did some work on my car today and while i was jacking the car up I saw that the rails were awkwarkly weak. everytime it bent. also saw a lot of corrosion and rust. think a body shop can restore/recondition it? is this usual/unusual for a near 2 decade car?

there is absolutely nothing that you can do if your car is rusted like that. I got rid of my last e30 just because of the rust situation and becuase i couln't even change a tire without feeling bad for the car. There was a spot in the back where i was to pick up the car, the jack would move the floorboard. believe it! sold it. got a nice rustless FL car w/ perfect rails
you gonna have to find different jacking points, like the rear diff or mainframe on the front.....idk if jacking from the front subfrap is safe, but i did it a few times.
search "bimmer diy" on google (first link) and look under e30 for jacking points and it'll show you a pic of a turned over e30 with all the jacking points and jack stand points on the car
rust ftmlNo more e30s for me.
