BMW 318ti Subframe reinforcement
  • BMW E36 318ti
  • Rear Crossmember Reinforced
  • Rinforced Sway bar brackets

    The E36 318ti is quickly becoming a popular car for M motor swaps. With these higher horsepower motor swaps (with the potential for bolting on even more power), these cars have a few trouble spots that need to be addressed properly to keep the subframe crossmember from developing problems.

    One of the biggest issues with the M drivetrain swap into the 318ti chassis is the crossmember clearance for the differential housing bolt. Many will simply notch the crossmember, some will "clearance" the bolt with a BFH, some just let the bolt contact the crossmember. All of these meathods will lead to a stress point in the crossmember, which will soon lead to cracking to the factory hole located in the crossmember.

We normally replace the factory crossmember with 2 pieces of 1.25x2.5" steel tubing, however, the owner wanted to add as much weight as possible in the rear so heavier tubing was used (and then filled with steel rod to increase the weight).
