Description
BMW e46 Rear Subframe Repair Reinforcement KitAfter many installations this kit has been upgraded for the most universal fit possible. Know that when you purchase my kits, your getting the benefit of my experience getting them to fit as well as possible. This kit is specifically designed to reinforce the e46 3 series rear subframe, including the 325, 328 and 330 i and ci versions and yes, the M3 . These plates for the subframe reinforcement are the heavier 12 gauge (min .100 or 2.5mm), Many other kits are the lighter 14 gauge (.073 or 1.85mm ). If you have shredded and ripped the frame, these kits are not for you. They are meant to reinforce or repair mild cracks that have been welded and repaired. I supply these to several local shops and we have all had great success with these, including the Spec E46 racecars.
Installation will require minor grinding or heavy sanding. It may also require welding depending on your technique. You may decide to include the use a strong adhesive epoxy such as 3M 08115. If you don't have access to a welder, there is at least one video on You Tube detailing the installation using only the epoxy method. I prefer and recommend using the epoxy, letting it cure for 24 hours, then spot weld the plates in 4 to 6 places. You will have to decide what is a good option for your E46.
The installation of these parts is the sole responsibility of the purchaser/owner. I am not including directions.

Payment
I accept PayPal in US$. Payment must be made within one day of close of auction.
Shipping
I offer USPS Priority shipping and will ship within 1 day of receiving payment. I try to ship the same day if funds are received prior to the mailman coming by. Most kits will arrive to you within 3 days, many in 2 days depending on your location. Sorry, we are only able to ship to the continental US and Puerto Rico at this time.
Please note that I have been selling these for over 5 years, have sold over 275 sets with 100% buyer satisfaction. These are the original plates of this design which I have personally developed to fit all ranges of the E46 chassis. I'm not a big company. I'm a guy that enjoys cars that has been building and racing the E46's. Mine are USA made, built with high quality US steel and each set gets a bit of personal attention because I know it's going on someones e46 that they care about. I work out of my home, have these kits boxed up ready to go and get them in the next available USPS pickup. They are sent USPS Priority mail, which costs me just a little more, but you will get the kit in usually two days, 3 days to outlying areas. Please consider supporting me with a USA product where you know the plates are made with USA made quality grade steel for the best installation possible!
