Bumpage!
I got it fixed by a different garage as part of an Inspection 2 Service, £450 including welding a new bracket to the exhaust (it had snapped) 2 front bottom suspension arms, air con re-gass and some other odds & sods.
Far cheaper than the £200 for just the exhaust job (!) or, £900 that my local BMW stealer quoted.
Incidentally, Both Krap Fit & ATS did'nt want to know as "the system needed welding and its stainless steel"
, tbh, both seemed just not interested in getting the welder out! - Never had much faith in them, this just underlines it.
No mate, got mine in August last, and, my names Paul.
The car has a later design of M52 engine thats (so I'm told) not affected by the bore wear issue.
