I have read that this might be a more common thing than i thought, im tryiny yo fix it now...

My 92 E36 has ripped the RHF and LHR Rear subframe mounts clean out of the floor. I am lucky enough to have access to a paint and panel shop and they are thinking of welding in new subframe braces. What is the M3 mounts and reinforcement kits i read about?

Its up on the hoist as i write, so a quick responce is a good responce.

Fuck me thats intense!
If the place you have the car at can weld properly then you could weld in new braces. Will definately need to get a wheel alignment once done.

These are the re-reinforcement brackets i have been told about.

Now I gotta source the reinforcement kit, I have been searching for an Australian based part supplier but with no luck, Ideally Brisbane. I am awaiting email from turners with shipping details but meanwhile working through a list of smash repairs to find a local contact.....will post the out come but any ideas always help =)

Right we went with plan "B" - Welded in original mounts but used steel twice the thickness of the body steel, So far clean job, took me 2.5 hours to strip it and 6 hours for the Boilermaker plus shop supplies. Taken 3 days at the workshop so far and I'll be Rustproofing the floor before I reassemble the rear driveline and suspension. In another few months the LSD and new struts will be going in so as i found on the net there are reinforcement/track-spec for most parts of the E36 thanks to M3 technology and the after-market world.

Hope this answers a few questions for anyone in the same situation, a lot of E36 sedans are prone to this suspension fatigue. The joys, now back to the interior. biggrin.gif
