| Had my car inspected by a mechanic and he noticed a tear in the subframe near the rear drivers side. tunes out this is a known problem for e46 bmws. bmw will only cover 50% of the repairs and has admitted that this is a defect in their design. it's now a safety issue as the car is out of alignment and the floor has dropped, rubbing on the rear axle. *tr | |||
