Hi Guys,
A cry from the tiny Island across the Pond here !
I'm faced with a £8k ($ 11,000) bill to fix my i3 after a bolt sheared 2 weeks ago. The reason I'm at this point is that literally 5 days after taking out Ext War with a 3rd party it failed so I can't claim as it was 2 days before my Healthcheck to validate the Ext War, so truly Sods Law as we say over here...
I saw Bob Wilsons extensive thread with excellent pictures of the work on his car (and will use some of the pics to check that the Nov 2015 upgrade was done despite being told by the Service Rep when I picked it up it hadn't been...) so I know some of you have been through this pain before so I have a question...
Does anyone know if there has been, either by recall or a change during the manufacturing cycle, a further upgrade on the bolts/mounts SINCE the Nov 2015 recall ?
Is yes, please let me have the evidence and dates of this asap.
If these are the correct bolts then frankly this is blatant design flaw and most people are sitting on a failure waiting to happen !
Any help greatly appreciated, best, K
