Sorting out the subframe issue
Hi all, I need to replace the cracked subframe on my CSL.
Are people welding plates to the original or replacing it completely? I imagine if I took it to a BMW dealer they'd only replace it with a revised OEM part but an independent would weld it? I am based in SW London and ideally looking for a good independent to carry out the work. If you have any recommendations, I'm all ears. Thank you. |

Depends how far the cracks have spread.
Small cracks get drilled and welded. Large enough cracks require a new floor. There is no updated/improved floor. Plates alone have proven to be an insufficient fix. You really need something like the vince bar to actually address the failure mode.
