Almost doesn't matter the speed at all. Usually as I go over a bump it feels like I'm driving on a cement road full of rocks...
The car has a "wheel hop" feeling & skips at worst & at best I can feel the rear of the car "steering" & the settling
My subframe bushings appear to be good could it be the diff bushings?
My e36 has AKG Delrin RTABS & I can hear when those bind as it makes a distinctive sound It's not those
I also have DriftHQ toe arms which are brand new & my bolts are tight/snug (I checked)
I recently swapped out my subframe as my old one had a bolt seized in it & the problem began after the subframe swap.
Sure my common since says subframe bushings, but I highly doubt that's the issue as the car only really pulls to the right if anything...
It feels about the same as when my RTABS were bad. I'd say 30% of what those felt like at their worst & they were metal to metal clanking when I got the car.

Get an alignment make sure the shop understands how to do rear toe.

You report, "my car worked until I fixed it, now it doesn't work." I think you need to get under the car and check your work.

JdHaggle-Land I need an educated opinion on the source so I don’t replace more than I need to.
I gave detail on what was fixed & made sure to note the I rechecked all my bolts that were touched (indirectly) sure an idiot can change the subframe but most wouldn’t attempt.
You’re the reason people don’t like forums.
& I never said the car “worked” until I fixed it you trying to be a smartass told you I said that.
I said a bolt was seized in the last subframe, BUUUUUT I’ll let you assume & not explain how I knew it was (seized/crossthreaded) or why I was “fixing” it in the first place since you like jumping to conclusions.

Eric I’ll try that first I know these bmws are iffy... I had a bad rear tire (had a nail in it) & it made the steering wheel not straight. Any other car would’ve drove straight
