Rogue Engineering - E46 Front Subframe Carrier Reinforcement Kit

Your Price: $65.00
Part Number:RE.E46F.REIN
This reinforcement kit is designed for the front subframe carriers of the E46 (M3 as well as Non-M).  Welding is required.

The kit consists of;
  • Two ball joint reinforcement plates
  • Two engine mount reinforcement plates
  • Two engine mount bracket reinforcement plates
Made from laser cut, cold rolled steel, these are the best option to prevent damage on hard-driven E46s on the street or on the track.

Installation notes;
  1. Having the subframe professionally sandblasted FIRST will make welding a lot cleaner and easier.
  2. When fitting the largest plate (ball joint plate), pre-bend the tabs slightly to get it into plate.  Tack weld it in place.  Once you are satisfied with the position of the plate, minimize the gaps by using a copper-headed mallet.  The closer you form the plate to the subframe surface, the better the weld will be.
  3. Insert the engine mount plate into the pocket and tack in place.  Using punches to get it in may be necessary.  Once in place, use a punch to center the reinforcement plate and engine mount hole together.  Clamp on either side to make sure it is flat in the pocket before tacking in position.
  4. Position the reinforcement over the pocket and tack in place.
  5. Ball joint and pocket reinforcement can now be fully welded.
  6. After welding is completed, we recommend sand blasting and powder coating to protect scuffed areas and to prevent corrosion.
