ah ye sorry lad i didnt mean to be ignorant there i knew what you were saying just the way i worded it, ye and bmw left in metal flaps!! a buddy of mine owns a fairly big top end car garage near me and any td bmw that comes in for sales he takes out the flaps after 3 warenty claims its the safest way,

i will say i never drove the bros car much before it happend so i cant comment on before and after, but lots of people have doen it and said there is little or no diffrance
