| Jan | 2011 | 143000 | 700 | Rear subframe was tearing out of body. Second time it happened. BMW paid part of the cost, and the rest was paid for by the repair shop that BMW had paid to fix the same issue on my car back in 2006. Since subframe was already out of the car, I decided to pay for the differential and subframe bushings to be replaced, which was roughly $600. |
