found a crack starting on the offside lower wishbone joint, lets see how the factory deals with this, i don't want a repair to my chassis especially if there are no guarantees the fix will work.

There are 5 M3W's mine included that have had the repair done by MMC. These 5 have done over 2000 miles each with no issues since, which is what you expect. There are others as well with fewer miles since the repair.

Hi Rog
Do you mean there have been issues after the repair had been done, if so what are the issues,also as far as i am aware MMC is not calling this a repair but an "upgrade " ?
