That and the rear subframe kind of likes to....you know...fall off after 100k miles. The rear floor is not as strong as it should be around the area of the rear suspension mounts, mostly because the E36 was the first generation in which BMW used CAD to design their cars and as most people suspect, made some sort of obvious error there. You might want to make sure thats not happening to any E36 you're looking at
