It was just inspected by the dealer under the class action settlement. I was told no work was needed. Is subframe failure somenting I need to worry about? Should I get it reinforced?

I don't know what 'based on' means in this context. The X3, according to Wikipedia, is based on the E46 but does that necessarily mean it has the same subframe?

It sways and bounces all over the place at the slightest imperfection at low speeds. Is this related? The Edmunds Inside line long term test on the BMW X3 2005 had them taking it out for an off-roading afternoon. They were on state maintained fire roads and they blew out the suspension. They didn't understand it either. Is there something up with the X3's suspension? After all, it is based on a 3 series...can't remember which one though. My X3 has the bounciest ride.

I have a 2004 X3 that needs one replaced at a price tag of $1200.00. I have been told that the car is dangerous to drive like it is. If this is such a problem you would think they would pay to fix it in order to prevent a much bigger lawsuit. I also had a broken rear spring that needs fixed. The thing broke in half.
