- OEM M3, will fit (i did also) but less space between engine (fuel rail) and the bar. Personal i wont buy it again, its to close and can damage the rail or motor mounts.

Skyer.....sure it'll be a bargain, they still flogging side covers for £300? :lol:

The engine height is very much dependent on the condition of your motor mounts. The engine usually sit a bit lower as the motor mounts age, assuming that you're not running solid motor mounts. So...Your Mileage May Vary...

It's not a blanket statement that just because the bar cleared your car without issues that it will do the same on another car with newer/different engine mounts
eBay last year £165 with all the mounting nuts and caps.Optinium said:If purchasing from Ebay or second hand in general the Strut Brace could have came off a car that was in an accident and warped it slightly so if possible it's worth asking. How much did you peeps pay for the M3 brace?
