Completing the Subframe Reinforcement | E46 M3

[@MKylander]

Great job! Only thing that bothers me is that you didn't use any weld thru primer for the reinforcement plates. Even though you used the sealant, I would still worry about it rusting between the surfaces.

[@JustPit]

2:34 Perfect song choice! "So fragile, like it was built to break..." 🤣👍🏻

[@elena-alexandratomas3868]

Love it how your dad is helping out too

[@thomasarussellsr]

Three out of four mounting points had cracks? Nice design vs weight savings, BMW engineering. Nice repair, Kyle.

[@dokterkarel]

this dude knows what he's doing!

[@sircox68]

Have you checked out redish Motorsport on YT, they are a very good source of info regarding this topic. I fear you might have totally neglected the notorious spotwelds failing while you had the underbody exposed. It’s crucial to understand what’s happening back there when you hit the accelerator! Otherwise your hard work is not going to payoff for very long, especially when you going to hit the track... and if you thinking of installing a cage, do it proper, weld it in and make sure to integrate these mounting points to stiffen it up! Cheers

Join the M3 Facebook groups bother we could have helped you! CMP, and Reddish plates are a permanent fix unlike turner; however to fix separation issues you’ll need a mason/Vince bar

[@Kapil-Patel]

Good job Kyle, subframe can handle some more power now ;)

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Congratulations Kyle. It sounds like a champ. Are you still driving the car? If so have any new subframe issues arisen?

[@stillrecklessdriving]

I can't imagine. These subframe plates are more than enough. Throw in a Vince bar or x brace and you'll never even think of subframe issues.

[@dannyhansen9954]

Sounds like it got a straight cut gearbox 😂

[@tolgac9975]

Great video, I actually like the whining the car makes sounds like it’s supercharged.

[@louisgroenewald9927]

4F position - nicely done brother

[@cedt1403]

Great video. What car lift are you using?

[@qehrman]

Good to see ur work 🥰

[@Moonshine5.7]

Hell yeah man. Bad ass build.

[@rickyaustin5757]

Well done mate, I’ve just bought an e46 m3 here in the U.K..

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

Why don’t you make anymore videos

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

Great series! You got a new sub!

[@teslam3chennel]

Nicely done friend, I'm thinking to do mine as well. Where can I get the hydraulic jack?

[@dongkyukim3580]

I know you mentioned turner is sponsoring this video but have you considered reddish plates? if so, why did you decide against it?

[@christierdei]

What welding machine did you used? Did you rent it?

[@iprofessionalsinc.1160]

Kick ass video! Thanks Kyle. I would like to do this for my M, but I do not know how to weld, nor do I have a welder. I may have to find someone to help out!

[@pacobeco]

Nice job!!

[@papolosa75]

Hi Kyle, can you share what welder and settings you used for this job. Thanks

[@josgoojosgoo]

9:42 "twerk down all of the blah.... bushings" lmfao

[@betonthis1]

It would seem the best thing would be one long solid plate for that entire brace. I wonder why this was never a recall? I am a new fan to the e46 so I don't know the entire history but seems this happened to all M3 E46

[@minuevoluck8197]

what a good job congratulations!!

[@albin6882]

nice job! Did you remove any interior before welding? Thinking of doing this with my own m3 and just curious if it's something you need to do.

[@anders949494]

you drrilled the ends of that cracks and then welded them before putting plates on top?

[@rusyaidijefri4263]

I assume that whining noise came from the diff, cause of solid bushing won't flex to take the diff gear's vibration

[@АлексейФишер-р6ы]

Hi from Russian!!! nice supercar)))))

[@omerbbM5]

Congratulations good work ,beautiful musics 👍😎

[@chipkipperly]

Are you assuming the whine is from the diff with fresh oil or is it something else?

[@aksman1964]

Well done bro 👍🏼

[@DaveMsport]

Change the diff bushes to oem rather than solid and will reduce the whine loads. Solid subframe bushes don't effect it that much really. Grewt job, it's a pity didn't research it a little more however and address the issue properly to prevent the whole panel flexing rather than just repair the local cracks around the subframe.

[@andpla563]

how long did this job take you?

[@beetuber6114]

excellent work!

[@lucabergantino6894]

Dear Kyle, can I have info about your lifter please? I would like to place something similar into my garage. thanks

[@Psyge84]

Solid subframe bushes so thats why you hear all the noises like that whining noise inside cabin. Or atleast you camera picking up them. :)

[@SendingStache]

nicely done!

[@josuelynch458]

looks great and I think its awesome how you do pretty much everything yourself. lastly a question, do you have any engine mods planned?

[@johnDe5tr0yer]

Can anybody explain why those solid bushings have so little surface contacting the subframe? It makes sense on rubber ones, but on the solid ones I don't see the reason not to provide more contact surface. This is a serious question, not trying to flame or anything. Thanks in advance! EDIT: by the way, whine noise may be coming from the center driveshaft bearing, you changed the guibo, but not the bearing itself.

[@mavricxx]

Man, I love that lift, gotta get me one of them!. Is it run by an electric air compressor hooked up to an outlet or hardwired to you electric panel?. Like your idea of hanging the wheels too, gonna look for something similar, great video man. Does the car feel more planted than before?

[@thomasbummer4361]

thats a good thing to do, my E36 M cracked there (long ago but it did lol)

[@pedrovargas5071]

Whats the name of the blue jack you ha e and the one you used for the subframe?

[@genewallace6456]

Im 80k Subscriber 80k thousand on your way to 100 k brother love the work on the BMW

[@serkansari1398]

nice work

[@MSchumacherfan]

How many miles on the car.

[@kinggrizzlygaming4030]

Do a drift car build

[@IdEk5627]

I didnt see u put in fluid in the diff unless u put it in off camera but that would cause some whining

[@xavierpulikkathara221]

What else have you done to the car??

[@zachgsnow3693]

What rims are thoes

[@anders949494]

remember to get a wheel alignment

[@valentincravcenco4127]

not bad .not bad .bellissimo

[@CameronHall-wq9tk]

Dat dirt moustache at 6:09 tho...

[@benjamindavidson632]

Hey get a welding hat so you don't don't that beautiful Clooney hair hahaha

[@xXxMichixXx313]

insane

[@anders949494]

[@mfadzlijamaluddin]

Whining like straight cut gears

[@MrSant67]

Why fast forward and then add shit music. Just cut from scene to scene

[@fastland1301]

Nicely done friend, I'm thinking to do mine as well. Where can I get the hydraulic jack?
