An integral part on E46 M3 is the rear chassis "V-Brace" (BMW # 33312229899) found on all 2001-06 Convertibles and Coupe (including the CSL). This brace attaches to the outward points of the rear chassis and to the area near the rear subframe carrier. Since some of these vehicles are now over 20 years old, we have been seeing more and more of these start to rust away. We began studying the OEM part, curious as to why they were starting to rust away. We found that the two arms of the "V" are made from 38mm x 12mm (1.5" x 0.5") hollow square steel tubing, pressed ends and welded to a junction plate joining them with welds holding the arms at a specific angle. Since the arms are hollow, it helps keep the overall weight down, but does little to prevent corrosion since it is difficult to paint/coat a hollow tube. A Google search turned up very little other than used ones on eBay and new ones that turned out to be in short supply from the BMW dealer (not surprising since the car is over 20 years old). Determined to make something better, we began our engineering and R&D process. Goals of our Design; Modular design, since packaging and shipping something this large would probably be too expensive Costs would dictate material and manufacturing methods Lighter weight would be a secondary (or tertiary) goal, but also keeping in mind costs Corrosion resistant, so it would not rust from the inside out, like the OEM version After weighing the material, manufacturing and cost options, we decided to go with a fully CNC'd ACQ 6061-T6 aluminum assembly. The concept is to machine two identical arms (one part number) and have them joined with a "junction plate". The arms would be secured to the plate with Grade 8.8 grade hardware and the entire assembly would include replacement Grade 10.9 hardware to replace the original OEM hardware (which is probably original). Details of our Design; CNC'd 6061-T6 construction, secured with Grade 8.8 socket head cap screws. Included are replacement Grade 10.9 hardware to fit in the factory locations. About 4 lbs. fully assembled weight (vs. 6.25 lbs for OEM), about a 35% weight savings Anodized gray finish Modular design allows for one arm to be removed in case of exhaust removal requirement. Included in the Kit Two (2) arms of the brace assembly (they are idential) One (1) junction plate One (1) red spacer (this goes BETWEEN the brace and the chassis!) Two (2) blue spacers (these goes BETWEEN the brace and the chassis!) Four (4), M10 socket head cap screws Three (3), M10 flanged hex head bolts It is recommended that the holes used to mount the V-brace onto the car be cleaned before installation by running an M10x1.5 tap to clean each of the holes.

Installation of aftermarket suspension components like the Eibach Pro-Kit, Sportline spring kit, or Pro-Street coil-over kit can significantly modify a vehicle's ride height and suspension geometry. Following such modifications, wheel alignment becomes a critical consideration. Lowering a vehicle often results in negative camber, where the top of the tire tilts inward toward the center of the vehicle. While some negative camber can improve traction and cornering grip, excessive negative camber can compromise handling and accelerate tire wear. Eibach offers a range of Pro-Alignment kits to address this issue, designed to correct excessive negative camber and restore the vehicle's alignment to factory specifications. These kits not only bring the camber within acceptable limits but also offer additional adjustment options for experienced tuners to fine-tune the alignment for performance-oriented driving. Proper alignment ensures precise turn-in, crisp handling, and enhanced high-speed stability, crucial for performance driving enthusiasts.

Reinforces the strut towers against deformation while adding valuable triangulation to the front end for sharper, more predictable handling. Designed to prevent “mushrooming” and other distortion caused by rough roads or stiff suspension setups, these plates help maintain consistent suspension geometry by reducing unwanted chassis flex. The result? A more stable, confidence-inspiring front end under load. Strut tower plates are engineered to sit perfectly flush against the towers. If they don’t, it’s a sign the towers have experienced some deformation. In minor cases, this can often be corrected using a block of wood and a hammer to carefully restore the mounting surface.

This E46 325Xi/330Xi front control arm is a direct replacement for the original part and is the OEM Lemforder brand. The E46 Xi front control is a special design borrowed from the E34 525Xi (sold in Europe) but still similar to other E46 cars. Therefore, it still suffers the same ball joint issues as the other 3-series models.

Control arms, and the associated ball joints, are some of the most crucial components on a BMW suspension. The control arms literally control the wheel and suspension as they go through their range of motions. A faulty or worn control arm or ball joint is a very dangerous and potentially life-threatening problem so make sure they are inspected and replaced at regular intervals. For a street-driven car we advise yearly inspection and a full replacement every 3-4 years. For track-driven cars these should be inspected before every event and replaced every two years.

On the Xi we also recommend replacing the inner ball joints and rear bushings when changing the control arms. The ball joints are designed to be replaced separately and the bushings are mounted at the back of the control arm. Both are high-wear parts and easily replaced with the control arm off the car.

OEM Lemförder is an engineering company that focuses on high-quality, precision manufacturing of critical suspension and steering components. Providing exceptionally high quality parts directly to BMW, as well as 50+ other big name automotive companies, such as Mercedes and Audi, their history of reliability and variety of offered parts makes them one of the biggest names for a go-to OEM parts provider. Lemförder parts place an important emphasis on design, production, and assembly, ensuring maximum reliability. They even coat all parts possible with corrosion protection for extended longevity.

As a leading source of high performance BMW parts and accessories since 1993, we at Turner Motorsport are honored to be the go-to supplier for tens of thousands of enthusiasts the world over. With over two decades of parts, service, and racing experience under our belt, we provide only quality performance and replacement parts.  All of our performance parts are those we would (and do!) install and run on our own cars, as well as replacement parts that are Genuine BMW or from OEM manufacturers. We only offer parts we know you can trust to perform!

Control arms, and their integrated ball joints, are some of the most crucial components on a BMW suspension. The control arms literally control the wheel and suspension as they go through their range of motions. A faulty or worn control arm or ball joint is a very dangerous and potentially life-threatening problem so make sure they are inspected and replaced at regular intervals. For a street-driven car we advise yearly inspection and a full replacement every 3-4 years. For track-driven cars these should be inspected before every event and replaced every two years.

For BMW E46 (3 Series), Z4, and X3, upgrading to Powerflex rear subframe rear bushings is an effective way to improve the durability and handling of the suspension system. Powerflex polyurethane bushings are a popular upgrade over the factory rubber bushings, offering enhanced performance and longevity, particularly for cars used in performance driving or that are susceptible to subframe wear.

Features and Benefits of Powerflex Rear Subframe Rear Bushings:

  • High-Performance Polyurethane Material: Powerflex bushings are constructed from polyurethane, which is significantly more resistant to deterioration than rubber. Polyurethane is less affected by elements like heat, road debris, and oils, ensuring that the bushings maintain their performance characteristics for much longer.
  • Enhanced Handling Precision: One of the primary benefits of polyurethane bushings is reduced subframe movement. By replacing the flexible rubber bushings with stiffer polyurethane versions, you’ll experience sharper handling, more precise suspension response, and improved chassis control, especially during hard acceleration, cornering, and braking.
  • Reduced Subframe Flex: The rear subframe is subjected to significant forces, particularly under high-performance driving conditions. Powerflex bushings help reduce the flex that can occur in the subframe, keeping the rear end more stable, improving vehicle control, and enhancing cornering performance.
  • Longevity and Reliability: Powerflex bushings are engineered to outlast the stock rubber bushings by a significant margin. They are designed to endure the demands of high-performance driving without deteriorating, which leads to fewer replacements over the life of the vehicle.
  • Optimized NVH Balance: While stiffer than rubber bushings, Powerflex designs its bushings to minimize the increase in noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). This ensures that the bushings provide improved handling without compromising ride comfort, making them suitable for daily drivers as well as performance-focused cars.

Installation Considerations:

  • Direct Replacement: Powerflex bushings are manufactured to be direct replacements for the factory bushings, meaning they fit into the stock locations without modification. However, accessing the rear subframe for installation can be a complex task, often requiring the subframe to be dropped, so professional installation is recommended.
  • Subframe Reinforcement: For vehicles like the BMW E46, known for rear subframe cracking, many owners choose to upgrade their bushings alongside subframe reinforcement plates. This combination helps prevent the stress fractures that can occur in the mounting points.

Applications:

  • BMW E46 (3 Series)
  • BMW Z4 (E85/E86)
  • BMW X3 (E83)

Suitable For:

  • Daily Driving and Performance Use: Whether you're using your BMW for spirited street driving or taking it to the track, Powerflex rear subframe rear bushings provide improved handling and stability without significantly increasing NVH.
  • Subframe Longevity: If your car is prone to subframe issues or you want to take preventive measures, upgrading to these bushings will help reduce the wear on critical suspension components, extending the life of the subframe and related parts.

By upgrading to Powerflex rear subframe rear bushings, BMW E46, Z4, and X3 owners can expect improved handling, reduced subframe flex, and longer-lasting suspension performance, making it an ideal upgrade for both street and track use. These bushings strike a great balance between enhancing performance while maintaining daily driving comfort.

For the BMW E46 M3, upgrading the rear subframe front bushings is a smart move for both performance enhancement and preventive maintenance. The rear subframe is a critical component in the E46 M3’s suspension system, and using stronger, more durable bushings helps to ensure the car’s longevity and improve its overall handling dynamics.

Features and Benefits of Upgraded Rear Subframe Front Bushings:

  • Enhanced Strength and Durability: Upgraded bushings, like those from Powerflex or AKG Motorsport, are made from materials such as polyurethane or even solid aluminum. These materials are much stronger than the stock rubber bushings, which tend to wear out, crack, and degrade over time due to exposure to heat, road grime, and oils.
  • Improved Handling Performance: By installing stiffer bushings, the rear subframe's movement is reduced, resulting in a more connected and responsive feel from the chassis. This leads to better handling, sharper cornering, and more precise suspension performance under load, making it ideal for track use or spirited street driving.
  • Increased Rear End Stability: With stronger bushings, the subframe stays more securely mounted to the chassis, reducing the flex that can occur during hard acceleration or cornering. This helps to enhance the rear end’s stability, giving drivers more confidence, especially in high-performance driving scenarios.
  • Protection Against Subframe Issues: The E46 M3 is notorious for rear subframe issues, where cracks can develop in the subframe mounting points over time. Upgrading the bushings helps distribute forces more evenly, reducing the likelihood of stress fractures and extending the life of the subframe.
  • Long-Term Solution: High-quality polyurethane or solid bushings are designed to last much longer than the OEM rubber ones. They provide a long-lasting upgrade that doesn’t degrade quickly, making them a "fit-and-forget" solution for many drivers.

Installation and Considerations:

  • Direct OEM Replacement: These upgraded bushings are designed to replace the factory bushings without the need for modification. However, installation can be labor-intensive, as the rear subframe must be dropped to access the bushings.
  • Reinforcement Opportunity: Since the E46 M3 is known for subframe cracking, many owners opt to upgrade their bushings in combination with rear subframe reinforcement plates, which are welded to the chassis to prevent cracks from forming. This makes it an ideal time to tackle both issues together.
  • Minimal Increase in NVH: Polyurethane bushings are stiffer than rubber but generally do not add a significant amount of noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH). However, solid aluminum bushings, while offering the highest performance, can introduce more NVH, which may not be ideal for daily driving.

Best Applications:

  • Performance Upgrades: If you're modifying your E46 M3 for track use, autocross, or performance street driving, upgrading to stiffer rear subframe front bushings is a must for better handling and durability.
  • Preventive Maintenance: Even if you're not tracking your car, replacing worn-out bushings with polyurethane or solid bushings can help prevent subframe issues and extend the life of your suspension system.
