I ad the same issue with my car
You need to out a spacer in the center point and use a longer bolt.
I went to BMW and looked up the stock bolts measurements.
I believe I used a 60mm but not sure

Lol. I had to remove mine also as the midpipes hit the y brace. You can add some washers if it needs slight clearance but if its a lot then you have no choice but to not install it back. I wasn't too comfortable with this so I bought a hotchkis suspension brace.

I have an HKS Exhaust as well and Yea I did the same, I installed the Hotchkis X-brace BUT the e93 does not come with a specific mounting point that the e92 does(Hotchkis designed for e92) so you'll have to source those out.
Here are some pics I snapped outside a few minutes ago for you.





PM me if you have any questions

Sad part is they no longer sell the Hotchkis suspension brace for the E92 or E93. Those that have it are lucky.
