need instructions on how to replace the complete rear subframeand drivetrain

[Shaddyy]

Started off at 9am, no sun, raining, was driving peacefully until a car decided to cut infront of me leaving out of a gas station and hit my car hard, i was spinning out and the car turn 180 degree and the rear passenger side wheel hit the curb of the medium and swung my car above the medium. I walked out and checked to see the damages and surprisingly there was NO damage on my bumper or the oil pan..... Im really happy about that but still, broken axle on my passenger rear side and control arms everything was ruined.

I just need to know the instructions on how to replace this bc i bought it and it comes in in 3-4 days.

This thread goes over a lot of the steps. For the drive shaft there is a thread on installing a carbon fiber drive shaft that covers a lot of the steps too.

If you need step by step instructions, you might be in over your head.

If you are handy, follow the below high level steps.
- Remove Exhaust
- Remove shields / brace, remove or disconnect driveshalf
- Remove parking brake cables
- Disconnect body to subframe brake lines
- Disconnect ABS and brake pad sensors
- Disconnect shocks
- Lower Subframe

your insurance should cover you from accident with uninsured motorist. What am I missing here?

There are DIY — search for e90 M3 rear subframe diy. It will probably be for doing subframe bushings but dropping it is the way some do the job.

Probably the fact that it didn’t go down exactly as described by the OP

Or his deductible is $1000 and he does not want to make a claim.
