I tried searching, but I didn't even know what to call it and couldn't come up with anything that was relevant to what I saw today. Was about to purchase this 91 e30, but noticed that the driver side rocker sill/chassis at the weld line was cracking. Wasn't sure if this is normal or a structural issue and I should stay away. Any help is appreciated!

Driver door rocker/chassis cracking at seam?

Might be the result of a low quality paint job or something. I don't know if E30s typically flex at the seam or not, but that could also do it. I'm guessing they don't though, since that's probably a pretty rigid area, being part of the rocker. My bet is on paint job since it looks like the seam was filled in a bit with a little body filler compared to the other side.
Of course that would suggest that one side has had body work done, and the other side hasn't, which could indicate a prior accident/body damage.
