I have a 1998 Z3 M roadster and the trunk welds holding the subframe is failing. This is a commonly documented issues. BMW dealers acknowledge the issue but BMW North America will not fix it. This is a welding/manufacturing defect that can lead to the differential and suspension components in the rear to completely separate.
