Hi thank you for trying out the brace.
Recently I got the same brace from eBay from reading your input about improvement in the chassis.
After receiving the product, I tried to install but I noticed that the holes used to mount the brace in the previous photos are empty on my e90. They were blank holes. Do you happen to have rear folding seats?
I was wondering if you have any advice on the install.

I will attach pictures very soon.

Thanks for the help!

the e90 didnt come with the oem rear brace like e92 and m3, so you have to measure the hole and use rivnut insert

You have fit riv nuts on the e90. Only the e92s came with those brackets that you swap out. There is a thread somewhere with some people who have fitted the bracket that should help you.
