BMW Strut Braces & Stress Bars for BMW 5 Series E39 (1996-2003)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

BMWs need some added chassis strengthening in the front. You may notice some "chassis flex" when cornering or driving over a bumpy road. The reason for this is the incredible amount of force being applied to front strut towers. They have a tendency to flex when force is applied to them. Tying the strut towers together with a brace reduces the amount of flex and soldifies your car's chassis. Easy installation.

A strut tower brace adds additional reinforcement to the front strut towers, tying them together for extra rigidity. This makes the whole structure stronger with less chassis flex. Handling and steering feel are improved with better turn-in and input with no downsides. The Dinan strut tower brace is a very high quality aluminum brace with precision machined ends that match the contours of the strut tower. Other braces simply sit on top which reduces their effectiveness. This is definitely one of the stronger strut brace designs on the market. The center bar is polished aluminum with carbon fiber inlays - an unmistakable sign of precise engineering when you open the hood.

This shock tower brace tightens up handling while preserving the structural integrity of your front strut towers over time. Not only does this prevent squeaks and rattles, it also results in sharper cornering thanks to the reduced flex. Being a Dinan accessory, it's a high-quality piece with a performance impact nearly matched by its attractive appearance.
