E320 Wagon Subframe bolt broken!!

So I was trying to change the rear subframe bushings & accumalators on our E320 wagon.

One of the bolts on the subframe (the drivers rear bolt) was corroded badly. I tried PB blaster for a couple of days, but still managed too snap it off. About 2-3" of the bolt is still in there.

Anyone ever had this problem or think of a solution? The car is not in a location where its easy to drop the subframe completely. I have done it on a 500E before twice, so I know how to do it but as I said, its not somewhere I can do it. How can I move the car, with only 3 subframe bolts attached?
