    1999 BMW M Roadster

    I have been told that the only way to get my back wheels alignment is to have the body stretched.  Is this correct?

    Uhh, no.

    Most likely, your subframe is bent, and a frame shop can straighten these out.

    Another, more frequent problem is the differential mount tearing away from the bottom of the car.

    Look VERY CLOSELY at the sheetmetal the supports the diff mount- not a strong design at all.

    While your at it, check the rear upper shock mount areas for cracking as well.

    Lastly, if you lowered the car, the rear camber will be out- look for camber adjustment bushings for this.
