Owners of the BMW 3 Series (E46 models) have been reporting cracks and damage in the rear subframe area of their vehicles. The issue was also common on the earlier 3 Series models and unfortunately, have reoccurred with the E46 from 1999-2006. This issue specifically appears in the rear mounting points of the subframe, which can tear out from their position in the sheet metal. This occurs as the rear differential transmits the torsional load from the engine through the subframe, and then, into the chassis of the vehicle. This constant abuse leads to fatigue in the metal, causing cracks and separation from the chassis.

I didn't have the required allen key to tighten down the inner LCA bolts, so I used my bolts from my ASR/Benen combo and make it work. Overboard.....but who cares.
The crossmember didn't go down far enough; I had to push and pull and fight for every bit of extra space.

This is a combination of Hydrogen Alpha data from June 2015 with data in July and August 2016, in all 511 minutes (eight and a half hours) of H Alpha data, consisting of 39 subframes at 9minutes, 13 subframes at 10 minutes and 2 subframes at 15 minutes per frame.
This lengthy total exposure time has enabled me to be able to pick out much of the outer shell beyond the usual view of the Dumbbell.

This is the subframe that supports the sheetmetal top of this table. Since this table is an outdoor table going to Austin, Texas, I have powder coated certail elements of this table build.
Since this part of the table is out of sight when the table is upright and installed, I thought a candy-apple red was in order. Its really a beautiful color. As with all my tables, I finish out and pay attention to detail in all areas, even the ones no one usually ever sees like the underside of the table. I've been doing this long before I knew who Christian Louboutin was :)
