Hi Guys,

Just thought I would share my own experience of how a cheap simple fix transformed the drive and feel of my car.

I've had the M3 for around 12 months and she has always suffered from drive train shunt and a few grumbles when changing gear and an annoying vibration from the rear end, after searching various forum's I just took it as a quirk of the car with many people suffering similar moans and groans.

I had all the wheels checked to ensure they were round and also got them balanced but I still had vibration from the rear end ..... anyway all is know cured when by a stroke of luck a diff mount bolt snapped and fell out when pulling off the driveway.

Said bolts have know been replaced and gone are the clunks and groans along with all rear end vibration, worth changing yours for the sake of a few quid ...

Hope this helps someone !
