BMW Strut Braces & Stress Bars

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.

As Used on Project E36 M3
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

The Carbon Fiber ECS strut tower bar kit offers more than just good looks - it also serves to protect strut towers from "mushrooming" or other deformation caused by rough roads or vehicles with stiff suspension and helps to triangulate the front end, providing more consistent suspension geometry with less chassis flex. Strut tower plates should sit flush against the strut towers. If this is not the case, your strut towers are to some extent deformed. This can be easily remedied in minor cases with a block of wood and a hammer. Carbon fiber is an excellent addition to any vehicle and offers a very unique look that is found on some of the most exotic vehicles on the road today. This strut bar kit features a clean woven design that is sure to look phenomenal for years to come and will compliment absolutely any engine bay. Don't settle for a boring stainless steel or aluminum strut bar, your BMW deserves the best. Features high gloss carbon fiber bar and black CNC machines tower plates with stainless steel hardware. Not for SULEV M56 engine models.

This carbon fiber strut brace uses a flat-oval design with a hinge-less mounting system that makes this one of the best strut braces on the market (especially at the price!). Cornering forces can put stress on the chassis, especially when used with stickier tires and stiffer suspensions.Strut braces help to reduce chassis flex by tying the two strut towers together. This design is stronger than most strut braces that use a hinge on the end that allows additonal flex. This design has fixed end mounts that the strut bar is bolted to. The slim oval tube is 100% carbon fiber for excellent strength and rigidty. The entire assembly is less than 5lbs and installs in minutes.

Fitment note: the end plates on this brace are closed. Some aftermarket front struts have an extra tall strut pin that will interfere with this brace.

This item fits the following BMWs:
2006-2011 E90 BMW 325i 325xi 328i 328xi 330i 330xi - Sedan
