e46 Rear SubFrame Reinforcement Kit Installation DIY using Epoxy

Welcome to Auto Avenues!
This is a do it yourself video where we go through how to reinforce the BMW E46 subframe mounting points using the epoxy and reinforcement plate method. The car we used in the video is a 2003 BMW E46 M3 Coupe. The plates we used were BimmerWorld, and the epoxy used is 3M 08115.

[@EuroBoard]

Hi there did u just used 1 pack of 3m epoxies? Thanks

[@karltuto]

Did you found the answer ? :D

[@bryce-skids917]

OG jb weld for the win, worth 20 bucks

[@lesafighter]

what is the thickness of the metal plates from the kit ?

[@elbaron51]

Can you weld them after Apoxsee is apply

[@Hotdog80085]

No lol

[@bryce-skids917]

Uhh no

[@riccardodefina9551]

Is still works?

[@AutoAvenues]

5 years and many, many autocross events later the Epoxy is holding up amazingly well!

[@riccardodefina9551]

@@AutoAvenues thank you

[@wdiddy1]

If these repairs work why did the Vince Bar come out that costs $700? Don't get why I would pay 4 times more?

[@KI-tm8jg]

Because his repair doesn't do shit. You atleast need to weld the perimeter of the reinforcment plate.

[@AutoAvenues]

@@KI-tm8jg 5 years of serious auto-crossing would say otherwise. If you weld you 'only get perimeter and rosette contact'. Epoxy gets complete plate contact. Pick what feels best for you, though.

"Rear driver side... In America... I guess it's the passenger side if you're in Europe" Wait, what?

[@j0wt0ng]

Dude probably thinks that Europe is a country.. Not that there 44 countries IN Europe and only few drives on the left.. Not the first time i have seen american thinking that 🤦‍♂️

Well i can see multiple broken spot welds and some hair line cracks. You seriously need to watch some Reddish Motorsport videos and better educate yourself. Most of the issues are hidden in cavities and under seam sealer.

[@AutoAvenues]

Thanks Russell. I've watched all the Reddish Motorsport videos. Top notch stuff from those guys.
