Installation notes

Professional installation is highly recommended. Welding is required, along with professional level sealing and paint work to avoid future rust.

If you want more [...]

level up to stage 3!

You can add a bolt-in front and rear braces upgrades to further transfer loads across the chassis.

For street use, the front brace is an interesting "why not!".

It fits with the rear seats, still allows pass through, and does not compromise rear trunk space.

Build journal: Special Series

BMW M got sued over this.

Thanks to bright engineering minds, the technical understanding of the E46 M3's rear chassis weaknesses have evolved.

A comprehensive top and bottom, front and rear solution is recommended if you intend to keep your E46 M3 forever.

In this Special Series, I document my experiences on the Phoenix's restoration: the theory, the practice, the comprehensive solutions I reviewed, and the one I chose.

Enjoy,
