This is simply because the hollow section the subframe bolts to does not connect to to the frame rails of the car or anything else that could be considered structural. Instead, it shrinks down to a single layer of sheet metal towards the wheel arch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven with underside reinforcement plates installed you aren't safe from this as you cannot correct one of the biggest design flaws from just underneath. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe've done our best to bridge the weak points with our underside plates however, for those looking to more comprehensively reinforce their E46 chassis without blowing the budget, we have designed this cheap yet effective and completely hidden solution to prevent any chance of that ever happening.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product closes the gap (pic 3) providing a direct transfer of stress from the carrier panel to the frame rail preventing the boot floor from separating from the chassis rails permanently while simultaneously providing a noticeable increase in chassis rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CMP Auto Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42598922584182,"sku":null,"price":907.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1217\/5090\/files\/E46CRP6-min.png?v=1759214808","url":"https:\/\/modeautoconcepts.com\/de-tw\/products\/cmp-stage-1-5-e46-chassis-rail-plates","provider":"MODE Auto Concepts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
