Reinforced Front Subframe
BMW E36

The Factory BMW E36 reinforced front subframe is known for the weak control arm and motor mount points and require reinforcement kits to make them suitable for hard driving conditions. But now our Apex Engineered brand new E36 front subframe makes a much stronger replacement than OEM, eliminates the need for a reinforced subframe and is tubular for an excellent weight to strength ratio!

Our subframe is rated at over 1000HP and TQ to take abuse from drag racing, drifting and even rally racing!

This is an easy and quick Bolt On front subframe upgrade which gives you peace of mind at the track or simply just spirited driving!
