$8-$10k. Depends on what you do though. When you drop the rear subframe, great time to do bushings, etc. when you pull the oil pan and drop the front subframe, motor moo it鈥檚, power steering lines, etc. If you take advantage that most of the labor is done already, you can spend more but get bang for the buck since you already paid for the labor.
If the actual frame is bent, I don't think it costs $230 only. 8HP70Z Gearbox on E46 || M4 DCT on E46 Project || Low CR Built M54B30 Project || Mega Subframe Reinforcement DIY.

I got fairly lucky with mine, $1650 CAD for a shop to install Redish V2 plates, Powerflex Subframe & RTAB bushings, and OEM diff bushings. Then I heckled them since they "forgot" to do the diff bushings, so they refunded me $600. Then another $850ish USD for the Vincebar, and I DIY'd that. MC Discussion starter 路 Jun 23, 2009. I received a letter regarding class action lawsuit about E46 Subframe Class Action Lawsuit (Models affected 1999-2006). They claim that the subframe is defective in that the rear axle supports weaken from the constant loading and unloading associated with normal driving, eventually fracturing and ripping
I waited until a very small crack appeared on my subframe mount. A crack appeared on the left side at about 150,000 miles. I had the Turner re-inforcement kit welded in for a total cost of $1200 including parts and labor. Some have had the job done for a lot less, but I would say around $1000 for the job is fair.
