THIS IS SO SO WRONG 😩

I felt like this strut bar needed redemption after those LOL

As to the solid 3 point before I went with it, did reading and on insurance some providers don't want to cover it because it doesn't have the under crush fold point for accidents like oem bars do but a reason I went with it too was under heavy cornering I've seen tales and pics of the welds breaking on the oem bar mounting point at the strut tower point since it's not using the strut mount bolts, under cornering you're at the mercy of how good that weld is on the strut tower to the bar mount point

With that BIG FAT JUICY SUPERCHARGER it doesn’t matter what colour the strut brace is, so long as it’s doing the job it’s designed for. I’m liking the headlights too

There is no OEM strut brace straight between the turrets on a Zed4 The only OEM strut brace, are the two diagonal components.

The other is none OEM, so check your insurance covers it. .

Sorry to be a bore there.

There was an OEM Cross brace. It is listed as an "accessory" but is no longer available from BMW

I like the strut brace is that an OEM one and was it chromed or polished from bare metal?

It was on the car like that when I purchased it. I thought they all had them at first and that it was a standard fitment from the factory. But I was told that they aren't standard(on here) and someone must have put it on it.

That on that you have installed is a factory option. Although, it is no longer available.

Luxon makes this tower brace. The only place I found it for sale was eBay. I think it has improved the cars handling.
