Yep, as mentioned in the other thread, 10 yr goodwill has unfortunatly come to an end.
Got me wondering if the BMW Insured Warranty that many people have might cover it (I guess it wasn't really a consideration till now as the goodwill was available). The comprehensive policy wording says it covers all "mechanical and electrical" exept for ... [long exclusion list]. In the exlusion list "bodywork" is mentioned.
Personally I would not call an integral part of the chassis like the floorpan in question, "bodywork". Bodywork to me is fenders, bumpers etc. (As an engineer, I would argue the chassis just a large part of the suspension!) So it is a bit grey. The policy clearly covers driveline, and the mounting of the rear driveline to the chassis is the cause of the issue. Conclusion, grey as hell.
If you can't get them to cover it, must you repair it yourself to pass the MOT?
