Spot the problem
I've never had suspension go both sides at the same time before. That's a new one.
My money is the subframe failed
I was really looking forward to going for a drive today too 

Hard to think through the solution to this.

In the event it is the subframe, to get it fixed would probably mean a long time paying it off.
I can't just scrap it and get a banger because I need adaptions to legally drive, which would probably be about the same if not more than the subframe for what I need.
Scrapping it and being without a car means a total loss of independence since I can't navigate transport most days.

Basically 'welp, I'm fucked' in all directions

A few things that are making it a bit wtf:
someone I know who works almost exclusively on beamers has never seen a subframe fail on this model without something catastrophic happening
It's a /bit/ higher on one side, so could just look low from taking all the weight? Idk
There's still some bounce in it.

I'm not going to actually get any answers until we can jack it up and have a look or get it to a garage since I don't think our trolley jack fits under this car anyway πŸ™ƒ

Alright, mind put more at ease that it's not a catastrophic issue and may even be something that can be fixed without having to try and move the car
@babe that would be a big win. Hope everything works out!
@babe I don’t doubt you for a second but I am scratchy head about how a subframe gives up first without being made of chocolate or chewed through by robot mice. Did someone saw through it to steal your cats or sutin?!

@cat It just seems like the obvious answer give *waves arms in the direction of it*
But it's that or an unlikely dual failure, or just /looks/ like a dual failure.

But it's had work done in the past year where the kind of wear or corrosion necessary to cause any major failure should have been caught that'd be bad enough it'd fail while stationary

@babe just so. I mean I’m working on the back of my truck and it’s jacked up on two failed sills and the back axle seems rusty but *fine* and it’s a 1997 thing driven in Scotland ffs. How can a modern bm just collapse in 6 months?!
@babe maybe there's a recall that covers it?
@babe did that fail _in place_, when it was parked?
@babe Gah, that's horrible.
@babe *cries in oil filter housing gasket*

@babe

I am really sorry. 😞
