Consumer Description

MY Z3 M COUPE HAS 71,000 MILES AND IS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE. I CHECKED THE TRUNK FLOOR AND THERE ARE 18 OR MORE SPOT WELDS BREAKING THROUGH THE SUB FRAME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS - I'M AFRAID THE DIFFERENTIAL IS GOING TO FALL OFF AND CAUSE AND ACCIDENT - FOR ME OR OTHERS. I HAVE PARKED THE CAR AND HAVE TO WORK FROM HOME. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN MANY OTHER CASES TO MY KNOWLEDGE AND APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. *TR
