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.

Reinforces the strut towers against deformation while adding valuable triangulation to the front end for sharper, more predictable handling. Designed to prevent “mushrooming” and other distortion caused by rough roads or stiff suspension setups, these plates help maintain consistent suspension geometry by reducing unwanted chassis flex. The result? A more stable, confidence-inspiring front end under load. Strut tower plates are engineered to sit perfectly flush against the towers. If they don’t, it’s a sign the towers have experienced some deformation. In minor cases, this can often be corrected using a block of wood and a hammer to carefully restore the mounting surface.

Enhance your BMW’s performance and style with this unbeatable combo! The Turner Motorsport Carbon Fiber Strut Brace and Engine Cover are the ultimate pair to upgrade chassis stability and engine bay aesthetics—all with a single purchase.

G20/G42 Carbon Fiber Strut Brace

For G20 and G42 BMW models equipped with the B48 or B58 engines, the driving thrill is undeniable. Yet, these cars lack a crucial component found in high-performance M models: structural chassis bracing. With Turner Motorsport’s 3-point Carbon Fiber Strut Brace, you’re adding the missing link to your BMW, mirroring the handling stability of an M3 or M4. This is the only strut brace that elevates G20/G42 handling by emulating the stiffness of an M-series chassis, giving you a dynamic edge on both road and track.

The strut brace fits seamlessly into your BMW using the original factory hardware and an included stud kit, offering a hassle-free, direct installation with no modifications required. Designed and tested in-house by Turner Motorsport, this brace reduces chassis flex, enhancing control during spirited driving and providing a tighter, more responsive feel. Constructed from high-strength carbon fiber with billet aluminum end brackets, this strut brace boosts performance while adding an eye-catching focal point to your engine bay.

Strut Brace Features:

Enhanced Chassis Rigidity: Reduces flex by linking the strut towers, promoting a more precise steering response. Street and Track Ready: Engineered for the best of both worlds, offering stability in all driving conditions. Premium Carbon Fiber & Billet Aluminum: Lightweight yet highly rigid, with a stunning woven 2x2 twill finish. Easy Installation: Fits perfectly with stock mounting points using supplied hardware, ensuring a hassle-free setup. Carbon Fiber: Performance & Style

Turner’s strut brace uses structural carbon fiber, designed to endure the rigors of aggressive driving without compromising aesthetics. The brace's distinct, gloss-finished carbon fiber weave adds a sophisticated, high-performance look akin to exotic supercars. Engineered for precision, this brace effectively distributes cornering forces between the strut towers, minimizing chassis distortion and maintaining optimal wheel alignment, even in hard turns.

Turner Motorsport G-Chassis Carbon Fiber Engine Cover for B58 Engines

Give your G-Chassis BMW’s engine bay a polished, refined look with Turner’s Carbon Fiber Engine Cover. This direct replacement cover is crafted from hand-laid, gloss-finished carbon fiber, delivering a resilient, UV-protected finish. With an OE-style indentation for the BMW badge, this cover complements your engine bay with a sleek, factory look that stands out.

Engine Cover Highlights:

Direct Fitment: Seamlessly replaces the stock cover, utilizing factory mounting grommets and hardware. Durable Gloss Finish: Ensures long-lasting shine and UV protection. Distinctive Style: A premium upgrade that elevates the aesthetic of your B58 engine. Installation Notes:
