Shane, I think even with a full cage, long term the problem would still be there.

There's only one solution and as my car doesn't yet have cracks but is beyond the 10 years "goodwill" that seems available from BMW. Having said that, I wouldn't let BMW loose on my car with foam or a replacement floor.

So, I'm going to remove the sub frame, access the bush mounting points, fabricate dowels as Gorilla has mentioned to bridge the floor skins. With welded in dowels, studs fixed and passing though the dowels for bush mounting. A lot of work but I believe the only solution, keeping some sort of originality to the visible floor. Rust prevention will be the concern.
