I've just had a front strut spring mounting break off on my E39 BMW 528. Wrecked the tyre, but no other damage (other than the strut, of course). Discovered there was a re-call for this in the US in 2004. But not, according to the AA site, in the UK. Anyone got a better site for UK re-calls?
The car has a FMDSH up until last year at the dealer it was bought new from. Can I expect any help from BMW? The quote (from an independant) to do the job including recovery and new tyre is over 600 quid - replacing both struts.
