The Rear Axle Carrier Panel (RACP) is a well-known weak point in all BMW E46 models. Thin sheet metal construction and high-stress forces during acceleration, braking, and cornering often result in cracks or structural failure of the carrier panel, risking the structural integrity of your chassis. To remedy this issue, many enthusiasts install bottom-side sheet metal reinforcement plates. While these kits are essential for preventing stress cracks around the rear subframe mounting points, they do not address the overall flexibility of the carrier panel under high-performance driving conditions.

Turner Motorsport’s Rear Subframe Reinforcement Brace is the ultimate solution for enthusiasts seeking to eliminate carrier panel flex and prevent further RACP damage. Designed for high-performance driving and track use, this brace adds essential structural rigidity to the rear end of your E46, enhancing both durability and driveability. This brace is constructed from heavy-duty steel tubing and finished with a durable blue powdercoat for corrosion resistance and a striking appearance. During design, Turner's engineers ensured this brace was compatible with their underside Rear Subframe/Chassis Reinforcement Kit (ES#3006359), making it the perfect addition to a comprehensive chassis strengthening strategy.

Don’t let RACP failure and chassis flex limit your E46's performance potential. Upgrade to the Turner Motorsport’s Rear Subframe Reinforcement Brace to fortify your chassis, enhance stability, and unlock superior handling for both road and track use.

PART DESIGN

The four-point triangulated design ties the rearmost subframe mounting locations to both rear strut towers, reducing chassis flex under extreme forces.
By restricting downward flex in the RACP during acceleration, torque transfer efficiency is maximized for a more responsive driving experience.
Just like a rear strut brace, this reinforcement minimizes lateral loads during cornering, ensuring consistent handling.
Constructed using heavy-duty steel tubing to provide reliable support during spirited driving, track use, and for vehicles with increased power output.
High-quality "Turner Blue" powdercoat finish delivers excellent corrosion resistance, shields against scuffs and scratches, and adds a sleek, performance-oriented aesthetic to your E46.
Confirmed functionality with the Turner Motorsport underside RACP reinforcement plates (ES#3006359)—combine these two for the ultimate chassis strengthening solution!

Do we ship abroad ?

Yes we do, to almost anywhere in the world though remember the postage is often high when shipping anything bulky. Most bulky items we export will go by UPS so you can track the package online and could reach America within 48 hours providing its in stock !

However there are a few countries we do not ship to, some of these include: Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, Nigeria, Macedonia, Syria, Ukraine, Lebanon.

Why is postage on bulky items to some countries expensive compared to some other companies ?

For both yours and our safety we use well known couriers such as DPD Local and UPS for shipping, then we know exactly where it is in the world at any time and we know its going to arrive safely. Shipping small items can be cheap, but items such as bodykits are expensive to ship - we have a very small margin on the postage fees merely to cover packaging. We can now ship using standard post on some items, however using all methods you may incur import charges when you receive the goods for which we cant be responsible for.
