i'm new to the E36. i'm more used to my E24.
car: 1999 E36 M3. no mods. not raced (that i know of).
the left rear trailing arm has ripped out of the pocket, pulling all 3 bolts and their bungs right out of the unibody. (http://wtmi.net/bmw/1999e36reartrailing.jpg)
the body shop i originally had it towed to (which i've used before on 2 separate E24s) was reluctant to work on it, and recommended another collision repair shop nearby (9 miles) for the job.
looking around, i see that i need(ed - past tense) the reinforcement plates on the pockets.
does anyone have a recommendation in the DFW area for a shop that could repair this? some place with experience in this era BMWs?
