BMW E36 Subframe Floor Reinforcement V2 PRO, Extended

This E36 subframe floor reinforcement V2 PRO is the extended version for the BMW E36. On the E36, the floor around the rear subframe mounting points cracks all too often, especially with a stiffly set-up suspension or with sporty use such as drifting, racing and trackdays. This weld-in kit solves that problem permanently.

The kit is intended for the E36 saloon, Touring, coupé and convertible. If you have the rear axle out of the car anyway for an overhaul or a build, you can reinforce the floor this way at the same time.

Installation and delivery

For a permanent result, the V2 PRO subframe floor reinforcement has to be welded in. The parts are made so that you tap them against the floor with a hammer, without needing much force. This way they also fit neatly when the body has deviated slightly from the factory dimensions over the years.

Clean the floor thoroughly down to bare metal and leave the welding to someone with experience. Afterwards, treat the seams and the surrounding floor against rust, and if the panel is cracked, also check the subframe bushes.

A cracked subframe floor is something you repair properly once, with steel that supports a larger area.

Why choose the E36 subframe floor reinforcement V2 PRO?

In drifting and on track, the rear axle of the E36 puts large forces on a relatively thin floor. The V2 PRO spreads that load over a larger area than a simple plate. That makes it the logical choice for a car that is driven hard or has already suffered from cracks. Because the parts can be tapped into place, the fit is good even on an old body.
