Just thought I'd pass on that I took my M140i into Eastern BMW in Edinburgh to get the exhaust flap rattle looked at. I went armed with a video of it rattling. I didn't suggest any particular fix when dropping it off, but just that I was aware this is a known issue with these cars. I had a call this morning to say that they are replacing the back box with an MPE for free. I said I'd be happy with that :spotman: Particularly impressed as I didn't buy the car from them, TRL having been massively cheaper. In other news, I requested and got an i3 as a courtesy car, an have been very impressed indeed. Super smooth and surprisingly rapid. Bring on the rumoured i3S!
