IE Subframe plate install. Garage needed.

[avhbi]

Just bought these off another member and need somebody to install them. I'd buy another subframe and get and engineering firm to do it but unfortunately it's a Z3M and the subframes are different, ergo hens teeth. So this means it has do be done all at once. Bummer.

Anybody around or in London that can do this?

Do you have a link to these plates?
Rear beam right? Front one is totally different to an E30 beam/crossmember.

Or is the car a Z3M as well?

[avhbi]

Same as these http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80410

Weld in, elongate the holes and that will hopefully give you 1.6" worth of adjustment for camber and .6 for toe. Car is a Z3M so the same rear beam bar an exhaust mount.

Car is a Z3M

Did you read the title of this section of the forum?

There is another section for non E30 questions.

Whats the difference exactly? I have a Z3 rear beam already converted, sand blasted and powder coated ready to go

[avhbi]

Exactly? This is the Internet...
Well I believe the exhaust mount on a z3m is symmetrical and that I think is that. Everything else is the same to the degree that racers and others just cut off and reweld the mount on any old subframe.

BenHar: this affects everyone with this subframe so I thought I'd hopefully share the love

As far as I know the actual beam carrier bit is the same on all z3s bar that mount, the trailing arms are very different on 6 cylinder z3s.
Vs e30 beams, the trailing arms are wider, using the hubs on e30 arms basically produces an e36 offset M3 beam. I think the beam may be a tiny bit wider between the beam bushes than an e30 beam.
I didn't take the beam piece when I picked up my z3 bits.

and - Ohhhh camber adjustment tabs. I'm sure there will be someone in London that can weld those on.
