Just picked up this mint 97 2.8 5 speed

Picked her up last week. Just changed the spark plugs, oil, and trans oil. New suspension and adjacent parts incoming. The seat bushings also need changing. Keeping her mostly OEM this go around.

Currently sitting at 114k miles.

Have had an e46, e90, f32, e39, g05, and now this little e36/7. Attached a pic of my old z4, too.

Broken take-down lug

The mat9 has ran fine, mostly, but suffered a few FTF issues on the most recent range trip. After taking it apart to clean, I noticed two large cracks on the take-down lug.

2 questions:

How common is this issue?

Will ordering the new “EZTS” fix this problem?
