E92 Front Strut Alternative with Coilovers

Right now had to remove the front tower strut brace since my newly installed coilovers dampening adjuster knob impedes the brace.

Is there any alternatives besides the M3 tower brace, to replace the stock one?

Noticed a lot of alternative just add a brace to the existing V-brace. Besides the M3 version that surrounds the tower to allow access to the adjuster, haven't found any other setup that will use the V setup, yet provide a different mount to allow for access.

Debate to use a straight cross member version without the V in place also I found, but nothing definite regarding performance of not running the V, and just a straight across one that typically is used in conjunction.

Thanks

Put some washers (as spacers) on the strut brace mounting point so that its elevated from the adjustment knob.
