    its an m3. He would have to swap out hubs and brakes, the trailing arms are out of teh question. Just plan for it to be down for 2 days. One day for removal and take the stuff and clean it up paint it, electrolsysi etc. And then one day assembly.

      Kmarei they are right its best to just drop the whole frame and do it all together which is lots of work and time.
      I just did all my bushings so it would probably be best to just to swap my subframe w new bushings for yours and call it a day.
      Oh I am 4 lug so while we're at it might as well swap wheels too. :)
      I love that people ask stupid questions so I dont have.

        Aah okay. Well if the op is serious ill buy the special tool from bavauto for rear subframe and ill have it for other projects I guess.

        But I'd be down to start it on a Friday and work on it thru the weekend
        m20 is plenty. im simply a drifter.

          Sounds more complicated that I thought
          This will have to wait till I get a winter car
          Can't afford to be without the car for 2 days
          It's my daily driver

          I found an Audi A4 Quattro wagon
          I've done the whole winter tire thing on my e92 m3
          Sucked
          Rear wheel drive and snow jut aren't the right match :)
          Once I have the second car then I'll do the subframe and trailing arm bushings
          And I can use the Audi in the meantime

          Thanks to all the suggestions :)

            The budget on subframe bushings just went way up.lol but I feel u on it being your daily and if it can't be down that long so be it.

            I'll probably pop mine in before yours if u wanted to come by the shop and check it out after I start. I'm getting a dif this weekend, building the 3.73 currently in the car and then selling the 4.10 I'm picking up. Maybe rebuilding the 4.10 before selling.

            If anyone is interested in LSD rebuilds I'm going to be starting on my own 2 this month
