Yes I also agree epoxy plates on rather than weld but drill crack to stop it spreading.

I repaired my cars cracks this week. I think the floor should have been replaced but due to lack of skilled workshops and because I couldnt find anybody around here that has done it, I did it myself.

I got the turner plates and I did the Structure/cavity foam. Drove it with the rear seats out after letting it stand for 30hrs and heard a squeek (another crack below the rear seats) welded that up and finally its solid again...

I wish I just did the foam before all the cracks. If one mount fails it puts huge preasure on the rest untill they also fail....
I have pics to prove it.....

Left rear mount

Right Front mount

After welding

After sealant and Primer

Inside cracks where squeek came from

I am also going to fill cavity's right under the inside weld with a hard rubber compound just to be safe.

In e46 M3 o E46 CSL ?

it happens to both M3 and m3csl (and could happen to Jims CS) . It looks like they change the full boot floor pan, although I haven't had chance to look under the car to check out the full BMW warranty fix

Oh I did not know that it can create such big trouble.
