Unfortunately the major design flaws that lead to cracking in the E46 chassis cannot be reinforced from beneath alone so please check out our E46 Chassis Rail Plates for a hidden and comprehensive topside reinforcement kit. Rod bearings, VANOS, or SMG pumps are not uncommon and not cheap or easy repairs. The E46 might be the most popular M3 chassis to mod by enthusiasts, but like all cars, they have their common problems. Say goodbye to torn subframe mounting The industry standard in weld-in E46 subframe reinforcement. This product is cut from 2mm zincanneal for corrosion resistance and comes with a comprehensive spiral bound instruction book to ensure your reinforcement is comprehensive and permanent. If you have a BMW E46 or are in the market for a used one, you might have heard of the rear subframe issue. Front reinforcement isn't necessary on the E46. This kit was specifically engineered to offer the highest level of strength possible providing significant coverage for better stress distribution and rigidity.Ĭompare our plates to any other and you'll see our bends are precision CNC folded to the precise angle, our bolt holes are spot on and the additional slots line up with factory welds (in black marker). I paid about 3k to have cracks repaired, wheel arch separation repaired, redish plates welded in, topside reinforcement (vince bar + vince cups), and changing every bushing / ball joint in the rear (I paid for those parts separately, but wasn't charged labor). Reinforcing the rear subframe mounts on an E46 chassis is a job you only want to do once and a job worth doing right. We specialise in this department and have spent years refining our chassis reinforcement products to be the best out there!
