Hi. Im after just some suggestions really. I was out in my e46 330d just now, its open diff so doesnt really go sideways much but spins up. I went round a small roundabout and give it some beans and the car went into a real nice smooth drift. Drove off as normal but now my steering wheel is squint and my tracking really bad. I cant understand, I didnt mount a kirb or nowt.
Poked my head under car and around wheel and its possible my rear bush has pulled out towards front a little. Not sure but one may have. Is this possible? I dont know how they are fitted or pressed? Nee to e46 scene.

Id be more concerned about the boot floor than the bushes

E46's, being the budget turds they are, like to rip boot floors out for fun

At first i was expecting my axle to be hanging off when i get out. Definately something on front, the pass wheel is pointing out

Sounds a well maintained car.
