Today I show you the usual process I do when it comes to reinforcement of the rear subframe mounting points, for a BMW E46.

This is the most legit and meticulous reinforcement job I’ve seen on a e-46! Great job

I've been watching your channel for a while. I've had my sad e46 sitting in my garage for a couple years now. I ran into vacuum codes and ended up doing work on the entire head, hoses, etc. Long story, she runs but really rough and I personally think it needs a timing alignment. I just don't have the time or energy to get her going. I live in a town with basically no BMW mechanics or community. You're the only real BMW person I know of. If it's something that you do. I sure could use the help. If anything, even if she ends up being a donor car, I'd prefer she went to someone like you.

Hi. Just subscribed. Can you provide a list of the parts used or who the vendors were? I have my subframe out and would like to follow your set up.

I'm guessing strut works parts were ordered from overseas I havent found a supplier here in the US yet, but I like this one.

@John-wu8fc He and his significant other run the business from their home shop over in Europe. They aren't to that level yet, of having suppliers.

Sweet video bud. Quick question how long did it take you to do this? I got a guy who wants this done to his bmw but don't know how much to charge and how long it will take. I am an experienced welder/mechanic. Thanks in advanced for the info

@CaptainVillanueva1 A solid 2 days for basic reinforcement, up to 4 if you're doing bushings, etc etc.

all this needed for a "stock" m54b30 with headers, and a tune? surely the trunk brace, and added points for the front are not needed?
@OLearysBMW3 ай бұрын
Trunk brace and front reinforcements are more important than reinforcement plates from bottom, in my opinion. Can also get other brace variations that tie all the points together.

you gonna document the LS swap process?

Also love your videos! Would you recommend doing front sub frame reinforcements on E46s as well as the rear?

Instead of doing a recall on this, BMW let the customer pay for their design flaw.

@negritorican There was a class action lawsuit. It's been expired for years, these are now a 24+ year old platform after all.
