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
1995-1995 E36 M3 3.0 liter
1996-1999 E36 M3 3.2 liter
1996-2002 Z3 Roadster & Coupe (all)

Rally Road has created a strut bar for the E36 based on the design of the original BMW LTW / Motorsport Strut Bar. Rally Road has improved on the original design in many aspects. The bar ends are machined from a single billet aluminum block. The finish is bright black anodize. This bar looks great and functions as well as the factory original. They even include a raised area on the bar ends so you can place your ///M decal like the original. *Just like the original Motorsport Bar, does not fit cars with factory ASC+T
