So the guys at bimmerforums.com act as though this is a huge, widespread thing and that Z3s are just these ticking timebombs of impending subframe doom...yet searches of posts here, other forums, and across the internet don't turn up that many other mentions of it, and even fewer actual instances of it happening.
So is this just a case of a particular internet subculture whipping itself up into a Chicken Little panic or are they just the only ones bothering to actually talk about it? As someone beginning a search for a used Z3, this gives me pause, but I don't want to put too much emphasis on what seems to be a very vocal outcry from a remarkably small group of people.
