Product Information

Prevent costly subframe damage

These are the Genuine BMW subframe reinforcement plates designed for use on the E36 M3.

These were designed by BMW to reinforce the sheet metal where the chassis mounts to the rear subframe, a common weak point of the E36 chassis. This will aid in the prevention of a costly tear of the rear chassis.

These tears are caused by the fatigue of the chassis' sheet metal at the subframe mounting points. this fatigue is the result of shear forces exerted on the sheet metal by slight rotation of the subframe (moment force) caused by drivetrain torque. The subframe is allowed to rotate a bit to dampen shock on the differential and drivetrain, but this movement is increased in degrees of rotation and force with the application of more power, hard driving, or worn out differential and subframe bushings.

This reinforcement kit is a must if you use your E36 for the track or autocross, and is highly recommended for those who enjoy even the occasional "spirited" drive. Neglecting the installation of this kit can result in very costly subframe repairs in the future.

Professional installation or welding expertise required. Removal of rear subframe and differential required.

Note: Welding is required, professional installation is recommended.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
