Cush Drives

This is not an uncommon problem. If you have the extended warranty then they maybe covered by BMW. Regardless you will need to replace them.

Surely the joining piece is just to hold them to-gether re packaging, it doesn't serve any other purpose

I'd agree there. Can't see how that is 'necessary'. I think it's just to aide installation.

HOW MUCH PLAY IF ANY SHOULD THERE BE IVE GOT ABOUT 6mm, I spoke to the dealer today they say that they have never heard of any problems with the cush drive plus they wont 80 quid for them so much for the ex warranty

i got first set for free (outside of warranty) . the 2nd set only lasted 4k miles and i had to pay for that set. i was told that if/when these go i wont have to pay for the next set though

Should be hardly any if any. They should be a very snug fit.

I spoke with the dealer again today they said it could be the carrier causing the play not the cush drive as they replaced a few of them and the cush drives being broke at the bridge wouldn't cause any play,

Yep - mines is the same and makes no difference at all. It's not like they're going anywhere are held in with the sprocket carrier anyway.
Not worth a trip to dealer unless you have it booked in for something else anyway IMAO?!

thanks guys for your help I think ill wait till the next service and then get the dealer to check the cush drive,the
