Differential Support Bracket

The Active Autowerke Differential Support Bracket (DSB) is engineered to reinforce the differential mounting on BMW E36 models, specifically targeting the common failure point of the main mounting bolt. This component acts as a critical upgrade for enthusiasts who push their vehicles, whether for track use, drag racing, or spirited driving, where the stock mounting bolt is prone to bending or breaking. Constructed from heavy-gauge stainless steel, the DSB offers exceptional strength and durability to withstand the rigors of high-performance driving. It features precision machining and alignment to ensure a perfect fit within the E36 drivetrain. The kit is designed as a true bolt-on solution, simplifying installation for qualified technicians, with an estimated install time of under an hour. A new differential bolt is included in the package for a complete and secure replacement. This support bracket is tested to handle over 500 horsepower, making it suitable for heavily modified vehicles, including those equipped with turbochargers or superchargers. It is recommended for all E36 models experiencing extreme driving conditions or for owners looking to proactively prevent a potential drivetrain failure. The upgrade is gentle on the driveline, providing crucial additional support where it's most needed. The Active Autowerke DSB is compatible with a range of E36 models: BMW 325i (1992-95), BMW 328i (1996-99), and BMW M3 (1995-99). The product is now made from stainless steel and is no longer powder coated.
