Also, when it comes to installation, it probably costs the same amount or maybe less to just swap in an entire subframe with the bushings pre-installed rather than removing and pressing in new subframe bushings into your stock subframe.

The main purpose though for getting the full axle though is cost and the LSD. It costs $4k to buy and install an aftermarket LSD into a welded diff. It probably going to cost approx $4-5k to buy the whole M3 rear axle and get it all installed.
dont forget when your girlfriend says you cant do it i have first dibs
