Te crash seems to be so severe that the engine and gearbox feel out

Mentioned above.

I reckon it’s an E46 3 series. RWD and those trailing arms.

No engine or gearbox either. Guess it all fell out at the same time. There is a diff though.

that's what clued me to the propshaft TBH. Then thought there was a missing gearbox... exhaust looks quite weird too

Interesting you mention the trailing arms. I wondered whether the wheels have been braced to keep them up and square to the body. It looks like there are brackets and supports?
That’s the standard training and camber arms for an E46. I’ve spent too much time under these cars unfortunately. smile
