Hi,
I know these are as rare as hens teeth, but wondered if anyone out there had an OEM Strut Brace for sale which was original fit to the E85 Z4M? Looking to fit one to my Ruby Black Z4M.
Thanks,
Steve
 
Thanks. Isn’t there a clearance issue? I’ve read a few things about having to machine the underside of the brace to stop any interference. Have you got the E46 brace fitted to yours?
 
Yes E46 M3 one fitted to mine

You just have to pull the camber pins out, I cut mine down but if I was going another I would just remove them,(there are there for the factory assembly line to put them in the same place quickly on every car.

I had mine powder coated and there is a tiny bit of rub from the underside if the bonnet, it just needs a tiny bit filling off (about 15mm long and 1mm deep) but this could just be the difference between paint and powder coating

OK thanks for letting me know and for going to the trouble to post a few pics. :thumbsup:

I will keep an eye out for one of the E46 braces too

Just as a guide you shouldn’t be paying more than £150 for an E46 one. Consider that a max, I picked up a very good condition one for £130 recently, might have to bide your time a bit though.
