[QUOTE="BwanaDik, post: 636228, member: 13660"] I read an article about the FD failures some time ago by one of the BMW gear heads. Can't remember if it was in the BMW magizine or in MCN. IIRC the guys final analysis (obviously not confirmed by BMW) was an assembly error that put too much (or possibly not enough) preload on the big bearing in the hub. It had nothing to do with single sided vs. double sided swng arms, it was more of a machining/assembly error. Sorry about being so vague, age and alcohol ya know, maybe somebody in the BMW forums can find the article. [/QUOTE]
