Actually it would be interesting to conduct a survey. It may be more common than you think. I’ve done it as have at least a couple of others in MW/GL.
BMW E30 Front Subframe Reinforcement Kit
I’ve got the reinforcements on my car too, but I have the AKG parts which look exactly the same as these. AKG had them on sale and Garagistic wasn’t around yet. There is a time in the build or just when replacing worn parts on your car that removing the front subframe is just a couple extra steps. The first 6 years of my cars track life I didn’t run them and my subframe didn’t suffer, but I’ve seen pics on the forums of stock M42 cars cracking the subframe at the motor mount. So it’s really just cheap insurance, especially if you are planning on running solid motor mounts.
Order them…
Well we have them in stock. We also offer the tig weld service or a subframe “trade in”. Give us your original undamaged sub frame and get a reinforced sub frame (powder coat option is available too). We are located in huntington beach CA.
I have the reinforcements on my front subframe as well. I don’t remember what make they are though.
We offer tig welding service at our location in Huntington beach. Bring in your spare subframe and we will get it done!
Tracking sent. Please leave a review on our website.
We also offer welding service to those who need it!
We now have a “reinforce everything on the e30 kit” Basically includes all the reinforcements for more savings.
