awesome video, still makes me angry that theres not a recall on this some
how!!
How did you clean the car underneath so good ?
Hi, When I make a low speed right or left turn from a stop i’ve been
noticing some noise from the rear, It feels like it’s coming from the
differencial. This would be the chassis cracking that you mean?
Hi, nice video, thanks for the info. At 2:11, I do not think the cracks are
caused by the rubber hitting the sheet metal, It is a design flaw made by
the engineers, There is more stress at that point the thin metal should
have been reinforced at the factory.
Just curious, but is this repair more on prevention than cure? Im assuming
it’s a cure judging by the description of repairs. Cheers.
Thanks, This is very good info. I suffer from some hairline cracks myself
on my 2004 E46 M3 with only 68,000 miles. Its a shame!
I hate to burst your bubble but about 4mins 30 seconds in it shows the
mounting bolt of the front right subframe bolt hanging out of the chassis
with a hex tight to the floor of the car.. if the powerflex bushes are flat
on top, then all of the weight when loaded goes onto that bolt, not the
floor… or am I missing something?

what happens if you just leave it and don’t repair it?
The E46 looks much more robust than the E36 IMHO. I would put in the
Signature Motoring performance intake kit for only around $150 and gain up
to 13HP on the stock output for the 330i and a bit less for the 325 and
328. I highly recommend this item, see my youtube channel for the action
video on it. -Installs in round 45min. -Guaranteed HP increase -Induction
sound to die for -Awesome fit/finish. See my video of how it sounds AND
performs!
