Based on a posting to the St. Louis BMW Club Forum by Tim Severine BACKGROUND I made a DIY over on another forum so I thought I would share. This was such a huge pain that I never want to do it again. I’m glad that the reinforcements are in though and I don’t have to worry about it anymore. I always ask my wife why she lets me do things like this and she always gives me that “look.” Well anyway, here it is. So, there is a DIY for subframe reinforcement on this M3forum, but it doesn’t go into much detail, so I thought I would give it a go and take pictures along the way. I would not recommend this to everyone. In fact, I would tell most people to pay a reputable shop to do this. After all the hours I’ve put into this, it would have made more financial sense to just pay a shop. All together, it’s taken me a couple days to complete everything while doing this on my back in the garage. If you can’t swap a motor, I wouldn’t recommend doing this. My body hurts and I’ve used more foul language than appropriate. Anyway, on to the fun. THE PROJECT Getting started: I decided to do the 3M epoxy method on the Turner plates as I felt it would be stronger than welding and prevent rust. I bought the 3M 80118 at an automotive paint supply store. You’ll also need the applicator gun to use it. I already had one, but the auto supply store has them for $40-50. You’ll also need an angle grinder with cutting discs and sand paper discs. For paint, I decided to us POR-15. This stuff was recommended by everyone and is said to be the best for stopping and preventing rust. The last thing I want, is to look under my car in 5 years and see rust forming. I topped the POR-15 with their rubberized undercoating for extra protecting. All bushings were from AKG. I went with the black bushings as I track my car often, but still want a livable ride. Lift the rear of the car in the air and put it on jack stands. Take the wheels off, yada, yada, yada. Make sure the car is stable and in a safe spot because it will stay here for a few days minimum. We need to get the brake fluid line above the trailing arm. When we lower the subframe, we don’t want the brake line tearing out of the caliper. I disconnected the line very quickly, move the hose around to the topside of the trailing arm, and connected it back to the caliper to hang in a safe spot. Then we need to disconnect the wheel speed sensors (black wire) and the brake pad wear sensor (green wire on pass side). They are attached to the trailing arms by black plastic clips. Disconnect them and start working your way to the front of the car and pull them out of the way. I wrapped mine around the jack stands for safe keeping. Feeling tired yet? We’re just getting started. Now we need to disconnect the driveshaft. It take torx sockets to get the bolts out. You’ll need to stick the car in gear so you can get leverage on the bolts. Take 3 out, then put the car in neutral, rotate driveshaft 180′, remove remaining bolts. After the bolts are loose, you need to use two screwdrivers to pry the driveshaft out of the differential flange. Be careful here, the flange is full of axle grease. Carefully pry back and forth until the driveshaft pops loose. At this time, the driveshaft will be loose, but you won’t be able to remove it because there is too much pressure on it from the driveline. You’ll need to remove the CSB, or Center Support Bearing. Remove the nuts and lower the CSB.
