Overview

The Garagistic E30 Front Subframe Engine Reinforcement Kit is designed to repair or reinforce the mounting ears of the E30 front subframe where the engine mounts attach. This kit addresses the weakness in the front subframe that can lead to failure over time, especially under high-stress loads from track or autocross use.

Over the years, the front subframe can crack around the motor mount area, and this reinforcement kit helps prevent or fix such issues. Installation may require minor grinding due to variations in vehicle histories. Welding is necessary for proper installation.
Show original supplier description
The Garagistic E30 Front Subframe Engine Reinforcement Kit provides a crucial solution for a known weakness in the BMW E30's front subframe. The area where the engine mounts attach to the chassis is susceptible to high-stress loads, which can lead to cracks and eventual failure, particularly in performance driving scenarios like track days and autocross. This kit is specifically engineered for the repair and reinforcement of the E30 front subframe's mounting ears around the engine mount bushing attachment points. It serves as a preventative measure or a repair for existing damage, ensuring the structural integrity of your E30's front end. The kit includes two E30 motor mount plates and two E30 sub-frame gussets. Note that reinforcements may be connected with tabs that require cutting off before installation. Installation of this reinforcement kit requires welding. Additionally, it may necessitate minor grinding due to the unique history and wear of each individual vehicle. Garagistic also offers fully reinforced and freshly re-coated front subframes on a core exchange program for those seeking a complete replacement. Professional installation is recommended for this type of chassis reinforcement work.
