I can feel the front end feels less ''meh'' when driving on public roads.

Hi All

Was there any design change needed for the strut brace between the M54 & N52 engines?

I have an N52 and am looking at a brace that states it is designed for M54....

The suspension struts won't have changed at all will they - so does the engine protrude upwards more?

I did post an installation thread, but as this is a collection of strut brace pictures here's the full 3-piece StrongStrut kit in black fitted to my Alpina

And to show the clearance, the white blobs on top are pieces of clay to check the clearance between brace and bonnet
