Just went by my dealer to pick up my brand new M3 rear subframe and whatever other bits I still needed to finish the rear. Subframe comes with all new M3 bushings......subframe, diff, control arms. Once you factor that into the cost then it stops hurting so much.

Tomorrow will see the beginning of the rear end phase. After checking with a mechanic friend, I'll be putting the diff in the subframe prior to lifting it into place. He had said that a couple of the bolts holding up the diff were tight to get to if I tried to bolt it up after the frame was in place. I'll leave off all of the control arms, axles, and hubs in order to keep things light.
