Cracking floor? All E46's M3's come with this problem?

[deve]

I'm also looking at E46 M3 cars, since I like the body-style - all of them have the same problem with Cracking floor? I think its called SubFrame? Cracks? - that is crazy since i love the way M's look and I want one BAD as well!

Hey Deve, since I owned few cars in the past, also- 02 e46 M3! yes, you have to be very-carefull what you chose! I believe that, years 01 through 03 was common problem, later on they fixed, but still I would check the subframe, by lifting the car up and checking- both sides (rear shocks) shine the light throught and you could see hair-line cracks, plenty of horror stories about this problem, usually its also do to lowering the car a lot and putting th stress on the subframe - but i think its also poor engineering!

 

M3 has also few issues like Vanos failure google it up
