akapjay 41 Report post Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Y'all likely know the weak point with E30/E36/E46 rear shock mounts and E36/E46 front strut mounts cracking or warping. I learned the hard way years ago, and I didn't want to get caught out again so had some reinforcement plates cut out! Offering cheaper pricing to Bimmersport members, than trademe/FB marketplace. Rear reinforcement (E30, E36, E46, and Z3): - 3mm mild steel + bituminous coat (the coat is only to avoid surface rust while storing for spares) - Swag gaskets (OE spec) Front reinforcement (E36, E46**): - 3mm stainless steel (11G) - Elring gasket (OEM) - Designed to allow camber adjustable top plates. **Note - The E46 had a 'poor road package' option which came with a similar reinforcement plate. The front plates will fit most E46 aftermarket strut mounts with no modification, and also factory strut mount with another hole drilled for the aligning dimple. $40: Rear set including gasket-washers. $85: Front set including gasket-washers. $110: Full set of front and rear, including all gasket-washers. Postage anywhere in NZ included, or can pickup in Auckland.
