    IX Front Subframe Pic Please

    Could one of you IX people post a picture of your front subframe?

    does anyone know how much deeper it is than a normal 325i or 318is subframe?

    I have a project that needs more room :-)

    too long of searching.... but i found it.

    There is a post on there saying "the ix unibody is different." Is this true?

    will this subframe not fit my car sans engine?

      it won't work, the mounts for the suspension and steering are completely different, not to mention engine mounts.

        does it bolt to the car...?

        do any other subframes fit the E30 that are "deep?"

            even if it did, you wouldn't be able to mount your steering rack or control arms. so basically, no.
