Strut Brace for a 335xi
i have a 2008 335xi, and i am interested in putting "BMW's" strut brace on my car.
the BMW performance folks say their strut brace will NOT fit my car. the tech guy at the dealership said it won't fit because, the air filters on the turbos are in the way, and the strut towers are straighter (more vertical), and the spacing between them is to close. i really want to install BMW's CF strut brace on my car. i saw the post where the brace was shimmed w/ washers, but the brace showed (pics) some railing at the points where the bolts connect it to the car. this seemed to defeat the purpose of the brace. because there is to much play in the brace. anyone have any luck installing BMW's brace (aliuminum or CF) in there 335xi? this is a second post for this, i got noresponce on the BMW brace last ime thanks |

what about the spacing (length) between the strut, will that be correct?
