Mar 16, 2004 The bushings are designed to crack and fail before the subframe does.But it was a big problem with E36 and E36 based cars. On the E46 the problem seems improved but I still hear sporadic cases of the subframe failing.Nothing as problematic as the E36.

Product Description
These BMW E46 Rear Subframe Reinforcements weld directly onto the chassis – properly reinforcing the subframe mounting points to eliminate the possibility of a failure. An E46 rear subframe reinforcement kit is the only solution to prevent cracking and/or tearing of the sheet metal, caused by torque loads traveling up into the chassis through the inadequate mounting points. Those cars that are swapped, tracked and/or raced are guaranteed to experience a failure – prevent it with our E46 rear subframe reinforcement kit!
Our race-proven E46 rear subframe reinforcements are the thickest on the market and are engineered to properly reinforce the failure-prone mounting points. Unlike other kits, these E46 rear subframe reinforcements strengthen the area correctly, by utilizing extra-thick steel which is designed to precisely cover only the surface area of the chassis that is vulnerable to drivetrain torque loads. This provides for both stronger chassis mounting points AND an easier installation!
Precision CNC laser cut and bent. Set of four reinforcement plates and two spacers. Professional installation recommended – welding required.
