Not being argumentative, genuinely curious. I did some reading up and saw some youtubes that showed the suspension components during wheel hop and those shocks looked rough. Got me wondering how much damage kids spinning around were doing. |

I can't speak for the Dct, but I've never had wheel hop on any of my launches (6mt). Gotta launch on the right service, with the right tire pressure, and correct amount of throttle/engine speed.

O RLY? Any time it's less than 65F out (i.e. not enough traction for 1st gear) I get wheel hop.

You talking about loss of traction or "wheel hop". Totally different.

BMW failed to cover the costs, and I then proceeded to take the car to my private mechanic. Turns out the differential and subframe were fine. The only damage was a couple of missing bolts and a little damage to the output shaft which I replaced. Total cost was $1200.
BMW really tried to stick it to me this time. This is the last BMW I will be buying.

I can assure you they were on there and torqued properly when it left the factory.

What dealership? You should name them for everyone's benefit. You know some other owner may have paid.

What I don't understand in OP's case, is why the dealer was charging so much more than it really cost to repair the car?? ![]()

He has an axle back exhaust. The most popular way to install one is to drop the hangers rather than screw with the rubber bushings/hangers. If you don't reinstall the nuts properly, then this can be the result.

I would agree that based on his account it sounds like the dealer could have handled it better.
