Hi,

I was under the impression that the work
relating to the ''design flaw'' was / is being
carried out as act of ''Goodwill'' and that
BMW introduced a self imposed deadline
for their own Good will gesture in this instance.

I would have thought that an act of ''Goodwil''l
is just that, and it comes with no future
liability, either implied or otherwise.
No further Warranty on what is undertaken
as it was not done under Warranty or as a Model recall.

ie ] What you get is what you got.

So until a Court Case ensues whereby its Ruled
that the design is flawed and BMW are responsible
then that is it.
[Very Costly to prove even given the evidence to date]

Hence why I think BMW CH are saying basically
''Fuck Off'' as there is no official Euro Warranty Recall
or Model Recall for E46 Rear Subframe mounts.

The opportunity to bring BMW to the table has
somewhat been missed in that some owners in mainland
Europe should have brought/sent there car[s] to
the UK for repair, which really would have focused
BMW on the matter to hand, especially given
the fact that BMW UK had been sanctioned to
undertake ''goodwill'' repairs on a issue that
other BMW Franchises deny the existance of.

Nothing like European ''Corporate Contridiction'' for
getting the Brussels Quango's all fucked up, even
better when it involves one of the inner circle.

Regards,

The Gorilla.
