BMW E46 Subframe Floor Reinforcement PRO V2 Facelift

With this subframe floor reinforcement PRO V2 you reinforce or repair the rear floor of the BMW E46 facelift exactly where the rear subframe is attached to the body. That area is a well-known weak spot of the E46: the metal around the mounting points can crack and, in the worst case, tear loose. The set tackles those critical spots in one go.

The subframe floor reinforcement PRO V2 is intended for people who really use their car: drifting, track days or a heavy project build. The design has been tested on a BMW E46 M3 under the highest loads. On a regular E46 it is also a smart job as soon as the suspension or the subframe is off anyway.

Installation and delivery

The parts are welded into the original floor. Because these cars are now well over twenty years old, the dimensions often differ slightly from body to body compared with the factory dimensions. That is why the bends are designed so that you can tap them with a hammer until they sit tightly everywhere. Dry-fit everything first before you start welding.

Leave the welding to an experienced welder. Remove the subframe, strip the metal back to bare steel and check it for existing cracks or rust. After welding, treat everything with good rust protection and a layer of sealer. Also take a look at the simpler weld-in set for the subframe floor of the E46 or the rest of our chassis and subframe reinforcements.

An E46 is only as strong as its rear floor: this set makes sure the subframe stays where it belongs.

Why choose the subframe floor reinforcement PRO V2?

Cracks around the subframe mounting start small, but quickly turn into an expensive repair. The more power, grip and stiffer suspension, the faster it happens. The subframe floor reinforcement PRO V2 addresses all critical points at once, has been proven on an M3 and can be made to fit an older body neatly. That way you do the job properly once instead of patching it again and again.
