Protect your BMW’s engine cradle from cracks and fatigue. This Turner Motorsport weld-in strengthening plate set is the trusted upgrade for the E36 M3 and BMW Z3 front axle carrier.

These weld-on reinforcement plates spread the load across a much larger area, transforming a known weak point into a robust, long-term solution.
