    terminal damage says BMW.

    all right major problems here.!!! alright as i was leaveing bmw i put my car in reverse and it sounded like i skipped over a large rock from the rear left wheel. so i started driving it felt like the car was gunna go into a fish tail everytime i pushed the gas, so i was like oh shit my wheel is going to fall off. so i started slowing down and the rear end started vibrating really violentley and grinding.(sounded like the drive shaft touching the rear subframe. i stopped and got out to see that the rear subframe was ripped out of the car body. i rmoved the rear seat where i could see complete day light from through the hole where the subframe mounted up to. sooo., bmw says its terminal to the car if that happens but they also said they have never seen this on a e30? it feels like there was a rubber mount up there but it seems to have been decayed. do i just need new subframe to body mounts? i dunno whats going on here but it looks bad,! any thoughts.? i will get pictures soon so you guys can see.

        decent E30s are hard to find around here actually.. but they are around if you look hard enough.

        post up the pics. what's really odd is the subframe bushing is basically clamped in there - so even if it was completely shot, it shouldn't come apart. I've never heard of anything like this before.
