One major draw back of fitting new subframe bushes!

Its raised the back of the car about 2cm!!!!!

Not too bad got it done at BMW, they had to work on the car for like 4 hours and i asked to balance all of the wheels. A total cost of Ãƒ”šÃ‚£180 inc vat and labour. (and a few complimentary cappuccinos)

Lads if your after an abundance of eye candy to drowl over when getting your motors serviced try Synter, Gallows Corner, Romford! They have between 8-10 honies in there everyday! Wow!!! I come out of there every time with a canoe trousers.... I'm on my 2nd warning now though one more and I get a barred from the showroom!

Apartently seat sniffing is not a hobby BMW take kindly to...especially when one of their receptions are still sitting on it!

does it drive better now andy....

felt pretty tight when i drove it already-but i wasnt pushing it i guess

ive realised that my dipstick may be popping cos its loose-it comes out very easily-the o-rings must be worn i guess-and the leak is just the rocker cover gasket

Yes it does, i cant explain it in technical terms, but it doesnt tramline as much. The bumps in the road dont crash as much plus she dont oversteer that easy anymore (while coasting) and going round a fast turn (i know)

Same happened when I had mine done! I had wondered why it had always been lower at the back than the front - it's not anymore!
Got mine done at local garage and they charged me Ãƒ”šÃ‚£40+VAT labour. I bought gen. BMW bushes and they cost me Ãƒ”šÃ‚£27 inc. VAT.
