    2002 Z3M subframe welds

    I'm selling my 2002 Z3M and of course subframe welds are a concern to buyers. At this time I can't get it up on a lift to look underneath but here are pictures from the trunk.

    I think they look good. Opinions?

    I don't see any attachments. If the visible spot welds look good, I would really make an attempt to look under the car for a better idea of any problems.

    This is my roadie showing a crack by the diff ear. This is not what you want to see.

    Can you go to a shop like Brake Masters or Sun Devil Auto...etc., and ask them to put your car on a lift? It may cost you a few dollars for them to that.

    I don't see any spot welds I would be concerned about in the photos. You would be looking for small cracks around the edge of the spot welds and maybe some rust coloring in the cracks if they have been there for a while. As ProductUser says, you need to look under the car, because it can have issues without having cracked any spot welds.
