Mine too, I have a 90 M3 that has a "mushroomed" schock tower.  I also have
a bent strut and a bump in the floor from a previous owners offroad excursion.
I've talked with another M3 owner that recently had this repaired on his car.
They pulled his tower out and down and then used a Cellete frame bench which 
somehow checks frame alignment, cost $925 !
I'm looking for a strut for mine and not quite sure if I want to tackle the 
tower repair or take it to a shop.
