Any subframe work or reinforcement project on the rear of the E46 M3 should include a new set of subframe mounts. It's the worn rubber bushings that contribute to failed rear subframes on the E46 (but not the only reason). As the rubber gets worn, there is more flex to the mount. This flexing is then transferred to the sheetmetal in the floor where the spot welds will pop and the sheetmetal will crack. Additional force coming from stiffer suspensions and stickier tires will only increase the flexing of the mounts/chassis.

Of course, stiffer mounts would help prevent this problem but with a stiffer bushing comes ride harshness, vibration, and additional noise. Our engineers and technicians recommend replacement with the factory rubber bushings (along with the appropriate reinforcement of the floor). The rubber bushings help isolate bumps and impacts and are quiet. They are also a perfect fitment and require no maintenance.

The OE thrust plate is more than just a belly panel that covers your oil pan; it plays a crucial role in chassis rigidity, impact safety, and handling dynamics. BMW emphasizes that a vehicle should not be driven or moved without the thrust panel in place due to its importance.

Inspired by BMW's upgrade of the front bumper carrier on the E46 M3 from aluminum to Kevlar during their LCI update, we have made a similar enhancement to the thrust plate with our RKP Carbon Front Thrust Panel.

Product Details:

Multi-layered for optimal rigidity and durability 20% stiffer and 50% lighter than the OE panel Reflective exhaust heat shielding included Replaces the large, heavy aluminum OE panel
