The Piston crack is a major issue to me and i am just glad we saw it as the car was to see a track tomorrow night, there are other cracks visible but the one you see is more than a crack, the piston has come apart and the section you see that looks like a crack actually fell out in my hands, this is dangerous stuff.
I'm not sure BMW will see it the way you guys are, who are calling for a recall, but we will see.
I am just so thankful we saw this now and not 'after' the .......
I hope to have some more information on this tomorrow when i hear back from BMW. |
I completely agree. My car is with Andrew for prepping for the track day tomorrow, and this could really have been a bad result on the track, and I am not talking about my times either! So thanks Scott. Buy you a beer if you ever come to Australia. :thumbup:
Btw, my car is only a few months old and have done 4000km, of which there were 4 track days on it. This is rediculous, and if BMW/Brembo doesn't acknowledge the issue, I will be very dissapointed.
