It would be the same reaction if M3/4's started exploding. Its a premium flagship model so they are going to have to tread carefully.
You say that but BMW have not long released a safety recall on M4 and M3 disks because they keep cracking and it’s quite common too!
But it’s not as in your face as this issue with the RS.
I think it’s because of the different types of owner as well tbh.
The RS has a younger crowd as it’s cheaper and usually a gay light blue colour to match their trainers! They run off to Facebook to tell the world the car has messed up and the world is over because it’s happened to them, and then share it 5000 times in every RS group going.
The M3/M4 owners are usually people in their 30/40s because they cost so much to buy, and aren’t too fussed with social media either they just want their car fixed without a cost lol.
Look at the theft adverts out there, fords all over the place.
Most stolen cars in the UK = X5, Range Rover and M3/M4s
No ford in the top 10 currently lol.
