E89 23i + Luxon strut

[Mikopop]

Hi
Anyone with a 23i N52 have a Luxon strut brace fitted.
I can find info 're 30 compatibility but not the 23i.

I know they are a slightly divisive subject but worst case I get some bay bling!

I contacted the ebay site and they said in reply and I quote " no fit".

Usually I would take that as gospel and move on but all the engine bay pictures show the exact same looking engine bay as I have.

And I may have just gotten some mouse monkey who just provides generic advice from a spreadsheet somewhere.

So looking for actual 23i owners who have this same brace fitted without issues.

Many thanks

Not an owner so can't speak for sure but I am pretty certain you've got the mouse monkey, the 23i and 30i engine bay is pretty much identical.

Thanks Silverstar, that was my conclusion.
Hoping for an owner to confirm fitment.

not this, but front brace worked for me, better than expected

It was seeing it on your car that got me interested in the first place.
I have seen the images of yours in situ, my engine bay layout is absolutely 100% the same.

Would you be so kind and measure centre of the three studs from side to side or put another way the width of each span from left to right measured via the mounting bolts.

That would assist me greatly.
Thanks
