UDPATES*
(3/30/18) I have corrected the sub-frame issue from a local welder who took the time to really learn about this issue and developed a method to permanently reinforce it.
Reinforcement video (from trunk) and pics:

This took him a few weeks to learn what method he was going to use and a week to get the job done. He was serious enough about this job that he bought a lift, specifically for low-profile cars, to do it.
(2/15/18) Previous potential buyer paid to have the vehicle inspected by BMW of Portland (Rassmusen BMW). The car passed passed in all categories (other than the sub-frame). A copy can be provided upon request. The previous buyer spent $300 on the inspection, then had an emergency overseas and gave me permission to move on. If I do hear from that buyer again, I"ll continue to hold it.
(11/15/17) Discovered the car needed a sub-frame / differential mount weld. This is a very common problem with Z3 M"s as the sub-frame was originally designed for a 1.9, 4-liter engine.
