Blown Shocks?
Today I was taking a long left hand corner at 100MPH or so, and the car just got soft. The entire suspension wollows now. The car feels disconnected, and the the steering response is softer than stock. I am running the Eibach Pro-Dampners, ProKit springs, and vorschlag camber plates. The suspension has around 45-50k miles on it. (estimating, I've put 25k miles on it since i bought it, second hand). Im thinking about swapping the Eibach stuff back out for my factory MSport shocks and springs, witht the camber plates as a temporary solution. What are your thoughts? You can see my mods in my signature. I already have the M3 RSFB and M3 front sway bar.

Might be blown shocks, worn shock mounts, worn control arm bushings, or something. You might want to just get your entire suspension checked out.

ADAC has a drive-on inspection truck that can dyno test your shocks. Its free for ADAC members.
 Maybe you just broke a swaybar end link?

I'd get your car in the air, check the end links, and check the control arms for controlled failure. Sounds like something is out of normal geometry more than anything. I don't think you'd get proper synchronized bushing wind-up if something was seriously out of whack.
Wish we had something like ADAC here.

Funny... while searching for another topic... I ran across these old thread. They might be helpful. I was wondering IF maybe you switched over from RFT(winter tires) to maybe regular summer(non RFT's) tires? Or maybe your tire pressure is way off?
Some threads of interest... http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=881638 http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=805993
