Subframe mount recall

Good news for folks with subframe mount issues:

Quote:
Proposed Class Settlement
for Owners and Lessees of 1999-2006 BMW 3 Series
Vehicles

On October 24, 2006, Girard Gibbs filed a class action complaint against
BMW of North America, alleging that 1999-2006 BMW 3 Series vehicles suffer
from defective sub-frames. According to the complaint, the constant loading
and unloading associated with normal driving can weaken the sub-frame to
the point where it cracks and separates from the chassis, resulting in
thousands of dollars of damage to the vehicle. The complaint alleges that
BMW was aware of the alleged sub-frame defect, but failed to notify
consumers or pay for sub-frame repairs under warranty.

On March 3, 2009, Hon. Judge Dean D. Pregerson granted preliminary approval
of a proposed class settlement, under which BMW will reimburse E46 owners
or lessees in full for their sub-frame repair expenses. As part of the
settlement, BMW has also agreed to implement a National Sub-Frame
Inspection and Repair Program. All current owners and lessees of a
1999-2006 BMW 3 series vehicle will be notified of the sub-frame problem
and will have one year to present their vehicle for a free inspection and
repair (if needed). The Court is scheduled to decide whether to finally
approve the proposed settlement on August 3, 2009.

action lawsuit or proposed settlement, please fill out the form on the
