Might as well replace all your bushings (if you haven't done this already) while you're there Tony

I will be replacing the bushings

so did you buy this donor?

I didn't purchase it. It was on Craigslist and I only inquired about the lcm as hoping it had the 4.0 or 4.5. Eventually in 2 weeks I got this great deal to do the project.

Tony,

No need to drop the subframe to replace the RSM's.

It's easier

If you stare at that subframe you can tell its a little "different"

Sweet, where did you buy this, copart.com?

Someone else is parting it.

Dude that M diff/subframe is going to be sweet! Congrats on the work.

Sure will be with the ///M brakes too

Jealous you got the front brakes to pull apart at your disposal too.

Did you remove the abs sensors as well?

Yep pulled everything and it should be a easy swap once I replace all the bushings at the same time.

No I don't have the funds for the S54. I would rather super charge the ZHP rather then doing a engine swap.

Congrats man. LSD will awake the zhp

Thank you but only 1/3 of the work is done for now. I still have to drop my rear and have it reinforce. Replace all the bushings and then swap in the subframe and brakes. So lots of work left and probably won't get to it till June.

Agreed. :D

Then Tony you can add M Track Mode to it :D

looks great, tony. good call on getting the entire M3 rear end.

how are you reinforcing the rear floor? i'm going to do the foam fill, it makes the most sense to me (assuming i have no cracks larger than 20mm), and also install poly rear subframe/diff mounts as well (also makes sense, to better distribute the load).

Subframe reinforcement from tuner and welding. I probably will just do oem rubber for comfort.

I'm comparing two subframe reinforcement kits right now. One from tunermotorsport which seems like the overall recommended one. The other is from AKG since everyone has been talking about their bushings and stuff.





Overall they both seem pretty well made. Does anyone got any other recommendations for a subframe reinforcement? I am planning to get all this done probably around June time.
