Wonder if he would have had this problem going M3 LSD......... (only teasing! )



Anyway, I digress. Sorry to break up the party but I got a PM with some questions on this retrofit and just thought it'd be good to share just in case, who knows, 5 years down the line when we all have our e93 braces installed and have abandoned this thread, people can find thorough answers quickly without having to ask the same questions

Was hoping you can correct me if I'm wrong but this is supposed to be a direct bolt on, no drilling of holes if you have an e93.
It should just be plug and play. E93s already have a similar brace in place from the factory that can possibly just be swapped out for the beefier M3 version

Quote:
And again correct me if Im wrong the middle bracing you showed(circled in blue) will need a spacer to avoid hitting the fuel area?
The Thrust brace (circled in blue) from what I know, requires spacers on an e90. If the e93 has a similar or same gas tank, it will probably also require the spacers but since the e93 is based of the e92 and e92s have a smaller thrust brace from factory there is a good possibility the M3 version may be bolt-on, no spacers required. I am going to try and install it without, but am fully expecting to order spacers if need be


Cheers fellas
