This is a problem that plagues a lot of E46's. There are aftermarket solutions, but it requires cutting and welding. If it isn't already cracked, there is a solution involving some very expensive structural epoxy. I was worried my son's 330Ci would have this issue, but we got lucky, and his car just made the cut to get the factory reinforcement. BMW installed a plastic block and epoxied it between some panels to eliminate the amount of flex beginning on 2005 model.
