all I can say is "shame"
a young lady came "limping" into the shop today with a new-ish F30 320i, we lifted it up and so the front left control arm snapped right thru about mid-distance.
apparantly she hit a pothole about 1km away and came crawling into the shop.
Unfortunately due to the scope of work required and the need to purchase the spares and time required, we coudn't do anything for her today, except let the car sleep over in the shop for the weekend, and attempt the repair on Monday.
I didn't realize that the suspension is so "soft", that it takes just a pothole to snap the control arm like a dry twig.
will take some pics of the wounded car on monday.....shame to be without ones BMWbaby for the weekend![Cry]( "Cry")
