> In all honesty, if there isnt anything I can see, it doesnt mean it might not be a problem later on. OR that the bushings and other shit could be in the way, blocking your line of sight and its starting to crack under that. If you plan on keeping it for some time, it might still be worth dropping the frame, gussetting it in the known problem spots and on the unibody spots where the E36’s pull through too and not worrying about it after that. Even if you dont plan on keeping it a while, thats a VERY good selling point when it comes to offloading the car for the next whip.

thats really not my problem though, my problem is Keeler telling me it needs fixing and is unsafe to drive NOW, NOT “oh these rear subframe mounts crack all the time on this, you might want to reinforce it soon”

no, they flat out told me, its cracked NOW, unsafe to drive NOW and will cost $6-8,000 to fix and do I want to go ahead and do it NOW
