You got like 2 weeks!

At my pace I've been doing like 1 thing a week. This week I got the bushings pressed in among other things. Now all I have left is to put it back together.

Mmm in some good company with these other BMWs

Yepp, I was talking to my buddy that has that shop and we should be getting the car in there in the next couple weeks to swap the subframe.

In other news, I brought the car out to a little meet a mile from my house.. and realized why I don't really bother with meets anymore...

Any reason why you couldn't just pull your existing subframe and repair/reinforce that? Looks like you could hammer it back into shape, weld up the crack and then build some reinforcement plates out of some 1/8" flat strap that go across the top where the mounting holes are and then wrap down the corners where the crack is and maybe go 1' past it or something. Just an idea

That might be an option. Right now I'm gonna pull the subframe, throw this junk one in so I can drive the car and the evaluate what I'm gonna do from there.

In other news, I got a deal on a racing dynamics wing today. Now I actually want to do some exterior visual mods. I'm not super in love with the wing, I want the one that doesn't have the center supports and has the gurney flap ideally. But I'm thinking of just sending it with this, an is lip, skirts, and splitter. That's kinda the look I'm going for.
