    gary so nicely put this post together a while back to summarize info on the VinceBar and why the E46 rear subframe mounting points suck:

    What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

    I guess I can only go by my experience. LOL I drove my 2003 ZHP softly 98% of the time. The RACP was fine after 180k miles. When everything was taken out due to a writeoff. The chassis was stripped for recycling. I must have been the lucky one!

    As I've seen now that plate installation has matured in some E46s, cracks are developing outside of the plates. The whole RACP is weak so plates just move the weakness to another location. I have a Vincebar sitting in my house for installation this year as it makes plate reinforcement obsolete as far as longevity. You can keep using your car in the mean time because the next weak point hasn't been torqued on as much. You'll have only prolonged it so when it's time for new bushings, put in a correct/bulletproof fix. It'll be happy sailing for the chassis after that.

    I am probably the only one on here who doesn't really care about the RACP. "If it cracks, it cracks". I'll just get another car if it becomes a problem.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.
