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.

Revshift billet aluminum subframe bushings completely replace the oem rubber bushings on the BMW E82, E90, E91, E92, and E93 including the M3, 1M, and XI models. These bushings solid mount the rear subframe reducing wheel hop and improving the vehicles handling capabilities. The two piece bushing design sandwiches the subframe locking it in place. It will not shift on the bushings while driving like the one piece designs allow. They are CNC machined at Revshift in the USA from 6061-T6 billet aluminum.
