A cabin air filter is part of a car’s climate control system.  Therefore, whenever the windows are rolled up or if you are using the air conditioner, chances are that the majority of the air that you are breathing passes through the cabin air filter.

Cracked subframe on an E46? Well its unfortunate that this flaw is very common and we’re getting really good at fixing them. So good that we put our lifetime warranty on all of our subframe repairs! So what does it mean to have a cracked subframe? Well the rear suspension on a BMW all bolts together and is mounted to the car by 4 large bushings. The cracks that we’re talking about are surrounding where these bushings mount to. The metal in the frame in this area is just a little but too thin so when we reinforce it we weld in much thicker material to ensure no future cracks. Another contribution to cracked sub frames is worn differential and subframe bushings. When the bushing is worn it will cause a clunk. What that means for the the subframe is a massive amount of load put in those already weak areas. If you’re hearing any clunking from the rear of your car its probably a worn bushing and its probably causing stress to these weak frame areas. When we repair the s ... read more
