question on aluminum subframe repair - BMW

Got a customers car in this past week after she called and said she heard a loud noise after driving across a "crevice". Not sure what kind of crevice she went through but she needs something other than her 545I.

Anyway, thoughts, comments on how to repair it is appreciated. I've got a coworker that is capable of welding aluminum. Not sure I want to be responsible for someone welding on this car in my shop. I am considering sending her on to a body shop. Not sure I want to mess with it.

I've attached pics of the good side and the bad side.
