Agreed. I don't think poweflex bushes will help, and I am sceptical of the reinforcement kit, certainly not without the foam injection.

I honestly think a car that has only been on track will be less likely to have a cracked floor than a car that has been only on the road. To me it's the cold low rev changes typical of everyday driving that send a jolt through the drive line that loads the 3 diff bushes to the limit of their progression which in turn loads the subframe bushes and floor. Well, that and sharp bumps like those from potholes. Maybe the problem is more known in the UK because the roads are so unbelievably shit? The high rev changes that you can achieve on track tend to be crisp and smooth. Anyway, I digress, thoughts are irrelevant, BMW want to hear that it hasn't been on track, so that's what you tell em.
