You know, I hear people bring this up constantly, and I've never actually seen it. I own an E36, as do several of my friends, and none of us have had this issue. I'm getting the feeling that it's one of those things that happened to a few people who flogged the piss out of their cars regularly and it blew up from there.
As for you, Danny, I'm all for the M Coupe. I'd love to own one of those someday.
Word, 3 e36's, none have had subframe issues; all have had rtab issues. Buddies have a e36 and e46's and none have subframe issues either.
Still think the STI is a better choice coming from e30, but e46 m3 is so much sexier.
Nobody's seemed to mention that the e46 m3 has the same subframe issues that that e36's had.

Really? I only heard horror stories about the r53 models.
I've seen every type of Mini Cooper come in all for the same issues. The electric steering fail. Timing skips a tooth. Carbon build up. The heads always end up coming off for some sort of replacement/repair. I wouldn't own one, plus, they're FWD. I just don't care for any type of Mini Cooper and I don't like the way they drive. But hey, that's just me :)
