You're going to have to go to aftermarket (m) (archive)

Hi Lester, good luck with the factory, but if you tell them you're AutoXing I doubt that they will stand behind it even under warantee....My sway bar came out the second time I autoXed and I went to R&D sway bar and have had Zero problems ever since.....My dealer put new rubber bushings in when it happened, but warned me that they wouldn't cover it again and to consider after markeet if I were going to continue Track stuff....So you can do the mountain bike and Dinan stuff or just change the sway bar...Check with SCCA but I think if you just change the rear bar it won't move you up in class...but Dinan Stage 3 will definately move you up...so you might want to consider that also....See ya in a couple of weeks, Tom

:
: Well it took less then a week before my rear sway bar came lose again! This appears to be a serious design flaw with the suspension on the Z3. I'm not a happy camper with BMW!
: I'm calling my dealer in the morning to complain. It appears to me that they could have at least put a small hole in the end of the sway bar and pinned the end with a cotter pin or small bolt and washer. Better yet they should have attached it with a bolt like the aftermarket folks do.
: I think I'm going to try to make them come up with a fix for this problem. Afterwards, I'll pull the piece of junk and put on an aftermarket system that is designed correctly!
: Lester
