Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am the third owner of this car, it was always garaged and used as a weekend pleasure vehicle. clean carfax, never raced, what i thought was a good purchase. two spot welds in the trunk were not actually holding anything together (robot error) and there was a small crack on my differential mount. i purchased a reinforcement kit and install from sports car llc, which includes a new mount (dual ear from an e36 m3) and several reinforcing brackets being welded into the trunk area. this cost me several thousand dollars just to ensure my personal safety and keep my car at the same time. *nm
