Rear suspension failure on E36 BMW.. I have read about this on every BMW forum.. the rear subframe mounts tear the floor sheet metal as they are not properly reinforced. I have owned 4 separate cars with this same problem and I know countless others. www.unofficialbmw.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?T=10859.
