Here the update. The garage said they didn't find any cracks, they told me the car is probably bent ! Thus impossible to align.

I decide to get a 2nd advice from a second shop.

In less than 20 hours they call me back '' your car is ready and straight''.

The car has NOTHING !, the rear subframe was off, but only need a adjustment.

IMPORTANT lesson learned : BMW and Audis are NOT corollas, you can't align them as usual. You need to work with the subframe first , then check the wheels alignment.

This is a 2h job VS Japanese car that would be 30-1h job.

Do business with and indi specialized with BMW

oVeRdOsE. lol has nothing to do with being Bmw, Audi, or Japanese....but the competence of the person working on the vehicle.

I wouldn't re-weld it. If either get a new subframe or get a really good used on eBay, for 1/2 the price of a new one

The subframe is too important of a part to be playing around with.

Now would be a great time upgrade control arms etc.

try a junk yard if you can. cheap subframes
