look into this front subframe brace. they were used on e36 convertibles and z3’s. good upgrade for any e36.— [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-OEM-e36-X-Brace-Crossmember-Z3-M3-328i-325i-318i\_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5637fb581cQQitemZ370306406428QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-OEM-e36-X-Brace-Crossmember-Z3-M3-328i-325i-318i_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5637fb581cQQitemZ370306406428QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories) call around local salvage yards to try and find it. should be able to scoop it up for 50-100 bucks used. also, look into reinforcing the rear diff cross member. this is a common failure point for cars that are tracked. Although i dont expect to see this car at beaver run, i do expect it to cut some bad ass 60 times. with that said, you will be straining the points that fail by launching the car.— [http://store.bimmerworld.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=bimmerworl&StoreType=BtoC&Count1=243938624&Count2=161079049&ProductID=541&Target=products.asp](http://store.bimmerworld.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=bimmerworl&StoreType=BtoC&Count1=243938624&Count2=161079049&ProductID=541&Target=products.asp) i got some drag suspension ideals too. if you get to that point let me know. i’d like to set up the chassis for drag. a lot of the bmw “drag” setups i have seen have left a lot on the table w/ bad weight transfer on shifts. id really like to set the suspension, corner scale/align a bmw for drag. ---

I would love to try some autocrossing with it. In the long run it will eventually get a solid axle. The main goal is to keep it more of a daily driver tho, but we’ll see. ---

imo no need for a solid axle. if by chance you kill a 3 series diff, go to a 5 or 7 series setup. i dont see you killing enough 3 series rears though to warrant the swap. i know they are a lot stronger than 240 diffs, and we had no problem running 800 to the wheels through one of them. if you are going to autocross–then deffinitely get those weld in braces and the bolt in front. id be more apt to get the rears though. do some searches–thats the weak link on those cars. ---

Yeah that bolt is is cheap enough but I don’t know how it would fit with the motor. ---
