Strut brace for 335d

I have an E92 335d, Msport Coupe, 2010, LCI. Does anyone know of any strut braces that will fit?

And here's how:

But TBH, as yours is MSport spec, you'll have the OEM braces in place already, so unless you track your car, I doubt you'll notice much difference with the M3 brace.

Just my five penn'orth...

Thanks for the information.

I am looking for a straight one to go between the towers and keep the current one in a "V" shape in place

I have found a matching front and rear Strut brace for the 335d Coupe made by "Wiechers" so a German brace on a German car

Nope Phil. I removed the entire OEM strut brace and replaced it with the M3 one. It was my last suspension mod (done 2 months after an entire suspension swap to M3 bits) so I could personally tell/feel the difference right off the bat.
