Garage Sale / Blow Out Pricing / This Saturday Jan. 26th / Orange Calif. / 9 am to 12 noon / Zoom for pieces you want shipped

Paul's response about sub frame differences:

Ohmess,
Thanks. I read your prior post. The powdercoated subframe was definitely out of an E3? It looks like an E12 subframe. I have not spent that much time under E3, but I will definitely get images of the subframes that we have for sale at the shop. Thanks for this follow up, Paul
 
Hi Mike - my response:

Hi Paul - I bought the subframe from Al Taylor (Bavman here), and Al told me it was from an e3. Then again, he also told me it would fit an e9, but when it didn't he bought it back.

Al funds his racing selling BMW parts, so he's usually pretty good. I bought my five speed, shift platform, e12 flywheel and a handful of other things from him. But with Brendan and now you thinking this was an e12 part, maybe that was the problem.
 
Thanks for the quick reply. Lets get some hard data: I will measure my Coupe subframe (Patricia Mayer's known original) and post it on this thread. Then.....If we can get an enthusiastic E3 owner to crawl under his car and get the same measurements? We can put this to rest with some hard numbers. Back to you shortly with a few images and numbers.
 
OK, I was clearly wrong.

I currently have 2 CS rear subframes. The one in Patricia Mayer's car and the shiny black one that is center image on slide 2. Both are identical.

It is very clear that Bavaria (E3) rear subframes are noticeably different. The easiest way to note the difference is the outer mounting point. On the CS the bolt center line is roughly in the very center of the entire subframe arm. On the E3's it is sunken noticeably lower to the lower edge. Slide two and three show these differences. See also BMW's part no. differences including the E12, that I shot my mouth off earlier -slide 1. That's like the 17th time this week I've been wrong ;). Apologies to Ohmess and the great Al Taylor for being spot on!

A tip of the chapeau to @Mike Pelly who just provided the clearest image of these differences. Note both the inner and outer bolt hole center lines. Thanks Mike!


Back to answering the original question and concern:

We have (1) E9 subframe for sale and (1) E3 subframe for sale this Saturday.

Mark do you have 3.0cs rear swing arms? you will need those to convert to discs. i knew of a full rear axle in atlanta a month ago, if you are in need, i can check if the guy still has it.

I have been told 2800cs subfraime is not same with 3.0cs and maybe I am wrong now is your subfraime came from 3.0cs or 2800cs

The rear trailing arms are different but not the subframe. The ideal upgrade for a 2800CS are the 3.0CS swing arms. Regardless, our parts are from a 3.0cs.
