This entire model run of this high performance car is now exhibiting significant flexing and weakening of the aluminum frame due to a design failure. This is causing the chassis to bend at the area of the shock tower crowns, and change the alignment of the car. Aluminum chassis can not be fixed, they have to be replaced. The cost of this design flaw is around $80,000 per car once the chassis gives way. You can see a full review of the problem here: http://www.bmwz8.us/vbb/showthread.php?t=400&referrerid=2.
