Entire M3 subframe/diff swap

agl1911 · 02-28-2018, 12:49 AM

Hi everyone, been doing some research on the 135i and was curious if I were to source a complete M3 subframe with diff, suspension etc. such as this Minus the drive shaft which I understand needs to be customized or get a 1M drive shaft sourced but will all the other suspension bits be a direct bolt on to the 135i or do i need to customize the axles/arms or whatever to get it to install correctly into a 135i? Thanks in advance.

For those curious, after speaking with a few people minus the drive shaft it looks like it is a direct bolt on.
