Roy, could you email/pm the link on the subframe strengthening please?

Also when do you anticipate this kit being available in production form? any rough guidelines? I'm aware your fairly busy with other projects etc (in particularly the 6series s62 kit). Is that using the same kit here?

Thanks
Tin

hi Tin

- M5 kit is not same as our M6 custom kit no

Yep, still up for this.

Can't find any subframe links under Hamann7's id.. not much on this subject in the search archives about this,

Maybe Shadowman will point us in the right direction, although I don't dare troubling him for such a mundane issues as the rear sub-frame!

is it a case of re-welding/double welding in key areas of the structure?

Anyone know what Dinan specifiy on their S3 Package?

Will try and dig out some pics of the underneath of an m5, whilst on a ramp

According to your pictures ... You must've decided against installing your X-Pipe. I'd strongly suggest that inspect the OEM flimsy Rear Sway-Bar Brackets. I'd bet upon close inspection you will find a hairline crack ... especially on the passenger side. After you discover that crack ... I assume that's when you'll upgrade to HEAVY DUTY Brackets.

ok chaps,

lets organise a suitable meeting point, I think there is a service station on the m3 around junction 4 southbound (fleet services).

Or better still how about Runnymede hotel, egham? there was a bm3w meet there last year? clicky for location

time say 9am?

tin

 

[dmc]

Getting off the motorway sounds like a bad idea to me!! the motorway services meet sounds good.. but 9am?? i'll have to be up and out at 7am.. on a saturday!!!! but so be it if you guys insist. Where are they based and how long will it take to get there?

 

[Tin]

which route are you taking?
probably make it 10am, but will take 1.5hrs to get to CA in Gosport

[rogbacon]

OK great Fleet Services 10am. I reckon it's only about 50 miles, which is 19.4 minutes by my calculations.
