Made in the USAAs much of an "Ultimate Driving Machine" it is, many BMW models unfortunately suffer from weak points in the chassis. Over the years we have uncovered many weak or failure-prone areas in the chassis and have developed our own reinforcing solutions for them. And we continue to be the leading experts on BMW chassis reinforcing. Failures can come from a number, or combination, of causes: improper maintenance, age and mileage, poor design, environmental factors, poor repair work, and over-stressing modifications. The longer you let your car go without repairing or reinforcing these areas, the closer it gets to crumbling apart. Our chassis reinforcement kits are designed to first identify potential weak points and then strengthen and reinforce the existing design.

Most of our kits are not labor intensive although welding is usually required. If you suspect your chassis may have structural problems we recommend taking it to a well-known bodyshop or restoration shop. (find out who your local BMW dealer uses - we sell many of our kits to dealer-authorized repair shops). Making the preventative fix simple and effective is better than a long and complicated repair after the failure. Our kits are not usually used for fixing existing damage (only your body shop can determine the correct course of action). But our kits have been proven under extreme conditions on racetracks around the world to prevent many of the costly - and dangerous - chassis problems.

A strut tower bar is one of the most common and effective upgrades in a vehicle. With the installation of a strut brace, the body gets added structural strength, preventing tower flex and alignment changes during sporty driving or while at the race track. Improve your E46-Chassis BMW with the Karbonius Carbon Strut Brace! Karbonius Composites was inspired by the popular, but no longer available BMW Performance strut bar to create a version of their own. They have designed an extremely strong and lightweight brace that not only adds strength and stability, but also a spectacular eye-catching look. The carbon strut bar is manufactured in prepreg carbon fiber and cured in aluminum mold in an autoclave; while the strut tower caps are 5-axis CNC machined, and includes titanium strut tower nuts.
