325is subframe

[davebt]

Just had my subframe break at the differential. Has anyone had this replaced or repaired? Is it worth it. The car is a 92 with 150,000 miles. Runs great otherwise.

Thanks

You broke the diff bolt / mount or your subframe floor is ripping out? I had the Turner reinforcement plates welded in on my car-

The subframe is ripping out. The Turner kits are preventative, but not a fix at this point. Just wondering if anyone has had this problem and whether they had to replace the subframe.

Thanks
