Here at Turner Motorsport we love our classic Bmw's and are more excited than ever to focus on upgrades for the enthusiasts such as ourselves. With the prices of E36s going up and the unobtainable M3 LTW being just that, unobtainable, we decided to focus on what we have and what everyone else is able to get. It seems by now all of the E36's have been fitted with upgraded suspensions and sway bars which we have a large selection of. We found a missing part to our mission critical performance E36 project and that is the X-brace. Since the LTW is fitted with a factory X-Brace the engineers here at Turner decided to take it a few steps further. Starting with idea of improving structure and handling on the factory x-brace we thought "how could we make it better?” Before we knew it we had full 6061-T6 billet aluminum that would surpass the factory X-Brace soo much that they shouldn't even be classified on the same spectrum.

Our Turner X-Brace starts off with a solid block of 6061-T6 billet aluminum that is machined to precise tolerances, utilizing both factory mounting locations and efficiency. The brace then gets drilled and tapped to fit the modular mounting brackets perfectly before being anodized in the beautiful Turner blue. To finish off the fine details the X-Brace is assembled with zinc-plated hardware for superior corrosion resistance for time to come.

Original BMW chassis reinforcement developed for the special M3 LTW (Lightweight) model. This tubular-steel part connects the front subframe to the body and gives the car a more solid feel with less flex. Every convertible and Roadster model uses a similar design to address inherent chassis flex in the front of the car. Fits all E36 and Z3 chassis BMWs.

By adding this Genuine BMW Motorsport cross brace, you'll dramatically reduce that flex and movement in the front half of the body on your E36. This is a must-have on any BMW E36 that has an upgraded suspension, larger sway bars, is driven aggressively or sees ANY amount of track time. The Xbrace is a factory BMW Motorsport part, so design and fit are both great and the installation is straight forward and easy. Perhaps best of all is the low price compared to the impact the Motorsport X-brace has on the E36 chassis. If your car is a 1992-1996 model, be sure to select the option below so we include the proper hardware (nutserts) to use during installation (1997-1999 cars don't require them.)

The E36 Motorsport X Brace / Cross Brace fits:
1992-1995 E36 325i, 325is, 325ic
1996-1998 E36 328i, 328is, 328ic
1997-1999 E36 323is, 323ic
1992-1999 E36 318i, 318is, 318ic, 318ti
